Master Nicolas McDonald
Master Nicolas McDonald is a 6th Degree Black Belt.
In 1989 and 1991, Master McDonald was awarded "Instructor of the Year" Award by the Eagle Tae Kwon Do Federation, and in 1994 was awarded the “Outstanding Martial Artist of the Year” Award by the US Martial Arts Association, which represents Martial Artists from around the world. In 1991, Master McDonald was featured with Grand Master H. K. Lee on the year book edition of the international magazine, Tae Kwon Do Times.
Under the direction of McDonald, US Tae Kwon Do has stayed active in the community by sponsoring the Parkwood Athletic Association Softball program, participating in the Adopt-a-highway clean up program, as well as providing special self-defense courses for flight attendants at Midway Airlines.
As a strong supporter of Chuck Norris' "Kick Drugs Out of America," US Tae Kwon Do has raised over $4,500 for inner city children. It was also the first school in the area to offer a full year tuition scholarship to local deserving children in a program called project Sparrow. To date, the USTI has given back to the community over $50,000 in scholarships to children who otherwise could not have had this experience. The academy has also participated in the annual Toys for Tots drive.
