I am teaching my next womens self defense class in Cromwell CT this Saturday. Teaching this class is always rewarding and fun. There are always good questions, a desire to learn, and high energy. Some women take several classes while others join a martial arts program afterward. I love seeing...

Jesus came to us at a time in history when there was no technology for communicating with others as we have today: there were no phones, no printing presses, no radios, no television, no internet. Jesus came to us at a time in history when there were no trains, planes, or automobiles. If you...
I will be teaching a kubotan class here Nov 23. I teach this about once per year and I love the range of students that I get for this: college students, moms, kids, and martial artists. The class covers basic strikes as well as some pain compliance techniques. This is always a fun class!
