    Frequently asked questions

    My process for working with a student is to first find out what they are looking for in martial arts. Are you looking to really dedicate time to learning or are you looking to just be fit by doing cardio.

    My philosophy on teaching is Show, explain, experience and Coach.

    1st. I will show you by demonstrating. 

    2nd. I explain to you the meaning of the form or discipline. 

    3rd. You will then experience the the form or technique by application.

    4th. I will then Coach you while you are doing the form or technique by correcting what needs to be corrected. 

    I have been teaching Shotokan, Aikido and Jujitsu for over 25 years. I received my 5th Degree (Shihan) in March of 2018. I believe that with time, communication, repetition and a open mind we all can learn.

    I is usually free for the 1st three classes. One time classes are $25 a session because clients may not continue the program because of financial restraints.

    Monthly I charge $120.00 classes are three days a week. Tues and Fri 6pm to 8pm and Sat 9am to 11am

    I started teaching martial art at our Dojo in Clinton Hills Brooklyn in the late 80's. My Sensei Michael "Bouncy" Bailey use to prep us by allowing us to teach the class once a week. I was green belt at the time and my class mates and I enjoyed playing Sensei for the day.

    I am now currently working with students from ages 6 to 48 year of age.

    I am fond of the fact that my students have to produce their report cards after every semester. I like them knowing that martial arts is more than just a physical discipline. My Sensei did the same to me growing up and is greatly appreciated by my family to this very day. Also I loved the fact that he had a family of his own but we were his extended family. 

    1st, be open minded, do your research about the teacher and Art. Also understand that you cannot be a black belt in a day. Be careful when teachers promote students for money and not on merit. 

    Each Karate System focuses on key techniques and disciplines. Shotokan is hard and fluid. Jujitsu deals with locks and grabs. Aikido throws and misdirection. You should first know what you are looking to study and ask your Sensei to itemize the basic qualifications on obtaining each belt or degree.
