About

I pride myself on focusing on the fundamentals of empty hand self defense or firearm training. I make sure the students are confident in the skills I teach them. Taking the time to make sure they feel good about what they learned before moving on to the next skill.

I enjoy watching people walk into training that are nervous, shy, and intimated in the beginning. Then leave their first class with pride and confidence that they can actually learn how to protect themselves and their loved ones. I enjoy this feeling with the empty hand self defense and the firearm training.

    Andrew gave an amazing self defense class for my daughters heading to college. His tips, maneuvers and techniques might just save then from the horrors that can unfortunately happen once our loved ones leave home. Highly recommended!!

    Andrew is great. I had trained for two months with him. He taught me practical self defense. I would have continued to train with him if not for my schedule conflict

    I thought about buying a hand gun when the pandemic started earlier 2020. Never had held a gun before and was looking for a beginner gun safety class in San Gabriel area. A friend of mine and I ended up taking  the firearms safety for beginner with Andrew in April 2020. He was knowledgeable and patient about all the questions any gun newbie may have. He even let us shot some of his guns towards the end. I had a great experience and would take an advance class when get a chance.

    It was perfect timing when I saw Andrews ad for the self defense. Since the first session, Andrew guided me and the class gently and firmly as he designed scenarios that often occur and end up in horrible outcomes, had I not been taught the handling technique to save myself from harm. He gave clear instructions and adjusted the amount of challenge timely to create the perfect balance of feeling safe and urgency of protecting myself. Andrew is the only one I trust to learn from on how to get out of dangerous situations.
