Lorne's story
Master Lorne Davidson has been helping, encouraging, strengthening and supporting the students, families and community of White Rock/South Surrey, BC, for over 20 years.
With the vision to create a family friendly training environment for the community, and the purpose of creating a martial arts academy that focuses on “creating a positive, life altering option for students, families and community,” he opened the Seung-ri Black Belt Academy in White Rock, BC, in 2002.
Master Davidson’s academy creates a family-orientated training environment in which students have the space to develop focus and discipline as well as gaining an understanding and responsibility for their own personal safety (physical, mental, emotional and nutritional.)
Lorne is a 6th degree black belt in Songahm Taekwondo and is a 3-time ATA Martial Arts World Champion. He is continually learning and developing his personal and business knowledge in support of this purpose, becoming a North American Sports Medicine (NASM) Certi ed Personal Trainer in 2016 at the age of 69 to better serve the students.
In 2018 Lorne published his first book – his inspiring memoir – Mastership: The Journey from Bankruptcy to a New Life.
Lorne is currently developing a self-renewal weekend retreat and is available for inspirational speaking presentations.
