ABOUT ME
Whit McClendon was born on Halloween in Freeport, Tx, well over a half-century ago. He grew up in Angleton, Texas, and was active in martial arts, track and field, and playing the clarinet in band. One year at Texas A & M proved that lacrosse was far more fun than electrical engineering, so he shifted career paths. Eventually, he earned a degree in Engineering Design Graphics from Brazosport College.
After working in the petrochemical field as a CAD drafter for many years, Whit finally achieved his life’s dream of becoming a full-time martial arts instructor. Trained in Mantis Kung Fu, Tai Chi, Krav Maga, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, he founded and runs Jade Mountain Martial Arts in Katy, Texas. In addition to writing and teaching martial arts, he plays lacrosse as often as possible, adores his fiancée, and loves playing with their three pugs.
