About

I'm a 47 year old LI resident. Started working in law enforcement in 1999. My training in the martial arts started in 1987. I have trained in Shingitai Karate, Matsubayashi-Ryu (Shorin-Ryu) Karate, Koga-Ryu Ninjutsu, and Koryu Uchinadi Kenpo-jutsu into the black belt levels. Also having trained in various styles of jujutsu to increase my knowledge of grappling. In 1999 I started following the teachings Patrick McCarthy. I continue to study and train in various arts. To satisfy my curiosity about the human body and other eastern studies I studied to a personal trainer and massage therapist. In May 2000 I became a Certified Personal Fitness Trainer - Health Fitness Instructor (CPFT-HFI) through Hofstra University and the Academy of Applied Personal Training Education (APPTE). In December 2001 I completed the massage therapy program at The Swedish Institute and became a New York State Licensed Massage Therapist (NYSLMT) in 2002.
