About the Instructors

The Head Instructor: Master Blair
Master Josh Blair is currently a 5th Dan in both Tae Kwon Do and Defensive Hapkido. He started his martial arts training at the age of ten and received his Kukkiwon 1st Dan at the age of fifteen. His education and training have continued since. Traveling all around the nation, learning from diverse Masters and Grandmasters, Master Blair has acquired knowledge in various styles, including: Hapkido, Kenpo, Jujutsu, Aikido, Judo, Tai Chi, Kung Fu, and many more. He has also trained with many weapons, including: the Bow, Escrima, knives, Kubaton, and the cane.

In 1999, Master Blair began training at Kinderhook Tae Kwon Do under Master Jacon and Master McCagg. Being their highest ranking student when his instructors decided to retire, Master Blair acquired the school to continue the martial arts tradition set forth by his Masters. He has since changed the name to Kinderhook Martial Arts and Fitness Center to create a broader student experience by offering more than one type of martial art or fitness solution. Master Blair’s view on the martial arts is a simple one; learn as much as you can and be the best you can be!
