My Philosophy
I pride myself for being a forever student. I'm indebted to my many past Instructors for the knowledge that has been entrusted to me. My journey to be a well rounded Student has led me to VLA, in Weapons Training. As an Instructor, my philosophy is always the experience of the Student. I choose to focus on the Students' retention of knowledge over physical strength alone. I have valued my journey in the Martial Arts, and promise to pass that same sentiments onto my Students. I have constantly said that anyone can learn to punch and kick, but not anyone can retain the lessons, techniques, and wisdom that have been bestowed from their Instructors.
