We believe this starts from within, through structured Tang Soo Do, Tae Kwon Do, Yoga, Tai Chi, and Physical Fitness. Grandmaster Lane has always held the belief in his heart that Martial Arts is more than just kicking and punching, it’s a way of bringing balance to all aspects of your life. It enables one to grow compassion for others, strengthen friendships and bring harmony to the household and community.
We are here to guide you in your journey to heighten and focus the strengths we individually possess: Positivity, Discipline, Respect, Focus and Mindfulness.

Bond Lane
Vice President / Operations Manager / CFO
Having been in the Food Service industry since I was 7 years old and later acquiring a BS in Hotel/Restaurant management, I have successfully managed over 100,000 employees in 9 different concept restaurants, 1 office setting and 2 hotels; Hilton and Hyatt. As a mentor to my employees, I’ve seen many go on to become successful General Managers, District Managers and Restaurant Owners.
In my down time, I enjoy playing golf, fly-fishing, skiing, cooking and brewing the next great IPA.
D Lane
Copy Editor and Interior Decorator
Wearing multiple hats is something I’m very familiar with. As a C-level Executive Assistant by trade, it’s a necessity. Everything in life is about Vision and Presentation, whether it’s words on a page or a beautifully decorated living space – when done carefully and with purpose, they can each bring a sense of balance to my life.
I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, movie nights at home, and going to Estate Sales – especially when I come across that one great find.
