Carter L. Shepard began in his martial arts training in 1982 in a small town in Idaho. Witnessing and experiencing some of the most gruesome child abuse it became a passion to learn and obtain the skills to ensure this type of treatment would never happen to him or someone he loved again. So it was a God send in 1982 when he missed the bus playing marbles at Jefferson Elementary School in a small town in Idaho. He followed a strange sound he heard echoing from the basement of the school. "One!" a commanding voice would yell. "Kiai" The class would respond with a slap to the mat in unison that felt like a tribal drum beat. "Two!" "Kiai!" "Three!" "Kiai!" The Instructor walked over to him and said, "You have a glow on you, you should be in this class." He replied, "I do not have any money." Then in the most commanding voice he had ever heard, "That is not what I asked from you!" That day he witnessed this instructor do things that appeared magical. Even the young kids could effectively defend themselves against eight even twelve of their peers. In short Shihan Carter L. Shepard began missing the bus every day that there was a class. Later he learned it was not magic only effective self-defense training. Now over thirty years later Shihan Carter L. Shepard has taught and trained all over the world.
