Instructor Jeff Wheeler

Instructor Wheeler has trained in various Martial Arts for over 24 years. He has experience in Hapkido, Arnis and Boxing. He fell in love with Tang Soo Do many years ago, and decided to make that his primary art. He is currently a 3rd dan with hopes of achieving his Master's rank within the Association.

When asked why Tang Soo Do? "It was the Traditionalism, Brotherhood, and Professionalism that attracted me to the World Tang Soo Do Association which is headed by Grand Master Jae Chul Shin. "He is a great visionary and leader, and I wanted to be a part of that leadership."

The World Tang Soo Do Association celebrated it's 25th year anniversary in 2007. It has grown to well over 150,000 participants which span the globe. Thats a huge accomplishment, concidering the Association was established in November of 1982 with only 164 Charter members.

We strive for excellence in and out of the dojang(studio). It's a huge organization, but at the same time it has a wonderful family atmosphere. "The people actually care and support each other!"

Insturctor Wheeler is World Champion competitor, taking two gold and one bronze medal at the 2008 World Championships. A Gold and two Bronze medals at the 2002 Championships and is a multiple Regional Grand Champion. Instructor Wheeler is an Ordained Minister, Motivational Speaker, as well as a Retired veteran of the Police Dept. He was recently honored and selected as the new KARATE CHAIRPERSON and HEAD COACH for the FLINT OLYMPIAN GAMES and THE INTERNATIONAL CANUSA GAMES. These games and sporting events have been a testament of friendship and goodwill between Hamilton Ontario and Flint M.I. since 1958. As a result, many other American and Canadian Cites have created similar sporting alliances.

Instructor Wheeler and he assistants also teach after school programs in thier local school district. Extending Double Dragon's reach well beyond the walls of it's studio.

When asked what led Instructor Wheeler to open his own school, he adds, that after observing the many terrible choices that young people were making, he decided to be apart of the solution by starting his own Karate studio, which he did April 2004. This was done only after much encouragement from his Regional Director and friend, Master Matt Ochs. Now Instructor Wheeler has an avenue to help make a much needed change in peoples lives and in his community. That avenue, is Double Dragon Tang Soo Do Academy. Then after only 20 months of operation, God had grown Double Dragon to the point where expansion was necessary, and expand they did. On January 16th, 2006 Double Dragon moved into a new studio down the hall, which was twice as large as the original. The new space was welcomed. Then in August 2008, Double Dragon moved into it's 3rd and current location 1235 S. Center Rd. in the Park Place Centre in Burton MI @ I69 & Center Rd. We look forward to more great things from Instructor Wheeler and the Double Dragon Karate family. Is there a second location in their future? Only time will tell. Their motto is Phil 4:13.
