Brad Perkins began his training in Taekwondo in 1989 onboard a naval nuclear aircraft carrier while it was on a 6 month deployment. Out of 250 original students, only 6 continued training when the carrier finished its tour. He was transferred to Pensacola, Florida in 1992 and continued training WTF Taekwondo. In Florida, he started competing in tournaments and won various medals in his weight division. He also taught self defense to the military police force and to military families. At the end of his tour in Florida, he earned his 1st Dan. Brad moved to Dallas where he trained under Master Dong Lee. He also helped train the Mesquite Police Force.

Life and the pursuit of great accomplishments are about knowledge and perspective. A person laying in the gutter looking up at a penthouse sees the world of possibility totally differently than the person looking out over the city from the balcony. You might say that one person must have had more of an advantage than the other.
