I've been training under my Judan-sensei for several years now and I only have good things to say about him. He will show you not only how to fight and defend yourself with confidence, he will also go into the martial philosophy behind the way he teaches, as well as the wisdom, discipline, and spiritual aspects of learning martial arts. He has an encouraging way of teaching that motivates you to learn, and also shows you with constructive criticism what needs to be improved in your forms. He's a very kind man that also makes sure to connect with you while you are training together, so you feel at home training with him. He knows how to balance when to be serious but also is able to joke around with you and keep the mood lighthearted while you are training, all the while imparting in you words of wisdom and knowledge. You can trust that his method of teaching is amazing, because he has gone to learn the roots and origins of each style he teaches, and has developed an entire system of martial arts on his own that ensures you are an unpredictable fighter that can harmonize between thinking through the most effective route of ensuring safety while balancing the spirit of the fighter. He has been training in martial arts as young as 8 years old, and has traveled the world in search for grand masters to each him in the past what he can now teach you in the present. You won't regret having him as an instructor!

The best coach ever! I have been doing his kickboxing class for 7 straight years. His classes were always different, interesting, and so intensive. He is someone who pushes you to maximum limit. Simply, you will become addictive to his great classes.
