About
At the moment I only travel to the students to teach. All of the equipment needed for training will be provided but we will discuss equipment and gear that you might want to puchase for the future. As long as we have some space to work with that is all you will need.
I have been living and training at my father's Dojo since birth and durring that time I have came accross many poeple from students that train a few time a week to students that lived and trained with us to become fighter/instructors. It is my passion now to learn and teach and to ultimatly open my own academy. The thought of meeting new people one person at a time and helping them with their journey in martial arts is my dream come true.

For the past 4 years I have been training with top class coaches in Jiujitsu, Boxing and Kickboxing.
I am also in the Elevation Fight Team which is home to many top ranked fighters in the UFC.
How did you get started teaching?
Growing up my father ran the classes in a way where senior students learn to lead. Going through the system I started to get more and more comfortable leading and teaching. By the time I was 18 I began teaching both kids and adult classes.
What types of students have you worked with?
I was raised in a martial arts family and have been very fortunate be in a environment where I got to work with many people children to adults all ages and sizes even with physical or mental conditions. It does not matter what it is together we can find what you can do and help you improve and have fun. I have also traveled to compete and to teach people around the world. Japan, Italy, Peru and around the US.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
If you have never been inside of a martial arts school I know that it can be very intimidating. We are all family and what we do can hurt people but that is the last thing we want to do to eachother. Respecting eachother keeping a open mind and enjoying the prosses of learning the art.
