Tarheel ChalleNGe Academy Participates in TKTK Martial Arts Seminar

Salemburg, NC — Students from Tarheel ChalleNGe Academy (TCA) recently took part in a dynamic Taylor’s Kenpo Taijitsu Karate (TKTK) seminar and conference, led by Dr. Supreme Grandmaster Rickie Taylor.

TKTK is a blended street martial art that draws from multiple styles, designed to overcome opponents swiftly and decisively. Its analogy to the second hand of a clock highlights its core principles: speed, precision, and constant movement.

The seminar welcomed participants of all ages and abilities, showcasing TKTK’s adaptability and inclusiveness. A highlight of the event was the introduction of Dr. Taylor’s “Deadly Secrets”—advanced concepts that explore the mental and spiritual depth of martial arts beyond physical technique.

For TCA students, the experience reinforced values of discipline, confidence, and purpose-driven learning in both martial arts and life.
