Sr. Master Ron Sell
Within minutes of meeting Master Sell, you can not help but notice that his main goal in life is helping his students become their best. He has helped thousands of students, big and small, from young children to adults, maximize their potential.
"For me, teaching is about sharing the great experiences and traits that I have learned by taking the martial arts. Because of my lessons, I am happy, confident and disciplined -- three traits that have helped me become successful in life. It blesses me to see kids go from C's to A's, Adults gaining the skills and confidence to be able to defend their families, keep in shape, and all our students becoming Leaders! And of course, our School is FUN!"
Master Sell began his Black Belt Leadership Training training at the age of seven, under the tutelage of his mother, Grandmaster Brenda J. Sell. He earned his black belt at age 9, becoming one of the youngest black belts ever promoted. Even when asked at only nine years old what his desires were, it was helping other people build self-confidence, respect and discipline through the martial arts training.
In his early 20's, Master Sell was both a Georgia State Champion and Florida State Champion in both Forms and Fighting.
Master Sell was also inducted into the Black Belt Hall of Fame for his Teaching Style for Children. Master Sell has also written manuals on how to teach Leadership traits to Children and Adults, already sold in over 30 countries.
In 1999 and 2004, Master Sell's martial arts school was voted one of the top 200 Schools in North America.
Master Sell is a mentor to karate instructors all over the globe, training them on how to teach leadership and how to operate their martial arts schools more effectively. Master Sell wrote one of the first "Martial Arts Instructors Teaching Guide." He was the first to create audio/visual CD-ROM training for students and instructors.
Now, Master Sell holds a 7th Degree Black Belt in TaeKwonDo, a 3rd degree Black Belt in Hapkido and a 6th degree Black Belt World Certified in both Chung Do Kwan and the prestigious World TaeKwonDo Federation (WTF, Seoul Korea).
"I am so excited to be helping our students in the Tampa Bay area. I am living my passion of 'Maximizing our students Potential!'"
