Dr. george petrotta is my hapkido instructor. he is a grand master in many forms of korean martial arts. dr. petrotta is in the DIRECT lineage { who taught whom; not who begat whom } of the founder and originator of hapkido in korea. therefore, so am i.
i have been studying under him since december of 2010. since then i have lost over 30 pounds even though the classes are not very strenuous. this has occured due to his inspiration and my great desire to please him because of his gentle way of command. i am over 50 years old and have numerous medical issues {who don't?}
The doctors told me that due to my injured lower spine my legs would never have the strength that they should. Dr. petrotta said that this is untrue and it is due to inactivity. I was quite skeptical. Today i have regained 90% of that lost strength and i have only been there 6 months. i can't wait till next year.
Dr. petrotta is not only my instructor, he is also my mentor and i am so proud to call he and his beautiful wife{miss avis} my friends. Dr. petrotta and i discuss life's great mysteries and Godly spirituality. His faith in our Savior and Redeemer is inspiring.
When i first began lessons he told me humbly that i did not have to call him "sir". My soul demands that i call him nothing but that.
He treats me with great dignity and respect though he is the one that has earned the dignity and respect. I count myself fortunate to be his student.– Craig
Question and answer
Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A. Be smart and check out all who make the claims that I make. It takes many years of training and actual experience to be a good teacher of the martial arts.
Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
A. Dr. Petrotta has 48 years experience in his chosen field of expertise. He has spent countless hours and dollars in securing knowledge to pass on to others.
Q. What do you like most about your job?
A. The fact that it isn't a JOB. I do this for the safety of our SC citizens. Interaction is on a personal and private level. If I can help one person protect themselves from abuse at home or away from home, I have done my duty.
God gave me the gift of being a good to excellent teacher and I am bound by my promise to God to help those who need help.
Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A. Can I teach them how to defend themselves?
Most definitely through scientific new ideas in self defense.
