Matt and Nick have owned their own school since 1996 at age 15. Yes, they are identical twins---hence the name Twin Tigers Karate. They started out with classes in a church and now have a brand new studio in Bethlehem, GA,
about 40 miles NE of Atlanta. Everyone is welcome to come visit or at least send us an email. Would love to correspond with other Christian martial artists.
Thank you, Joseph Lumpkin and Karate for Christ for this
