personal fitness trainer for over five years, and brings a great deal of

needs as Martial Artists, and show them ways to make this information their 
own.

and has been in the Martial Arts since the early 80's.  He brings 
no-nonsense training methods to his students and helps them gain a better

a chance to review their performance and identify flaws and strengths in 
their movement.  This is a great chance to see just how well you're really 
doing.

insight into training in the Grappling Arts, and offers training methods to

regarding Martial Arts related injuries, Letha Yoga, Dhanda Yoga and other

their development.  He will work with students to help them understand the 
complex dynamics of Capoeira and how to progress their ability in this system.

Chinese, Filipino, African, Brazilian, and other Martial Arts traditions,
