TARA VAN DEUSEN
Tara has been training in the Martial Arts for 25 of her life’s 29 years and as a result has earned Black Belts in 3 different styles. At age 14 she was inducted into the National Black Belt League Hall of Fame in New York and as of 2004 she was a ten-time professional world champion. Her numerous Grand Champion victories in sparring come from all over the United States of America, Canada, Mexico, Australia and Europe. She was ranked as the number one female fighter in the US up until her first pregnancy.

Now the proud mother of two little girls, Tara balances her life as a mother with her life as a role model for us at the Power of One Self-Defense Institute. As a 4th degree Black Belt, she believes that success is within everybody’s reach if they believe in themselves and she drives that point home through her teachings.

Her goal in our program is to instill the same discipline and confidence that she herself gained as a student training in the Martial Arts. This goal is evident through the many men, women and children she has come in contact with over the years.
