Former World Champion and Grand Master Jeff Smith, millionaire business owner, is a 10th Degree Black Belt Master in Tae Kwon Do, who has devoted over 40 years to the martial arts. He currently has two karate centers in Northern Virginia and travels worldwide officiating at tournaments, teaching and conducting seminars. He is one of the most successful examples of translating the same core beliefs, behaviors and habits it takes to become a world class competitor into world of business.

He is perhaps best known as the seven-time “World Light Heavy Weight Karate Champion.” His title defense against Don King’s heavy weight fighter Kareem Allah was seen by over fifty million viewers as a preview before the Ali vs. Frazier World Boxing Title Fight, known as the “Thrilla in Manila.”

He was coach of the World Champion United States Karate Team and the Junior National Team. He is a member of the Black Belt Hall of Fame, the first recipient of the Bruce Lee Award (selected by Mrs. Bruce Lee and Karate Magazine) and listed in the Who’s Who of Martial Arts. Jeff is one of karate’s legends along with Chuck Norris, Bruce Lee, Joe Lewis and Bill Wallace.

Grand Master Smith is President of World Champion Jeff Smith Karate, and the Chief Operating Officer for the Mile High Karate franchise organization.

He has performed at the White House in the “Kick Drugs Out of Your Life” campaign, and again for Arnold Schwarzenegger on the White House lawn with his students for the Great American Workout and the President’s Council on Physical Fitness. In addition, he conducts seminars both nationally and internationally for other karate schools and karate tournaments. Smith officiates at major karate tournaments, coaches teams in international competition, and has done color commentary for karate events on national television, including ESPN and Pay per View events. He is a key figure in the Martial Arts Wealth Mastery educational system for martial arts school owners to help raise the professional standards in the martial arts industry and leading martial arts school owners to develop million-dollar schools.
