Master Kevan's Bio

Hello, My name is Master Kevan Hill.

To give you some of my background, I am the owner of ‘Streetbox Karate’ (http://www.streetbox.us), and I am a proud board member of the ‘California Youth Karate Club Inc.’ (http://www.cykc.org).

My interest in the study of Martial arts began at the early ages of 10-12 years old, when for approximately 2 years I studied Judo at the Santa Monica Boy’s Club. My development led along many paths as I have also studied wrestling and Ju Jitsu, along with many other disciplines. 

I am now a Certified 3^rd degree Black Belt in the art of Chinese Kenpo Karate, awarded to me by 3 time World Champion, 7^th Degree Black Belt, Grand Master Hugo Rojas.

Also, as a member of the World Taekwondo Federation, I am a Certified  Black Belt in the art of Taekwondo, awarded to me by the World Famous ‘Grand Master Young Yee’.

I am a staff Karate Instructor for the Hawthorne School District, private schools, Manhattan Beach Parks and Recreation, Hermosa Beach Parks and Recreation, Hawthorne American Legion, as well as many homes throughout the south bay.

I am member of ‘Neighborhood Watch’ and I am the Public Safety Commissioner for District 3 in Redondo Beach, Ca.

I have Citizens Emergency Response Training and I am certified for CPR and First Aid.

I have been teaching Chinese Kenpo Karate and Taekwondo since 1995.  My students enjoy themselves while developing real and usable self defense skills, physical fitness, balance, coordination, and confidence.  My Karate instruction has proven valuable to my students of all ages, and while I do teach adults, my emphasis has been teaching children.  All students who continue with me though,  will later have the option to study mixed martial arts as well as traditional ‘Chinese Kenpo Karate’.

My introduction to the karate program starts with light stretching, warm up exercises, and progresses to basic Karate moves. Discussions about ‘not fighting’ and the need for ‘non-violence’ are held in each class. Children and other students learn about bullies and even more dangerous people. For the smaller children, ‘Karate Games’ will be included. 

The level of the basic moves is raised and confidence and strength are gained, techniques are learned and practiced, and real results are achieved. All of my students eventually have a chance to compete in tournaments for trophies and medals! More importantly, the students learn to set goals, and then reach those goals. My students learn that they can accomplish whatever they would like, the sky is the limit!!!

I certainly look forward to teaching your children and would enjoy the opportunity to meet all of you.

Sincerely,

Master Kevan Hill
