Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
This is dependent upon the student's experience level in martial arts. I'm experienced working with people with 0 experience to those who earn a living through martial arts. I suit my instruction and workout to the ability of the client. That said, the vast majority of my students are beginners, and together we discuss the student's goals, then set down the path toward achieving them.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been involved in martial arts for 6+ years. I've got 25 fights in Muay Thai, kickboxing, boxing, and MMA. Additionally, I hold a master's degree and am equipped to treat everyone professionally and with respect.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I recently had lunch with a student to celebrate 1 year of training together. This student decided a year ago to make some life changes that started with health and fitness. As we got the ball rolling, other things in his life began to change, and as the year went on, his health improved, he decided to start his own business, and he's got a baby on the way! In a very short time frame, I witnessed this student transform going from being unhappy to motivated to within a year's time becoming his own boss and taking control of his fate.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Ask lots of questions and do some research on the teacher's background.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Have a clear understanding of their goals. Do they want to be able to defend themselves? Or are they more interested in the strength and conditioning aspects of boxing and martial arts training? What in them is driving the pursuit of studying boxing and martial arts?
