THREE RIVERS MARTIAL ARTS ACADEMY
Established in 1975
Grand Master Larry E. Klahn and Master Pamela A. Mihm
Grand Master Klahn was truly a renaissance man. He left a legacy of honor, accomplishments, work ethic, deep knowledge of martial arts and tactical skills, genuine care and concern for his students and friends, generosity, and a heart of gold.
Master Pamela Mihm:
It had been my distinct privilege to be Master Klahn’s student for 35 years; I am not only proud to carry on his legacy, but feel a responsibility to continue sharing the knowledge & skills that people need to be safe. I’ve been teaching martial arts and the W.I.S.E. program for the last 25 years. I currently hold a 5th degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and a brown belt in Judo.
In November 2023, I became the owner of Three Rivers Martial Arts Academy. I’m very humbled and touched by the dedication, commitment, and the true display of the Tenets of Tae Kwon Do by the the team of black belts & students who have kept this school going in the months since Master Klahn passed away.
In March of 2022, a small contingency of black belts decided that we needed to try to continue, despite the heavy odds against us. We put in place a schedule of classes, worked extremely hard, and believed in ourselves. We do what we know, and we know that it works. We are pleased to be gaining our footing, and seeing the growth we believed in.
Stay tuned – photos and bios of our active instructors will be posted on our website soon.
TENETS OF TAE KWON DO:
Courtesy, Humility, Integrity, Perseverance, Self Control, Indomitable Spirit
