Self Defense Limalama Nokaoi
About
Instructing youngsters and adults in martial arts for over thirty years has been a great passion as a teacher in the arts. I work with the individual student in their goals and how they see themselves at the end of the lessons. How empowered they will be and the self confidence has grown in their personal life. I have instructed in kickboxing, self defense, martial arts, weapons and Tai Chi and have enjoyed all the arts. Teaching in the Army was my first time as an instructor in the U.S. and Thailand, I have instructed also at YMCA and LA Parks and Recreation and trained Professional Karate fighters for Limalama our martial arts system. In the last few years I have instructor private lessons and group lessons in the Valley and Ventura areas.
I have an eight degrees as a black belt a master in the arts in Limalama Nokaoi. I also have a Brown Belt in Kenpo in my early days of training. I can help anyone learn at their pace based on their ability, pyhsical condition and what they want to achive for themselves.
