Tim Moynihan can now add more credentials to his already impressive list of martial arts achievements.

After a recent trip to Tampa, Florida, the owner of Moynihan Family Martial Arts was invited to take part in a board overseeing an international black belt grading.  

Moynihan is the Canadian director of International Ronin Martial Arts Federation, an organization that includes all the main schools of Karate, Ju Jitsu, Tae Kwon Do, Judo, Kung-Fu, Tai-Chi and Qigong, Krav Maga and others. The Ronin Schools are located in 26 Countries world wide.

It was during this visit that Hanshi Carlos Montalvo, on behalf of all members and the board of directors, welcomed Sensei Moynihan into the “Ronin Red Belt Society,”  an  honour usually bestowed upon very high ranking black belts who are personally chosen by the CEO and board.

Moynihan said he was honoured to become part of the elite group dedicated to the development of programs.
