Jackie Jones
Instructor Jackie Jones holds black belts in both Hapkido and Tae Kwon Do. He has been an instructor for four years and associated with T-USA for a total of seven years. He feels his studies with this organization have taught him patience, self-discipline and a better understanding of martial arts.

As a result of his training in martial arts, he feels the motivation and confidence levels he gained inspired him and helped him in starting a successful business of his own. While Jackie has fun and enjoys teaching the students at T-USA, he tries to instill the values of martial arts into their everyday lives.


Jim Elgin

Jim strongly believes that his own personal training in martial arts has been his guiding path to success in business and his personal life, helping him to grow spiritually and emotionally. His years of experience within martial arts and his passion for it provides his students with the guidance and training that he hopes they will carry with them throughout their lives, both inside and outside of the classroom.
