Meet Patrick Chamberlain - Owner and Chief Instructor
I’m Patrick Chamberlain, the founder and chief instructor of THD. I hold a 5th-degree black belt in Taekwondo and have extensive training in Gumdo, under the guidance of world-renowned masters. With over two decades of experience teaching martial arts, I’m committed to helping each student achieve their personal best, both on and off the mat.
My goal is to make martial arts accessible, fun, and challenging for everyone—from beginners to experienced practitioners. Whether you’re training in Gumdo or joining our Saber Club, you’ll find a supportive environment where you can build not just physical strength, but also confidence, discipline, and focus.
