In 1994,Sensei Morris Coker met Master Carole Blatchford at a
Montgomery, Alabama Brotherhood Martial Arts Clinic that united
all area schools together for a unity seminar. After spending
many months debating which was the better style, Korean or
Japanese, the two Masters decided they would prove which was
more effective on the street by taking a bet and joining each
others classes. Sensei Coker traveled to all World Association
events and holds the rank of Cho Dan Bo with the WTSDA. Master
Carole Coker trained to 1st Dan Black Belt in U.S. and
International Yoshukai,and the pair soon married thereafter.
Sensei Morris and Master Coker are proof that "The Family That
Kicks Together, Sticks Together"!!
Sensei Coker transferred to the Atlantic-Pacific Tang Soo Do
Federation in June of 2003 as a Sah Dan instructor. He
successfully tested to Sah Dan Master with the Federation in May
of 2005. Master Morris Coker now primarily teaches Tang Soo Do
with his wife at their full time studio, The Family Karate
Center in Montgomery.
