ANDRE "DR. DRE" BERARD: Master Berard is a renowned and accomplished martial arts practitioner and competitor. He currently holds the ranking of Sixth Dan in Tae Kwon Do. He has
worked out and shared knowledge with many Martial Art Schools in the last 30 years and "joined the pack" in 2006 in order to add ground fighting skills to his already vast repertoire.
His athleticism and striking skills (particularly his kicking ability) are well know and respected in many martial arts circles and we are very proud and pleased that he chooses to share his talents with
our members.
KEVIN KRESGE: While he is the newest member of the Rat Pack staff, Kevin is far from a newcomer to the martial arts game. Rather, Master Kresge has trained in the art of Tae
Kwon Do since 1982, currently holds the ranking of Sixth Dan under Grand Master R.C. Nenow and prior to coming to Rat Pack was the chief testing instructor at Nenow's Dynasty Karate for many, many years.
Master Kresge also has expertise in traditional Tang Soo Do and NeChang Katas, Korean and Japanese style sparring, is proficient in Okinawan style weapons and, in more recent years, has expanded his
training to include the art of Kempo which he continues to train on a regular basis.
In addition to his involvement with the striking program here at Rat Pack, Master Kresge will be overseeing our newly added "Traditional Arts" program.
FORREST "THE WISE MAN" MEYER: Over the past 35 years Forrest has trained with several instructors and in various disciplines including Ishin Ryu, Tae Kwon Do, Kung Fu and American Boxing. Never-the-less, Forrest sees himself not as a "martial artist" but, rather as, simply, a fighter.
Further, as Life Skills and Vocational Education teacher for the past 18 years, Forrest knows well that people learn best when they are in a comfortable environment and surrounded by friends.
It is for these reasons that RPFS, with its "no-ego" policy, its multi-discipline approach to fight training and it family like environment was tailor made for Forrest and his unique training
programs.
