MEET Keith Elkins
Owner & Head Instructor at Keith Elkins Karate
Keith Elkins is the founder and head instructor of Keith Elkins Karate in Waldorf, MD. His journey into martial arts began with a deep fascination with the discipline and values portrayed in martial arts movies, particularly those featuring Bruce Lee. Growing up, Keith faced personal challenges, including the tragic loss of his brother to overdose and another brother's struggles with the prison system. These experiences fueled his determination to find a positive path and led him to the transformative world of martial arts.
In 1987, after years of dedicated training and personal growth, Keith opened his namesake martial arts school in Forestville, Maryland. His vision was to create a community-focused academy that not only teaches martial arts but also instills traditional values and modern methods. Over the years, Keith has become an accomplished martial artist, author, and consultant for an elementary school system with his program called The HERO Principle.
Keith's commitment to his students goes beyond the dojo. He emphasizes character development, accountability, and dedication in every aspect of training. His leadership and passion have made Keith Elkins Karate a respected institution known for crafting virtuous martial artists and community members. Keith's proudest accomplishment remains his family, especially his long-standing marriage of 42 years, which serves as a testament to his values of dedication and perseverance.
