Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I first start with a review of what is the students motivation for training. Then I assess where the student is physically and find out their level of knowledge.
Next, I work at their level and work with them until they are comfortable and gradually increase the challenges.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a historian and practitioner of the martial arts and have over 45 years of experience learning from the very best.
I have been inducted into the martial arts Hall of Fame and was inducted into the Who's Who of Martial Arts in 2018.
