Martial Science Technology: Self-Defense
About
I'm a Hall of Fame Instructor that has trained in the Martial Arts for almost 38 years. I have taught for almost 27 years. I'm a 2 Time CKL Champion that has developed Champions and Black Belts. I started my training in October 1979 at the age of 9. Every student goes at their own pace. We focus on the fundamentals because those are the building blocks to help every student develop ability. Everything is done on a gradient gradual basis.
I enjoy and love seeing my students grow, gain confidence, and achieve their goals. This is the most satisfying aspect of teaching.

How did you get started teaching?
It was my Instructor's philosophy to allow his students to teach occssionally as they went up the ranks. This is what I did. When I received my Black Belt, I taught for my Instructor on ocassion before I began teaching Professionally.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with students of different personalities, nationalities, abilities, and challenges. The ages I have trained ranged from 3 years to 80 years.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I had 3 of my students from my children's class that just took their belt test on Saturday. Miguel Galvez passed his Blue Belt test, Emir Castillo passed his Purple Belt test, and Jordan Garcia passed his Yellow Belt test. They all did very well!

the Martial Arts?
