I offer Martial Arts Programs for Children, Youth, Teens, and Adults.

Students are recommended to attend  two classes per week, however they may attend as many as four. There are never any additional costs for attending extra training sessions.

Students must be on time for class, be clean, and wear proper training attire. If a student is sick, I ask they restrict themselves from training until they are no longer contagious.

Students must follow the guidelines at Kaizen for proper behavior, attitude, focus, and effort. Laziness and disruptive behavior is not accepted. We are here to train (and have fun).

A student must know it is up to them to apply themselves, practice, and develop their skill. I can only guide, motivate, and train a student, it is up them whether or not they develop the skills I'm passing on.

Class structure varies heavily between Wildcats, Youth, and Adults, as does my expectations. While I enjoy having fun and joking with my students, they must always train with a serious mindset, not afraid to make mistakes, or to ask questions.

Why do we fall? So we learn to pick ourselves back up.

Training at Kaizen is not for everyone. Some people prefer competing in tournaments, earning a social status with their belts, and memorizing forms doing fancy kicks and poses. If those are your goals, then Kaizen is not the right studio for you.

Kaizen Martial Arts Programs focus on practical, effective, and realistic training methods. Students develop muscle memory, instinct, and situational awareness, with the ability to adapt, improvise, and overcome.

Here, we learn to fight and defend ourselves... period. Don't confuse "knowing how to fight", with "getting into fights". I don't teach my students to solve their problems with their fists... however, should the need arise for defensive action, they will have the fighting tools both physically and emotionally provided they have applied themselves to their fullest during training.

"We must be strong enough, to be gentle"

This is not a traditional martial arts studio. Students here will not waste their time memorizing countless forms with fancy poses, attend tournaments, or brag about their belts. Here, belt rank in youth classes is not about status or ego, it's about personal accomplishment and growth.

While my goal is to maintain a high energy, focused-yet-fun environment for children, my priority is to provide expert level instruction in modern day martial arts techniques and application.

This requires students to demonstrate focus, self-control, discipline, and apply their very best efforts in each and every class. This is a martial arts studio, not a babysitting service. Laziness, disruptive behavior, or lack of effort will result in the student being dismissed from class, or possibly even training all together.

While I love to joke and have fun with my students, we always maintain a disciplined environment focused on developing solid martial arts and self-defense skills.

It never gets easier... You just get better at it.

For adults training with me, this is not a club med where we socialize, break a sweat, and pretend to fight. If you're not willing to get hit, kicked, choked, thrown, or push yourself as hard as you can, then again, Kaizen is not the studio for you.

I will train anyone with the passion and ability to learn. While they don't need to be in prime physical condition, there must be a certain level of physical athleticism present to perform the basic skills being taught.

Class structure can vary heavily, from barely breaking a sweat, to intense, heart pounding, muscle burning drills. I'll train you in a wide variety of tactical combat skills, ranging from Striking, (some) kicking, Grappling, CQC, Stick, Knife, Open Hand, Submissions, Throws, Takedowns, and Multiple Opponents.

I take my training seriously, as does anyone training here. "Don't waste my time, and I guarantee... I WON'T WASTE YOURS!!!" Give all you have in every class. Focus, apply yourself, ask questions, don't give up, sweat hard, and stand back up when you fall. I will be there to help you rise up and succeed.

One Lifetime... One Encounter.
