About
I am a personal trainer and martial artist with over a decade of experience. I have a black belt in Kenpo karate as well as years of practice in other arts (Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Judo, boxing, and kickboxing). I have had the joy of teaching both kids and adults martial arts.
I love seeing students improve their skills and confidence as well as strength/conditioning.

I have over a decade of martial arts experience and I have cross-trained in many styles. I am also a certified personal trainer, sports performance specialist, and nutrition coach.

I typically charge $75 per hour but this may vary if I have to drive a long distance to get to my student.

Everyone's learning and teaching styles are unique. I recommend taking a trial class from anyone you are interested in learning from to make sure they are a good fit before signing up for multiple sessions.
