Kinesiology, Health and Nutrition Instructor

Robert Fulbright has spent nearly his entire life pursuing and teaching physical fitness. “I have been physically active since I could walk,” he says.  “At age 16 I received my first black belt from Chuck Norris.”

Robert, now a sixth degree black-belt, is the 1988 World Karate Champion and was on the 1992 Olympic Tae Kwon Do team.  He holds a master’s degree in kinesiology/exercise physiology from Cal State University, Northridge and a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology from CSU Northridge.  Robert also attended West Point Military Academy, where he competed on the wrestling team.

Before teaching at MiraCosta College, Robert was a professor in the kinesiology departments at California State University, Northridge and most recently San Diego Miramar College where he taught a variety of theory and activity classes.  He also has experience coaching soccer at the collegiate level and creating new curriculum and certification programs. 

Besides teaching a variety of kinesiology, health and nutrition courses at MiraCosta, Fulbright is also overseeing MiraCosta’s new Personal Fitness Trainer Certification Program and plans to bring more martial arts classes to the campus.
