Charles (Carson) Potts

October 6, 1956 – April 26, 2018

After serving in the Army for two years, in 1979 Master Carson moved from New York to sunny California, where he started teaching Tae Kwon Do.  He was a 7th degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do and a 5th degree black belt in Hap KI Do. Watching his students learn martial arts and gain confidence in themselves was his greatest reward.­­­­­­Many of his students looked up to him not only as their Tae Kwon Do Master, but as a father figure and confidant.

Master Carson had a great love for animals. He never hesitated to drop everything to help rescue an animal in need, once even crawling under a house to save a litter of puppies.

Memories of Master Carson will forever live in our hearts.
