The movie "The Perfect Weapon" changed instructor James Schmeidler's life.

That's because he decided to start studying martial arts after seeing the movie in 1993. Now a second degree black belt in American Kenpo Karate, James assists with classes throughout the week at PowerKenpo's Carrollton and Stonebriar locations.

"Kenpo is a very logical martial art. I've been taking lessons now for more than 15 years, and I love how easy it is to apply the concepts in a real world situation where you have to defend yourself."

— Instructor James Schmeidler

James's knowledge of martial arts comes in handy at his other job — as a Gainesville police officer, where he also teaches tactical self defense for the Citizen's Police Academy.

James lives in Whitesboro, TX with his wife and two children.
