Matthew Duchamp is the son of Gail Kaiser and Dan Duchamp.  Matthew was awarded his first degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do at age 10 and his second degree black belt at age 13; his first degree essay is here and his second degree essay here.  He served as an assistant instructor for two years starting at age 11 1/2, primarily with the 4-5 year old class. His other interests include various Web 2.0 activities that he imagines his mother doesn't know about, the War Hammer strategy board game, World of Warcraft and other video games, and stand-up comedy. His ipod headphones are permanently glued to his ears. Matthew is now a 9th grader at the local public high school's Academy of Science, where oddly his best subject is English.
