About
Traditional Japanese Martial Arts
I lived in Japan for 3 years and studied the Japanese language, culture, and history.
I received all my rank and teaching certificates directly from Grand Master Massaki Hatsumi in Japan.
I transmit the teachings of my teacher as they were transmitted directly to me.
I have created a private community of dedicated students who wish to preserve Japanese Martial Arts.
I am honored and privelaged to be able to share the Japanese martial arts with those who are interested in learning them.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
There are a lot of teachers out there, some of which are not credible. It is my advise for anyone seeking to learn Authentic Martial Arts to ask questions and do some research on the dojo and teacher you wish to study with. I am very passionate about the Martial Arts, and at my dojo everything I teach and everything my students experience is authentic martial arts as taught in Japan.
