He's very good at what he teaches. Very well networked with others across the US and internationally, so you can trust that you will receive the very best training for the type of world that we live in today. Unlike some I have met in the martial training industry, he neither makes you feel inferior or treats you like a child, things that I have experienced with others. Not content with what he's already learned, he's always seeking out and open to what others are teaching, adapting that to his own teaching style where compatible. His web site is chocked full of insightful knowledge and has some audio interviews from martial art masters across the spectrum of arts taught and practiced. Obviously, only you can decide how compatible you feel with any instructor, but he does his best as I have noted, to make you feel comfortable with his instructional style along with understanding your individual training needs and abilities. Don't just take my word for it, contact him to check it out. I don't think you'll be at all disappointed in what you can learn and achieve.

Could not ask for a better instructor. Extremely patient and very knowledgable. Can clear explain techniques and illustrate the reasoning why they are performed the way they are.

I reviewed a martial arts book by Guru Schwarz. It's very rare when you meet a man with his insight into the martial arts and has the ability to transfer that knowledge in a comfortable, step-by-step manner which allows both beginner and advanced martial artist the opportunity to gain in both knowledge and technique.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I'm flexible with clients. It really depends on how many hours per week they want to train.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Initially I'll interview them in order to find out what their personal fitness & self defense goals may be. Find out if there are any physical limitations or previous injuries I need to be aware of.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have 40 years off martial arts instructor & physical fitness coaching experience.
