Master David Clements was born March 30, 1964 in Lynchburg, Va.  He graduated from Lynchburg Christian Academy in 1982 and attended Liberty University until joining the Air Force in 1983.  During his four years as a Security Policeman (Air Base Ground Defense), he traveled to many foreign and domestic places.  Finding a passion for the martial arts at the age of 15, he pursued his interest and further developed his skills while serving in the military, talking all styles or disciplines offered…sometimes 3 at a time.  He earned his first black belt soon after leaving the Air Force, and pursued black belts in other systems.
