Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
We do a 30min intro class to see where the students are in their training and what should be focused on to help them grow and get better.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been training under my teacher Sensei Omar Gilani of Yamajiro Ninja Academy in Tyson's corner for over 3 years. I have also attending multiple seminars both locally and internationally to advance my training and knowledge.
Additionally, I was an Non-Commisioned Officer (NCO) in the US Army for over 5 years where i had to teach, mentor and train junior members of my team in their daily tasks. I take a similar yet more relaxed approach to my method of teaching.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Yes we have a Private lesson plan for students with limited time and specialized needs. We also offer a children's and adult program with classes; Saturdays and Sundays.
How did you get started teaching?
I started teaching with permission from my direct teacher and his teacher to open my own school. This was after showing a passion for teaching and was a natural progression after becoming an assistant instructor at my teacher's school.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have taught students from ages 4-60 some with weight concerns and special needs. I have also taught people with long term injuries that required special attention.
Note: We currently only accept students between the ages of 7-13 into our childrens program and 13-64 into our adult program.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
The last major event we had prior to the COVID pandemic of 2020 was our Black Belt Seminar for senior students in Florida where multiple students from across the East Coast go down for a weekend packed with training.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Do some research on what type of martial art you are looking for and talk to the teachers about your needs and goals to get the best program for you.
Also you should look to see what sort of culture they foster in their schools i.e. attend trial classes to see if it is what you are looking for. Also volunteer for techniques if possible to see how aggressive or controlled they are.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Why am I looking into martial arts? What am I looking to learn? What am i willing to pay? What skills do i want to gain through training? Am I willing to commit to 2-3 days a week of training? Am I willing to make martial arts part of my life?
I pose the questions in this fashion because it is important to know what you want before looking into schools as some McDojos may look to get you to signup immediately, for high tier (and expensive) plans and it may not fit into what you are looking for. Also martials can be a fun and challenging thing to get involved in at any age so it is important to make sure that your interest is not based in some "New Years Resolution" style mindset where your motivations and intentions may be more ego or societal driven then an actual personal desire to grow or get better.
