Master Derrick Stinson is one of the amazing instructors lined up for the 2017 Youth ITC

Here is a short bio on Master Stinson:

Mr. Stinson, a KICKSTART KIDS alumni, has been a martial artist for over 25 years. He began his training in KSK at Central Middle School in Galveston, TX.
Mr. Stinson grew up in rough circumstances and was able to navigate and rise above these issues due to a strong mother. She wanted him to learn to protect himself and allowed him to enter the KSK program. Mr. Stinson did learn to protect himself, and also learned many lessons he still uses today. From middle school to college, Mr. Stinson has been able to continue his KSK involvement - as a student, instructor, and now the Assistant Regional Manager.
Mr. Stinson’s dedication to the KICKSTART KIDS mission has assisted him in producing many black belt students and positively impacting lives. With a wide range of accomplishments in the martial arts community, he holds dearest to his heart the following: Chuck Norris System Champion, 43 black belt students, 2005 UFAF Instructor of the Year, KICKSTART KIDS Demo Team coach and, above all, Teacher.

A favorite part of the ITC event is the Thursday night Pool Party & BBQ. In addition to food and swimming, participants enjoy a fun DJ with great music and dancing. The pool party is also sure to bring out our tricking enthusiasts. Beginner and advanced trickers enjoy entertaining spectators with their amazing skills.
