Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
The key to reaching goals is communication. For this reason I like to be very thorough in understanding what my students want to obtain from our sessions. We will go over many self defense techniques as well as sport Jiu jitsu. Martial arts is a great way to stay active, healthy, get fit, and great for self confidence
How did you get started teaching?
I've been training wrestling/Jiu jitsu for almost 20 years now. Teaching was just a natural progression for me
What types of students have you worked with?
Being at a news gym has really put me on the map with instruction. I've gotten to work with children as young as 3 as well as grown men and women up to 70! An incredible experience to say the least.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Just recently I competed in the RISE invitational in westbury, Long Island. I was able to secure the victory via rear naked choke. Very fun night
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Do your research, look to see where they train/teach. There are a lot of hokie schools out there not producing quality lesson plans
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Be realistic about your goals. Nobody is going to become a world champion in a day. Understand that time, effort, and commitment are the keys to success, no matter what your goal is in this sport
