Master
Peter Antonelli started his training in Newburgh,
New York in 1988 under the guidance of Master Don
Southerton (Pin # 19192). Throughout his Tang Soo Do
career he has been an avid competitor and very
successful school owner, and has helped many other
Tang Soo Do practitioners become school owners.
In
1994 Master Antonelli opened Hudson Valley Karate.
In 2000 he relocated to a 7,500 square foot facility
to accommodate the growth of the school. The school
is known for its traditional techniques and
curriculum while teaching with a progressive flavor.
"We honor the past and create the future". In 2008,
Master Antonelli reached the rank of 5th
Dan.
He
has tested and promoted over 300 Black Belts along
with a select number of Masters (Sa Bom) and
Certified Instructors (Kyo Sa). Master Antonelli and
Hudson Valley Karate are actively involved in the
community and always do their best to participate in
events and fundraisers.
Master Antonelli deeply appreciates a connection
with other traditional Tang Soo Do Masters and does
his best to make sure that Hudson Valley Karate can
support other organizations' events. In 2010, along
with a group of Tang Soo Do practitioners, he
travelled to Korea to tour the country and connect
with our first generation Tang Soo Do lineage.
Master Antonelli states that "We are here to carry
on the work of the late Great Grand Master Hwang Kee
by improving human relations through the practice of
the techniques and philosophy of Tang Soo Do Moo Duk
Kwan".
