About
The combination of my Martial Arts, my Master's Degree in Ed., the experience of working with over 500,000 students in 27 States and my working with groups of 20 up to 250 at 700 different companies, universities and agencies - Have helped me create a system that is practical and fine-tuned for anyone to benefit from and enjoy the private training sessions.
I enjoy the look in someone's eyes when they really "get it" and they evolve into a person who feels they are now "Worth Fighting For." A child to an older adult, to a mother or seasoned professional - Learning how to Prevent, Avoid and Stop an Act of Violence is a life-changing experience.

This course is extremely informative and useful. Although I am female, and this course is most helpful to females, it is also full of tips, tricks and strategies men can use as well. The physical portion is easily adapted to the learners abilities, existing skill and knowledge level and does not require strength or previous martial arts experience. The moves are easy for anyone to learn and to utilize regardless of size or strength or skill level. Sensei is very good at teaching this information and very good at identifying strengths and weaknesses and helping the student overcome the weaknesses to better deliver the selfdefense moves. I have had previous martial arts instruction and feel that this instructor is very suited to that role and also very knowledgeable about the subject matter. I highly recommend this course and this instructor

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Do my best to customize my Private Training for New Students. Always ask a few questions first: What type of training they're seeking? Do they want a One-Time format (or) a Package of 2, 4, 8 Private Lessons? 1 or 2 hrs each? Train solo or with another person(s)? Once I have some details - I can sculpt & design a program for them and work together on their goals.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Texts, Emails and/or Phone Calls to give personal info and describe the strategies and techniques I will share. My Private Training Fees are confirmed and handled. Next, we choose a calendar date & time for the 1st Lessons.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Have made it a life-long task to keep studying and keeping up with new ideas, techniques and strategies from other experts around the USA. As a 7th Degree Black Belt, I still feel like a novice which keeps me searching for more that I can share with future students.
