My journey in Filipino Martial Arts
I have been a passionate martial artist since the age of 8. Now, that I am a half a century old, that passionate flame still burns brightly. There isn't a day that goes by when I am not thinking about martial arts. With over 35 years of learning and teaching, my journey has brought me to train with Masters and Grandmasters in Europe, Asia, Australia, and America.
A unique approach to teaching
The teaching style and method I employ are those passed down to me by the Grandmaster himself and the Master. Yes, I have a unique teaching style and method that I have formulated from training and teaching in Karate, Kickboxing, Kenpo Karate, Chinese Wushu / Tai Chi Qigong, and the Filipino Martial Art way.
Beyond techniques: instilling life lessons
The life lessons and values I teach are based on the teachings of the art and my own personal journey and experience. The Filipino Martial Arts (also known as Escrima, Arnis, and Kali) are the national sport of the Philippines, and we aim to promote this proven, effective art. It involves single and double stick, short stick, palm stick, single dagger, double dagger, stick and dagger, improvised weapons, and empty hand techniques.
"The instructor's dedication to teaching both the art and life lessons is truly inspiring. I've grown so much as a martial artist and a person."
