Dan H. Akin began his martial arts training while serving in the United States Marine Corps.
He has been trained in various forms of physical offensive and defensive skills including: boxing, judo, shaolin, kung fu, cane and hand gun.
He holds the rank of 2nd degree black belt in the Korean discipline of Tae kwon do.
Akin has trained under Master Bobby Staton since 2001, earning his black belt in 2005 and advanced to 1st degree black belt in 2006. He has had the privilege of not only being trained by Master Bobby Staton, but also learning the art from Master Chuck Cory and Master Bat McGrath.
“The art of Kung Fu San Soo as based on the techniques of the five families is both internal and external in that it can do devastating bodily harm yet develops a mental awareness and a strong respect for others and a psychology of fighting.”
