I have been involved in the martial arts for 30 years. I hold a 4th Dan Black Belt in Taekwondo. Between 2002 - 2021, I operated my own studio in Rochelle Park, New Jersey. Now that I am located Texas, I am offering my services as a personal self-defense training for individuals, families and small groups. I am also offer seminars for businesses, schools, churches and other organizations.

In January of 2019 I became a Certified COBRA Instructor  by completing the mandatory 20-Hour Certification Course and passed all required tests

My favorite client story

One of my students started training with me to prepare for Marine Corps Basic Training. I was the second person he called the day he graduated from Basic Training. His mom being the first person he called of course!

My favorite quote

"You can't tap out in real life."
- Chris Sutton (founder of COBRA Self-Defense)

My training philosophy

All COBRA Courses start with an Orientation. During Orientation, students learn:
- How COBRA was developed from law enforcement
- Why self-defense is an important life skill
- Martial arts vs. "real" self-defense
- The three part formula every "bad guy" uses
- How a "bad guy" chooses a victim/target

Fundamentals are the essence of the first few sessions of Muay Thai/Kickboxing. Proper stances and technique are stressed to establish good habits and prevent any injuries that are caused by improper technique. Students will also learn how to properly use their training gear.
