Kevin Hudson started karate in 1979 at the age of 8. His study included classes four days per week and tireless practice. In 1981 Kevin earned his First Degree Black Belt, just before turning 10 years old. He has been a devoted martial artist ever since. Kevin decided years ago he wanted to own a martial arts center to help kids and adults reach their fullest potential. During the past decade,  Kevin has won 2 world kickboxing titles and one U.S title.  In 1994, Kevin won the Karate International Council of Kickboxing World Cruiserweight Championship, with a 12 round victory over Neil Singleton. To top off 1994, Kevin graduated from the University of South Carolina-Spartanburg, with a degree in Business Management and got married to a beautiful lady named Shannon. Kevin then took a break from kickboxing to concentrate on building his school. In March 2000, Kevin tested for his Go-dan (5th degree black belt) under Joe Lewis. After a brief hiatus from kickboxing Kevin returned to the ring, in 2002, to capture a 10 round decision over Lane Collyer for the I.K.F. Heavy Weight United States title. His current kickboxing record is 21wins, 5 losses, with 10 wins by knock out.
