MARTIAL ARTS BIOGRAPHY:
With Over Sixty plus Years In the Martial Arts:
Highly trained in a variety of Martial Arts, Grandmaster Derman B. Hodge, Sr. Started his training at an early age in 1960, He believes in teaching the Traditional Martial Arts using modern scientific methods. For GM Hodge, the Martial Arts are a way of life. He stresses the necessity of balancing the Mental, Spiritual and Physical aspects of being in both Martial Arts training and daily life. Through the World MooSul Kwan Federation, Chang-Hun TaeKwon-Do association and the World Martial Arts Weapons Federation he has certified over 450 Black Belts in various styles including TaeKwon-Do, Hapkido, Grappling, Aikido, Aiki JuJutsu, Dae Pung Kwan HosinDo, Shotokan, Judo, Arnis, Sil Lum Kung-Fu and Weapons. From the World Martial Arts Academy (International headquarters) in Florence, SC-USA, he oversees an international organization of schools, Instructors and over a thousand individual members. Grandmaster Hodge also believes that all Head Instructors of affiliated schools should be allowed to operate independently, without the politics and mandates that are in so many organizations today.
Grandmaster Derman B. Hodge Sr. has studied with some of the greats in Martial Arts over a span of some Sixty plus years. His instructors have been as follows: The late Master Elliott M. Hodge (Father), the Late GM Kim,Chong Lo first Korean instructor(Taekwondo & Hapkido) in the 60's and 70's, Sensei Howard Davis (Shotokan &Jujitsu),Soke Te' Sakura Tanaka (Aiki Jujutsu), GM James Benko (Taekwondo,Hapkido and Weapons), GM Hee II Cho (Taekwondo & Hapkido), GM Ji, Jae Sun(Sun Moo Kwan Hapkido), GM Dave Wheatherly( Sun Moo Kwan Hapkido), the Late GM James Garrison (Hapkido), the Late GM Remy Peras (Arnis), and the late GM Eugene Humesky (TaekwonDo).
Grandmaster Hodge is also the author and editor of several books and video tapes on various aspects of the Martial Arts. He has helped produced along with Dr. Dennis Medskar, a audio tape and book on how to keep students motivated in training. GM Hodge along with Dr. Medskar wrote a book on the Healing aspects of the Martial Arts to help you learn about how to take care of your body at home or while training. Grandmaster Hodge is also Certified in the Healing Arts of Shiatsu Acupressure and Spinal Manipulation (By Grandmaster Kim Lo Chong and Soke Te Sakura Tanaka) and is a Certified Healer from The American Chinese Chi Kung Acupressure Association # 849600 , Certified by Dr. David Kash, President, Traditional Medical Science Officer Republic of China ( Cloud Forest Association 1996). Cloud Forest Chinese Healing Institute
Grandmaster Hodge with over fifteen years of Professional Body Guard, Special Event Security, Crowd Control and Bouncing at various Clubs has proven his skills and experience in Self Defense, situations and passive restraint Techniques.
He is perhaps most unusual in his dedication to the Brotherhood of all Martial Arts. He stresses the Brotherhood of all Martial Arts and the fellowship of Instructors all over the World no matter what style you study. Not only does Grandmaster Hodge study and teach a variety of Arts and Styles, he also encourages his students to learn from all sources available to them, and not to have a narrow mind when it comes to the other styles or try to decide which one is the best, because all have similar techniques and movements just a different road to travel. When you attend an educational institute you are taught more than just math.
