Thomas Felder

Thomas L. Felder, aka “Peacemaker” was born in Long Island, New York on the eve of Christmas 1962. He began training in martial arts shortly after a transition move to Queens, New York at the age of 10 as a definite method of personal protection against the school bullies and gang members at the new public school he was attending. Nevertheless, his journey was beneficial to his success in training karate, Wing Chun, Tae Kwon Do and Chinese Goju, which became his primary discipline of training. Felder has been privileged and blessed to personally train well over a thousand students while opening dojo’s in several overseas locations, such as Germany (Germershiem, Worms, Dexheim and Neubrucke), Kosovo (Camp Bondsteel), Korea (Camp Casey), Turkey (Incirlik Airbase) and Iraq (Baghdad). His United States dojo’s were opened in Fayetteville NC (Yadkin Rd, Rosehill Rd, Pope AFB, Hendricks Mall) and Lawton OK (38 St, and present 4401 Gore Blvd.). Moreover, Felder is a certified Close Engagement Tactics Instructor of Hand-To-Hand Combat known for training soldiers in Haiti, Panama, Kuwait, Iraq, Kosovo, Turkey, Fort Bragg, and Fort Sill. He is a two times World Hall of Fame Inductee of (W.H.F.S.C) and appeared on screen and magazines. Felder continues to provide Self Defense Workshops and Close Engagement Tactics throughout the United States by request. He can be found weekly teaching his Cardio Fitness Kick Boxing sessions and delivering his Tensho Goju Karate at his local Headquarters in Lawton, OK.
