What types of students have you worked with?
We have instructed all types of students. We teach youth, adults, troubled youth with a host of issues and or conditions. We reach every student where there are and bring them gradually to the desired result.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
We recently demonstrated at a back to school event at River Oaks mall. It was very exciting!
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I would advise anyone looking for self defense training to sit down with the instructor and have a heart to heart conversation. Ask him/her everything you can think of and get a picture of who they are. Then you must actually experience their class then you are in a better position to make an educated choice.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
A student should know whether or not they desire to learn how to fight (defend themselves) or learn the martial art system taught by the instructor. Prospective students should ask whether or not traditional values are taught in the school. Lastly, all schools and instructors are not equal, so the desired result may not be possible with joining a school based mostly by the tuition rate being low or high. A dojo should be clean, orderly, systematic wherein respect & discipline are paramount.
