“What I bring to you are not stories and katas that have been past down to me by great, great grandmasters. Nor unproven techniques past down from teacher to student in an air conditioned, well matted and comfortable dojo where the danger & threat level is zero. What I bring is true world life experiences learned while living and working overseas in third world countries where the threat is real and your life holds as much value as the pair of shoes your wearing.  I teach only what has worked for me, my techniques are based on simplicity not complexity and beauty, they are meant for you to get the job done as quickly and efficiently as possible.”
