Nathan Robinson became fascinated with martial arts at age 11. He began studying Krav Maga (Israeli self defense system) under Alan Feldman at his local Junior High School. This launched him into the study of two other martial arts: Taekwondo and Hapkido.

Over the past 12 years Mr. Robinson has successfully won over 200 first place awards which include regional, national and world competitions. Some highlights include both NASKA and PKL/AKL National Championships in 1988 and the 1998 & 2001 ATA World Championships.

Currently Mr. Robinson has settled in Dutchess County, NY and owns and operates Robinson's Taekwondo full time. He is currently a certified instructor under the American Taekwondo Association and teaches Songahm Taekwondo,  Hapkido and Haidongumdo through three separate programs to his students. He was also asked to become the coach for the United States Military Academy (USMA) West Point Army Martial Arts team in December of 1999.

His vision for the next 10 years is to help people accomplish their lifetime goals and dreams through teaching the valuable disciplines of Martial arts and affect his community and country in a positive, meaningful way.
