Introduction: I have been told by adult students and by the parents of students that my approach to training is unique. The fitness portion of martial arts training can be fun and rewarding but the self defense portion is the key. My approach is through an understanding of why people are seen as victims and changing their mentality through technique training which in turn builds confidence and changes your spirit. Seeing the progression of students over the years. How far they have come from the beginning.

Mark is a wonderful martial arts teacher. Mark has somehow found the perfect balance of kindness and toughness that reinforces the need for structure and respect, but in a way that lets his students know how much he cares about them. Mark is patient and accepting of everyone's unique challenges and works to bring out the best in his students. I've learned so much from Mark's teaching, with lessons that have served me well both in the Dojo, and in life.

FAQs

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
We have black belt training twice monthly where we are taught by Masters and Grand Masters of my style. We learn new things and concepts to expand our knowledge.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was asked to teach classes prior to getting my black belt and have continued ever since.
Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
I have been working with a teenager who has Down Syndrome. While he was rejected at most schools, CMA took him in (as we do with most) and I have worked with him to the point where he is ready to earn his second belt and can work with other instructors and independently as well. He has a great support system and I am glad to be part of the system.
