- "I used to be in karate for an activity, you know just something to do, until I found
ChunJiDo and Master Cutrell. Through them I began to love and embrace martial arts as a
way of life. Master Cutrell has always been like a father to me, and I hope I can be half
the teacher he is when it is all said and done." - Kyle Lawton, 4th Degree Black Belt
- "I have trained in martial arts for about ten and a half years now. Being only 18 years
old, that is half of my life! Throughout those ten years, I have experienced many obstacles
and changes in all areas of my life, as all people do. However, the one constant throughout
the entire time has been martial arts. My training has helped me develop the mindset to
overcome any obstacle or challenge placed in my path and though I have sometimes had to step
back, maybe take a detour, or just forge ahead, martial arts has helped me to 'stay the path'
of life. More importantly, Evansville ChunJiDo Academies and head instructor Master Cutrell
have always been an open door for me. I can always go to class or talk to Master Cutrell when
I am faced with adversity and feel that maybe I can't go on. When I step into the dojo, I know
in my heart that everything will be all right. And now, although, I am physically separated by
over 250 miles due to my choice of college, I know that Master Cutrell, all of my fellow
black belts, and all the students of Evansville ChunJiDo Academies will always be there with
open arms to welcome me back to my home in the martial arts, because Evansville ChunJiDo
Academies is more than a dojo, I truly believe it is a home. Martial arts has done more than
develop my character...ChunJiDo IS my character." - Nathan Meredith, 4th Degree Black Belt
- "I came to Evansville ChunJiDo Academies 8 years ago, I was extremely shy and didn't know if
I could stick with this. But, Master Cutrell makes it impossible for you to quit. Somehow, he
seems to bring out the best in anyone that he teaches. He always tells us that each one of us
has our own gift, and that is important to know. He will never cut anyone down. He has a way of
telling you what you need to do, but constructively. I am glad that Evansville ChunJiDo Academies
was the first dojo that I walked into and joined because my life has been so blessed because of
it. ChunJiDo is in my blood and it will always be a part of me." - Michelle Lankford, 2nd Degree
Black Belt
- "When my children started taking classes at Evansville ChunJiDo Academies, I didn't anticipate
becoming a student there, as well. I was so impressed by Master Cutrell's training methods and by
the overall atmosphere of the school. When I began taking classes, it was like becoming part of a
family. ChunJiDo has helped me improve my physical strength, flexibility, endurance, and has made
me feel more peaceful and grounded. When I have a challenging day, I can count on Master Cutrell
and his wonderful instructors to help me focus, and by the time I leave class, I feel like my life
is back in balance. I can't imagine myself or my family going to any other dojo." - Jessi Wilkins
Parents
- "At Evansville Martial Arts, my children aren't just numbers. Master Cutrell makes everyone feel
like they belong and cares about students outside of the dojo. It's more like a family than just a
business." - Sabrina Straw, parent of two students
- "Master Cutrell encourages all students to be smart martial artists outside of the dojo. He
exemplifies a true martial artist. He teaches because it is his passion in life." - Tina G., parent
Fellow Martial Artists
- "Robert is truly an inspiration to the Martial Arts world. His dedication lies in the impressive
seminars he holds where he invites Grandmasters of all different styles of martial arts to come together.
Robert holds these events with only one purpose in mind, to portray all arts as belonging to one family
and to make this martial art family bigger, stronger, and better.
"At his school, in a comfortable training atmosphere, he openly shares his expert knowledge of the arts
with enormous enthusiasm. His skills, whether weaponless or not, are a treasure for every martial artist
to experience, no matter what their style.
"Robert is not only a great martial artist but a great father and a great friend. His is a true
inspiration both in the art and outside of it. Of course, all his accomplishments are realized with the
support and creativity of his talented wife, Nancy. Her organizational capabilities stand behind the great
success of the martial art events.
"My deepest thanks I give to my Kung Fu brother and sister, Robert and Nancy Cutrell, for their friendship
and their huge contribution to the martial arts community." - Grandmaster Dr. Werner Leuschner, Wing
Chun Grandmaster, Canada
- "Master Cutrell is a man who really understands what Martial Arts represents. He is a person who
believes in the Martial Arts spirit. He teaches his students to respect others and their arts.
"Martial Arts is also about doing the right thing and standing up for those who need help.
"Master Cutrell is a teacher, a Sifu, who lives by the principles he teaches.
"I have great respect for him and am glad to have him as a friend." - Sifu Christos Stamatiadis,
Kung Fu, Thassos, Greece
