Master
Andrew Gause has been training in the art of Taekwondo
since 1989.
Master Andrew's greatest pride is in empowering his students with self-esteem,
goal setting and the ability to focus their energy positively.
He received his 1st Degree Black Belt in 1992 and began
instructing in 1994. Along the way to earning his 5th Degree
Black Belt
in 2008, he has won numerous Grand Championships,
State tournaments and was also a Co-National Champion in
1997.
In addition to training in Taekwondo, Master Andrew has
earned his 1st Degree Black Belt in Haidong Gumdo. He has
experience in many other styles of martial arts such as
Judo, Hapkido,
Aikido, Kung Fu, Kickboxing, and Kobudo.
Andrew graduated with a BBA in Marketing from James Madison
University. But what Andrew takes most pride in is his
teaching.
"It's
not what I have achieved, but what I can get my students
to achieve that drives me.
And to have such an impact on so many people in so many
different ways is what makes this profession so worthwhile.
This philosophy definitely shows--
as Andrew Gause's Martial Arts (formerly Mountain Kim
Martial Arts) received the Top 10 Martial Arts School Award from AMS (a martial
arts consulting group) in 2005 and 2006 which consists
of hundreds of martial art schools nationwide.
