Martial Arts 101
About
I want to tailor the experience of my students instead of applying a "one size fits all" approach of a McDojo. I want to pay special attention to an individuals' goals in learning new ways of moving
The sense of empowerment that a student gains is what fascinates me about the work. The moments of breakthrough and achievement are the most valuable to me
