About
I provide the high quality and personalized instruction.
It does not matter if you are a beginner or a master martial artist, I have been doing this my whole life and I continue to enrich myself so that I can pass along better information and instruction to my clients.
I offer classes at your home/business or online (when distance is a factor) and I will tailor to your needs.
I do not teach for competition. I teach you to do what is needed to win real world situations: Gun, knife, bat, multiple attacker, grappling defense, etc.
If you want real self defense and focused training, contact me.
I also teach online via Skype and similar services.

I have been doing this since I was 6. I love the creativity aspect that martial arts provides and the benefits of good health.
What I love most of all ... seeing a client achieve their Black Belt and then higher ranks of Black Belt. I also love hearing about the success stories of those that would have been a victim.
Most people will not be attacked, the problem is you do not know if it will ever be YOU, a loved one, a good friend or simply somebody that needs help. Having proper training and good skills turns the tables to your advantage.

How did you get started teaching?
When I was 6 years of age, I was attacked by 6 kids in a new park. This event show me that the path to martial arts was the way to no longer be a victim.
Feeling that success and my instructor asking for me to help some children learn, when I was young, simply inspired me to help others achieve that level of confidence that I gained.
I love feeling that sensation of a client achiving and succeeding.
What types of students have you worked with?
Government, FBI, CIA, Secret Service, all branches of our military.
Children, Teenagers, Adults, Women, Men, business owners, business executives, movie stars, handicap, other martial artists from various disciplines, and just about every walk of life.
I also teach outside the United States of America. (Mexico, Canada, Malaysia, China, Vietnam, Jamaica, Haiti, and the Bahamas.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Watching 2 of my clients: the first one is a 6th Degree Black Belt from another discipline, the other had no martial arts experience ... they both earned their 1st Degree Black Belts June 2017. It was and always is a fantastic moment seeing them put on their "well earned" Black Belts, and it is just a great feeling that I continue to teach them and others, each and every week.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I would recommend not making a hasty decision. Search carefully for what you really want.
Interview them and check their track record.
Do not ask for a discount. You would like not your instructor to discount what they are teaching you. In other words, if you want a cheap instructor, get on groupon. If you want somebody that has put the time in and you want their knowledge, then pay them what they are worth. If you are worth more, then get paid what you are deserving of.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Make a list of short, medium, and long term goals. Have at least a semi-plan for what you want to aim for after your met your largest goal.
Everything you do needs purpose, without purpose you have no idea why you are doing anything.
