About Me
I studied American Kenpo under David Devault, in 1985-1989. Since then I've studied Shorin-Ryu, Combat Sambo, some Systema, Muay Thai and Kali, and just completed my Level 1 Pit certification under Grandmaster John Hackleman. For Modern Combatives, I've heavily researched and trained using the teaching of Cestari, Applegate, Fairburn, Vunak, as well as Modern Military Combatives. I even trained with a guy who did 20 years in prison just to learn prison fighting methodologies.
I've learned not to be dogmatic and therefore closed minded when it comes to Martial Arts. Over the last 24 years of training (if you want to include wrestling in school, even longer than that) my obsession has been Effectiveness.
Here are my guiding principles for the Martial Arts.
1. If it doesn't work on the street and under pressure, don't do it.
2. We are all different, so what works for me may not work for another, so you will learn several ways to accomplish the same goal.
3. I can't be there to fight for you, so I'm not going to force you to fight exactly how I do.
4. Eventually you must adapt your Martial Art to you, not you to the Martial Art you study.
I'm a full fledged Martial Arts enthusiast. I do embrace the goals of Traditional Arts such as Self Improvement, respect, etc..
What I teach
