Master Kenneth Hill, Jr. has dedicated over fifty years to training and teaching various martial arts styles. Like others, Master Kenn was a shy child who stuttered, and he endured ten years of victimization from bullying. Luckily, inspiration would intervene and put Master Kenn on his forever journey.
In 1973, the classic film Enter the Dragon, starring Bruce Lee, sparked his interest in beginning a quest to be an international fighting champion. The process altered his life journey, shifting as he utilized his acquired skills to overcome his challenges. From bullying to suicide attempts and the life-changing diagnosis of Charcot Marie Tooth disease, he has thrived while achieving levels that were perceived as impossible.
That same drive and determination have enabled him to unlock the gifts he uses to teach special needs and disabled students. It is an honor for him to help his team, students, and the countless CMTA sufferers from more than thirty countries unlock their gifts.
Master Hill is incredibly gifted. He holds five black belts in styles that include Hapkido, Tae Kwon Do, and Tang Soo Do. He is a multiple-time (17) martial arts Hall of Fame inductee, a keynote speaker, a 3x international best-selling author, and a Presidential Volunteer Service Award recipient.
This stuttering, shy kid with no self-worth has come a long way to embracing integrity and perseverance. He embraces the blessing and responsibility of being a teacher and a mentor. His lifelong dedication to and engagement in the martial arts community continues to inspire and influence practitioners, special needs people, and disabled people worldwide.
