USA Hapkido
About
I have been practicing and teaching various martial arts for over 36 years. As a UCLA graduate, I take an educated approach to everything I do. Each technique that I teach will have a thorough explanation on proper technique and application. In addition, I put strong emphasis on being physical fit because good health is first line of self defense. I chose to specialize in Hapkido because it covers the full spectrum of self defense.
Martial Arts is one of the best confidence builder. I enjoy helping others to be strong, confident and live a full life.
I have excellent patience and am great with beginners. You can try for 2 weeks free at my school.
