Grandmaster Gary Keller has studied and practiced martial arts for more than three decades.Relocating from Chicago, bringing his unique style to the Tampa area. His current style or philosophy of Martial arts is based primarily on Hapkido but he also brings those skills from other Art's that he feels are the most effective. Taking elements from Jiu-Jitsu, arnis, boxing, kickboxing, law enforcement tatics, sambo, ground fighting, grappling and other arts he feels are combat ready.

Master Keller is a true role model for people interested in learning the martial arts. He is a dedicated teacher who allows his students to learn at their own pace. I highly recomend his teaching skills.
