I teach simple and effective self-defense techniques taken from various martial arts and fighting styles I've studied - including: Krav Maga, Kenpo Karate, Hapkido, Kali/Escrima, and general Combatives.
My approach to teaching self-defense is based on my belief that it's important to focus on what the student wants to learn, the student's background and prior training, strengths, and any physical limitations. Using all of that information I can then provide the student with the self-defense techniques and concepts that I feel will be most effective for him or her.
I currently teach private lessons at my home gym in Lincolnshire, Illinois, as well as occasionally teaching group lessons in Elk Grove Village. I am also available to travel to other locations for presentations, seminars, trainings and instruction for groups, organizations and companies of all sizes.
My lessons and presentations are prepared with a focus on what the student wants to learn (rather than just teaching a single martial art style), such as: defending against unarmed attacks, weapons-based attacks, learning how to use a knife, club, cane or improvised weapon to defend and attack, or even something as simple as learning basic releases from common grabs and holds.
It is very fulfilling showing people that they have the ability to defend themselves.
Quite often I find many new students o believe that they have to be stronger or faster than an attacker to prevail. However, with a few demonstrations I can quickly show them that regardless of their strength, age, or lack of formal training, they only need to learn a few simple concepts and techniques to be prepared to defend themselves.
I offer discounts to law enforcement, military and first responders.
