About
Black Dragon Martial Arts is an affordable Traditional Mixed Martial Arts with the goal of helping students progress, not just take their money every month. BDMA incorporates skills from styles such as Ninjutsu, Tae Kwon Do, and Jiu-Jitsu. BDMA provides real-world self-defense skills in hand-to-hand combat as well as training with weapons.
My favorite part of teaching martial arts is helping students achieve their goals, and assisting them to do something they previously thought they couldn't. Students not only learn self-defense, but also respect, discipline, and confidence in themselves.
I have been training in martial arts for 17 years, and instructing for the last 7.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
New students receive one-on-one training to go over the basic skills for their first week. New students are then paired with other students to train with. All students, but more especially new students, are always watched to ensure safety and students learn proper form for each skill.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have trained in Black Dragon Martial Arts for 17 years, and have instructed for 7. I am a 3rd degree black belt in Nin Bu Kai (which is the style taught at Black Dragon) which incorporates skills from several styles.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Students pay a flat monthly rate which allows them to attend all classes and special events put on by Black Dragon Martial Arts. Discounts are available for students, teachers, Military, and first responders. BDMA also offers group rates for students who train with a friend or family member, both (or all) will receive a discount.
The standard rate for a month of training at BDMA is $40, and we do not require a contract (we do require a waiver). Students are able to stop training, and paying, at any point with one months notice.
Special pricing may be considered in certain circumstances for those unable to afford the normal monthly rate, which is at the discretion of the instructor.
How did you get started teaching?
My instructors encouraged me to start teaching. I assisted in teaching a class for about 2 years, then opened my own school, which I have ran for the last 5 years.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with all kinds of students. We offer classes for ages 8 and up. I have worked with kids, young adults, middle aged students, as well as seniors, all with different goals, some with learning disabilties.
All students train for different reasons. Some bring their child for respect, discipline, and exercise. Some students want to learn to defend themselves. Some want to get into shape. Others want a mixture of several.
Black Dragon Martial Arts is a self-defense art that teaches effective, real-world, hand-to-hand combat which is stressed and brought up several times. We do not train bullies, especially for younger students. BDMA reserves the right to refuse training to anyone who uses what they are taught to bully or intentionally hurt others.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Find the reason you want to train, and find a style that works for you. BDMA is not a fit for everyone, however we are unique to most styles in that our style molds to the individual where most styles require students to mold to the style.
The first step should be to ask yourself why you want to train in a martial arts class. Even if you do not pick to join BDMA, I may be able to help recommend another style that would be a good fit.
