Darwin Haynes began his martial arts training as a U.S. Marine. He was stationed in Okinawa, where he studied traditional Okinawan Shorin Ryu under world class martial arts pioneer Master Eizo Shimabuku. When he left Okinawa, he continued his training in New York. Darwin received his Black Belt in Tang Soo Do from Masters Arthur Cohen and Richard Chun.  Since then, he as become a 5th degree Black belt, and has taught for 40 years. He is trained in the ISC pressure points system, and he has been a contributor and demonstrator for several Martial Arts Texts and videos. These include the book Lethal Floor Fighting, Ground Fighting Videos, Vol.1 & 2 and the Martial Arts Training Guide. Darwin has been a demonstrator at Nassau Coliseum, NY for the Oriental World of Self Defense and his expertise has been requested for seminars and workshops held by even the most knowledgeable in the Martial Arts community. He remains grateful for all that Martial Arts has done to enrich his life, but his greatest joy comes from seeing it enrich the lives of his students.
