I love to laugh & have an odd sense of humor. I love movies like Blazing Saddles & Caddy Shack. I'm a huge 3 Stooges fan. And I love British comedy like "The Vicar of Dibley."
Began Taekwondo at the age of 14 in 1982. Received my 1st Dan WTF in 1985 under Master Yun Kil Kim. It was during an odd time in the 1980's when it was actually the WTF that issued the certificates.
Received 2nd Dan under what I was told was an ITF school in 1988. It turned out that the ceritificate was not sanctioned by the ITF.
Opened Superkick Taekwondo under GM Edward Sell's US Chung Do Kwan Association in 2006. Received 3rd Dan (USCDKA) in March 2007 & 3rd Dan Kukkiwon in July 2009.
Yup, there are A LOT of things in between those years. Too many to go into.

TKD SCHOOL INFORMATION
Senior Instructor/owner Superkick Taekwondo Santa Clarita, CA
I used to train at a kickboxing gym run by Kevin "Superkick" McClinton. He gave me the ring name "The Iceman" after Jean Yves Theriault, the Canadian kickboxing legend. Kevin was diagnosed with a brain tumor at 38 years old. He died at 42 in 1999. I named my school Superkick TKD after him. The SK in my screen name stands for Superkick.
thank u tom i will do that. Its good to know that someone like you are making such a positive impact on other lives by giving back to the community because an individual like kevin had such a positive impact on yours. i will be in touch
yes u are correct. I think it was a great idea of u to keep kevins name alive by using superkick in your name. I just want to thank u for doing that because kevin was a unique individual.
my name is pete holland. I had my first state title as the lightweight kickboxing champion of illinois under kevin mcclinton under the K.I.C.K. organization as an amature. I started in 1977 and held the title in 1982 or 83. I kept in contact with kevin until his death on june 24 1999 in maywood
