How did you get started teaching?
I began teaching when a co-worker found out I had studied martial arts my entire life. When asked if I would teach him, I sought the approval of my teacher. From there, my school grew from fellow co-workers. After being frustrated with the banking industry, I took the chance to quite my job to start teaching full time. My full time school began in 1996.
What types of students have you worked with?
AMAI has students from all walks of life and start from all degrees of ability. We have students with special needs such as Down Syndrome, Autistic Spectrum Disorder, HDHD and ADD. We train the begineer with no experiance and we have trained other school owners who wish to expand their knowlegde in a new art form. We have trained students that have needed to lose 300lbs or more and we have trained professional athletes. The bottom line, anyome who has a need or desire to learn, we are here to help you reach your goals.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
The most important thing to look for in a school is a place you feel comfortable. The environment of the school and the vibe you get from being there will tell you rigjht away if the school is right for you.l If it doesn't feel right, it probably isnt't the right fit for you. Our trial programs are designed so you can "Check us out". Do you like the way we teach and the message we present?
