Chas really goes in-depth with some of the harder to understand concepts and explains them thoroughly. Enough to the point where even when I knew nothing about music theory I was still able to understand the concepts. A great teacher and very supportive mentor when I shared musical ideas that I had been developing with him.

Amine Belkhouche has been training martial arts with my father and I since he was a child, and I cannot say enough good things about him. He was always physically talented, but more importantly he has a wonderful disposition, and great attitude while training in a class as well as teaching his knowledge to others. More recently Amine, has become an instructor of Karate for the New Orleans Shotokan Academy, in which he teaches six kids classes per week. He is very innovative, and is able to bridge the knowledge of martial arts together with fun and exciting activities, in order to make training more interactive and fun. The skills he has acquired from his years as a professional soccer player, his passion for music, and his martial arts training, complement his training in GMB, in which he focuses on correct body movements that translate into any physical activity.
