Kevin Jordan
Kevin Jordan was born in Hattiesburg, MS. He moved to New Orleans at a young age, and started martial arts training shortly after. Martial arts provided an effective means for him to be able to protect himself on the streets of East New Orleans.
Sifu Kevin has been training in Martial Arts mostly under the supervision of Grandmaster Pedelahore, and Master Walter Gipson. He has dedicated his life to the perpetuation of his style, the martial arts, and the enrichment of other people.
When Grandmaster Pedelahore semi-retired, he handed his own school over to Kevin, and the Grandmaster's great niece Brandi Segrave. The school was run and taught for two years before Kevin had to relocate to Nashville, TN.
Sifu Kevin currently holds the rank of 3rd degree black sash. He has studied other arts along the side of Dragon Claw Kung Fu (Lung Shou Pai). He is also ranked in: Kenpo, Hapkido, Juijitsu, Tae Kwon Do, and American Karate.
Kevin has also toured around on the kickboxing circuit for the last two years. He has won and defended the U.S.A.K.A. Welter Weight Kickboxing Title Belt three times before retiring from the ring. He has also fought in several No Holds Barred Matches, and is currently undefeated.
Kevin has been ranked third nationally by the National Black Belt League in his weight division; and ranked first regionally by the Southern Lousiana Association of Martial Artists.
Kevin now resides in Nashville, TN. He was married on July 4, 1999 to Jennifer McMurry (now Jordan). Besides being a martial arts instructor, Kevin is also Chief Financial Officer for LA Weight Loss, Inc. Jennifer is a Nurse Practitioner.
