Kicks wasa honored to have Master Tom Merritt and Master
Lucy Hanson at our April 20th, 2004 rank testing. Along with overseeing the
test, Master Merritt taught two seminars on Tae Kwon Do form and technique.
As the first male instructor to ever be invited to Kicks,
Master Merritt said, "I am very honored to be here. It means a great
deal to me to be the first male to teach at Kicks." Master Merritt
went on to comment that, In his more than 20 years of martial arts training,
"Kicks students are some of the finest Tae Kwon Do students I've ever seen."
