Kenneth A. Smith

Kenneth A. Smith is retired from the University of Akron in northeastern Ohio. He has been the Faculty Adviser and Instructor for the Sun Dragon Martial Arts Club on campus (fall semester of 1990 until spring of 1997), and has taught classes in meditation, metaphysics, Mysticism, martial arts and self-defense, both at the university and elsewhere.

He has spent most of his life as a student and practitioner of the martial arts and various mystical disciplines of the world, but has specialized in only one particular martial art. He has been actively involved in Tai-Yang Lung Tao (The Way of the Sun Dragon) since 1975, when he began training with Sul Sei Kan, a direct descendant of the first student of the art's founder, Fong Su-Yi. Ken has taught this art to a wide variety of people (high school and college students, academic teachers and professors, senior citizens, corporate executives, store clerks, laborers, small business owners, homemakers, martial arts and self-defense instructors, private security officers and public law enforcement officials) since 1981.
