The Minton's have been teaching and managing Martial Arts Programs in Terre Haute, IN for the past 50 years. Chief Master Minton has taught 1,000's of students throughout the years in the Wabash Valley area. In some cases, he is now teaching third generations. He started with teaching Judo in the early 60's at the local YMCA and YWCA. He ran programs at both Y's into the 70's. Minton's first Academy started in 1970. The Academy was located at 16 South 8th Street (Terre Haute Judo-Karate-Aikido School) and was at that location for 10 years. It was a one room facility totaling 1,000 sq. ft. In 1980 he purchased a building at 820 Lafayette Avenue (Terre Haute Taekwondo Family Center) and was there for an additional 14 years. He continued to teach Judo, Taekwondo, and Aikido in this 3,000 sq. ft. facility. During these years Chief Master Minton also taught for the Vigo County School Corporation. In 1994 he retired from teaching with the School System and built the present 7,200 sq. ft. facility at 3051 South Third Place (behind Honey Creek Mall & in front of the Movie Theaters.)
