Biography

TS (Tim) Robinson, of Jacksonville Beach, FL, has been a lifelong student and practitioner of the martial arts in many of its traditional styles. The notion of training in one particular martial art “for life” appealed to him only if it were a collective and comprehensive system, similar to Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do (JKD) martial art, which is a collection of techniques learned from other styles (and a precursor to mixed martial arts). With that philosophy in mind, Tim has earned black belts in 5 martial arts: Taekwondo, Shorin Ryu Karate, Ju Jitsu, Aikido, Jodo, and currently trains in Wing Chun Kung Fu. In his self defense classes, he uses the most effective techniques from these traditional styles and applies them against any form of attack. Each class provides an opportunity for you to learn a system of practical, proven, self-defense techniques and strategies for personal safety and awareness. This system includes powerful street self-defense, unarmed weapons defense, defense from the ground, and effective use of your environment and defensive tools found in your everyday surroundings. Simple, fast, & easy to remember, these basic moves from an eclectic group of martial arts will give you the confidence to defend yourself and your loved ones with confidence when needed.

Over the years, Tim Robinson has written for and been featured in many martial arts magazines, including: Black Belt, Inside Karate, Inside Kung Fu, World of Martial Arts, Combat, and MA Training. He is a volunteer with the Jacksonville Beach Police Department where he currently trains with the SWAT Team during their hands-on tactical simulations. He is also a personal trainer and fitness instructor at Sawgrass Country Club. He’s been teaching self defense (both inside and outside of dojos) for over twenty years. His classes combine physical, mental and spiritual preparedness.

When he’s not teaching, you can find him: walking the beach in the morning with his dogs and his camera waiting for the sunrise; writing his next science fiction & fantasy novel (check out www.tsrbook.com for the books he has published and his book tours) performing standup in comedy clubs around town (a day without laughter is a day wasted); and in fitness centers (as a certified personal trainer and group exercise instructor). Stay in shape, laugh often, and maintaining a sense of discipline are the three keys to his success.
