David Howell

David Howell has two passions, intelligence and martial arts. He has studied and taught the skills of intelligence and learning ability for nearly 40 years. Likewise, he has studied and taught martial arts for the same time period. His passions were born out of his own struggles during his high school years when he was battling illness and a rough home life. Because he was ill he was seriously bullied. Because he was abused he performed poorly in school and was even told by one teacher that he was, "Too stupid to learn." Howell knows how to overcome these struggles and writes to share with others how to do the same. Just to prove his teachers wrong, Howell became a member of a high IQ society shortly after graduating. He knows IQ certainly isn't everything but it was evidence that he wasn't "stupid." He became obsessed with learning all he could about intelligence and learning ability. He then began decades of teaching others how to learn very fast, high-level problem solving ability, and how to use their intelligence at a very high level. To overcome the bullying he suffered Howell began his martial art training in the early 80s. His training helped him regain his health. He was a very successful martial art tournament competitor during the late 80s and early 90s to which he credits his speed and practical skills. He still trains and teaches and has retained his speed even at 60 years of age. This was all possible by learning to use the mind as it is designed to be used. Through his writing he wants to share with others how they can easily use their intelligence to succeed in any area of life. Howell takes a very analytical approach to both subjects. Conversely, he takes a plain-spoken, no-nonsense approach to teaching that is focused on maximum results. He shares his life with his wife, son (20), daughter (18), and a house full of retired racing greyhounds. Howell is an award winning public speaker. He has twice appeared in Tae Kwon Do Times Magazine: His article entitled, "Balance: The Foundation of Technique" appeared in the May 1996 issue. His latest article, "Speed: It's More Than Just Moving Fast" appeared in the the January 2019 issue.
