Victor West

Victor West (1965-Present) is married with children, a Retired United States Air Force Veteran, and a minister. He is also the head martial arts instructor and owner of Temple Talents, LLC. He earned a B.A.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies from Dallas Baptist University and is taking baby steps towards earning a doctorate someday.

"Contend!-What are YOU fighting for?" is his very first book. Fun fact: Victor is the illustrator. He intends to write other books in the future.

Victor enjoys the martial arts, creating visual arts, and playing drums; he likes to use his gifts and talents for ministry. Victor has been involved in studying and teaching various styles of martial arts for nearly 40 years. In 1999, he was blessed to receive a Black Belt in Chinese Butou Tai Kyo Kuken (a form of Tai Chi Chuan) while serving with the USAF in Okinawa, Japan. In 2010, he and his wife created two original African styles of martial arts called Osebo and Chayah Agon.
