Years ago at whistlekick, we developed a mascot who was later named Master Hopkick. Our mascot has since graced coloring books and t-shirts, and has provided inspiration to martial artists and non-martial artists alike. For the first time, we publish the origins of this powerful character and all the lessons he has to offer.

This is part one of Master Hopkick's fascinating story, where we are introduced to a young boy named John. After observing martial arts for the first time while running an errand with his mother, John is immediately excited and curious, and he will stop at nothing to learn more. Follow our beloved main character as he overcomes obstacles and shows his perseverance time and again, working hard toward his goal to learn martial arts and become a positive and inspirational role model and leader.

This tale is great for reading to younger children, especially as a reward at the end of a martial arts class. The events of the story make for a great class discussion and learning opportunity. Our featured character takes us through many lessons that mirror the goals taught in martial arts: integrity, perseverance, hard work, discipline, and much more.

Whether you train in karate, taekwondo, kung fu, or another style of martial art, or even if you are just a fan of the martial arts, this fun, short story is sure to bring a smile to your face.

This Special Edition of The Origin of Master Hopkick: Beginnings (Series Book One) features:

Exclusive bonus chapter written for this edition
Unique photographs that helped inspire the locations and characters in the story
A one-of-a-kind lesson taught to the reader from Mr. Tung himself
Beautiful, limited-edition cover art designed for this special edition
A freewriting space for you to write your own letter - like John does throughout the story - to your instructor, a family member, a character in the story, or anyone else

COMING SOON: Look for Book Two in the series to release soon! We are also working on a Mat Chats Q & A Guide to aide in discussions around the story, as well as an Instructor's Edition which will incorporate The Origin of Master Hopkick: Beginnings and the Mat Chats Q & A Guide into one essential book!
