Hello, my name is Daniel Pierson and I am the Head Instructor and Owner of Richmond Hill Karate. I have studied martial arts since the age of 3 years old. I currently hold the rank of 5th Dan in American Tang Soo Do under Master Clay Pierson, as well as the rank of 5th Dan in Kyusho Jitsu under Grandmaster David Hogan. Martial Arts has always been a major passion of mine. I was fortunate to grow up with my parents running a martial arts school, I began learning at an early age and never stopped. I have been teaching Martial Arts for 12 years now, and get so much joy passing down the knowledge that was shared with me.
