MASTER SHAHEED MUHAMMAD

School Master

Master Shaheed was introduced to Martial Arts at the age of seven by his father who holds a black belt.   He has continued the practice ever since.

At the age of 10, Master Shaheed began instruction under the Plainfield Pal Program and MMAJI at the   BUF (Black United Foundation)   in Plainfield, New Jersey.   With them, he won countless metals and competed in many tournaments.   He took home metals in the 1993 Jr. Olympic in Ohio, just to name one.

As an adult, he continued to teach and coach under belts in competitions around the state.   He teaches classes to schools and non-profit Programs in the Plainfield and Scotch Plains areas.   Today he   is a regular part of some of those schools and program curriculums.

Master Shaheed was inducted into the US Martial Arts Alliance Hall of Fame in 2007 for Olympic Tae Kwon Do and Mixed Martial Arts.   In 2008 he was officially   declared   an Alumni in that Hall of Fame.  

Master Shaheed trains regularly to maintain his Martial Arts skills in Traditional and Olympic Tae Kwon Do, Kung Fu, and Karate (Wazito Ryu).   He is always looking for a new challenge to put under his belt.   He has devoted his time into becoming a Martial Artist of today's time.
