In 1992 Kyo Sa Eliseo Martinez was one of the founding members of The San Pedro Boys and Girls Club Chang Moo Kwan Club. At 13, he and his younger brother Salvador Martinez (12) were eager teenager with a instant love for martial arts and training. Kyo Sa Martinez never missed class, always stayed after, and became a great aide to helping the younger and newer students with the basics. His patience and understanding of many of the "at risk youths" was invaluable to the development of the club. Quickly raising to black belt, he was able to test for his next level in front of the watchful eye of Supreme Grandmaster Nam Suk Lee, his son hack Lee, and Grandmaster Jon Wiedenman.
For the last several years he had been aside the South Bay, California head instructor Master David Johns helping him build up a few other Dojangs (Studios) in the area. Kyo Sa Martinez has recently relocated to Arizona where he plans to continue the spread of Chang Moo Kwan with another South Bay instructor Kyo Sa Cosmo Magaliozzi.
