True Force International Fighting Arts Association

(Harlingen)

My name is Joseph Rodriguez and I represent the True Force International Fighting Arts Association.

We are a mixture of martial arts schools both in the United States and in Europe.

Founded by Sabumnim Michael Hornsby in 2000, our goal is to provide the full spectrum of martial arts to those involved or looking to start. Because all styles are welcome, all styles are represented.

Tae Kwon Do, Tang Soo Do, Karate, Kung Fu, Kajukenbo, etc...all have a home within this organization. We do not discriminate due to style or Tao.

Our primary school is located in San Antonio, TX under the direction of Sabumnim Hornsby. More information can be found here.

I myself am a 1st degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do working on my 2nd degree under Master Hornsby. I am also a 1st degree black belt in Shorin Ryu karate and Okinawan Kenjutsu.

Under United Martial Arts affiliation, I have been a 2004 state champion in weapons (samurai sword) and specialty weapons with a runner up in sparring.

I have been involved with the sport since 1994 following a knee injury due to football. I have been active in the tournament circuit since 1999.
