Mr. Carmelo Colon Senior Instructor (2nd-Dan Black-Belt) |
Biography:
Born and raised in Junco, Puerto Rico, Mr. Colon began training in the martial arts discipline of Kobudo in 1977. He earned his Black-Belt in the Korean discipline of Moo Do Kwon in 1982. He has trained extensively in European and American Tae Kwon Do, submission grappling, and kick-boxing. He began his association with Master Morales in 1998, when both were instructors with Master Sergio Llano's school in Davie (Ultimate Karate Martial Arts).

He's A High Flyer! Since 1990 Mr. Colon has worked full-time for the Fort Lauderdale Police Department (mainly in beach patrol units). |

Mr. Colon also serves as a department self-defense instructor, specializing mainly in defensive tactics and fighting for street patrols and SWAT-teams.
Mr. Colon completed two years of college (computer science) in Puerto Rico. He then served in the U.S. Army from 1980 to 1990, eventually becoming a sergeant and tank commander in an armored battalion in Germany.
Mr. Colon loves music and is an avid guitarist (though he claims "old-age & mangled fingers" have cooled his riffs somewhat!). He very much enjoys working with young martial arts students, particularly his sons Carmelo, Jr., and Tom.
