About
My service stands out because I am not your normal martial artist. I have studied with the Greats throughout the years. Grandmaster Carlito Lañada, Grand Master Conrad Manaois, Pendekar Paul DeThours, Professor Dan Lee, Richard Bustillo, Danny Inosanto, John Lacoste, and many others. I will teach you how to defend yourself as you understand the how and why. The science of martial movement! From Eskrima, JKD, Wing Chun, Kung fu, Silat, and a host of others. I have 46 yrs experience teaching Women, Men, Children, and handicapped individuals. You learn as fast as you can go. I have taught Police, Highway Patrol, Sheriff, club security, and worked with the IDF from Israel. Are you ready to learn? But know this, be serious! Do you really want to learn or are you surfing for fun. Only the serious need inquire.
I enjoy teaching and seeing people realize their own potential. There is no greater joy the seeing a person understand what you are showing. Thanks

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Careful who you talk to. Some, not all, will tell you that their style is the best style you can do. The best style is YOUR style and anyone teaching needs to adjust to you, and not the other way around.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Ask them if you have to learn tradition or if you can go at as fast as you can learn?
