History
Sigung (Grandmaster) Richard Clear has been a student of diverse martial arts for over 40 years, and has been sharing his knowledge for 30 years. His instruction is given family-style, so there are no secrets kept from any of his students. He publicly teaches high-level material that other masters either don't know or won't share. After opening three successful schools in Florida, Sigung Clear decided to relocate his family to the Smokey Mountains in 2001. The three schools were combined into a single, multi-discipline studio in Maryville, Tennessee (just south of Knoxville).
