Our Instructor Team

A martial art school is only as good as the instructors who teach there.  We understand this and that is why we focus so heavily on having Quality Instructors.  We don't just hire any black belt off the street.  Our instructors are home-grown and they have gone through the same training that each student goes through.  There is no room for hypocritical instructors in our program.  Only those that lead by example.

Our school has a strict Instructor Training Program that has been implemented for several years.  This program ensures that each instructor will be knowledgeable, skillful, and good at communicating.  You can be sure that you are receiving high quality instruction at our school.
