Irvin Self Defense And Fitness
About
30 years of training, 10 years of coaching, Black belt in Teakwondo and Brazilian Jiiu Jitsu. I utilize a system of teaching that is uniquely specialized for each individual student. Fitness, competition, practical self defense, skill level and physical functionality all taken into account for to reach your personal goals.
The single greatest aspect of what I do is getting to see the "ah ha" moments when a student works diligently to understand a particular concept or technique, then, in an instant, everything clicks.
