Dan Haymore is a 5th degree black belt with nearly 20 years of experience teaching the martial arts.

He has had the honor and privilege of promoting over 30 of his students to the coveted rank of United Black Belt.

Dan is also a top tournament competitor in the local Karate circuit, regularly finishing in the top four in weapons, forms, and sparring.

Dan maintains instructional integrity by regularly attending class at the Ellijay United Karate Studio where his instructor, Mr. Ben Kiker teaches.
