If everyone is thinking the same thing, 
then someone isn't thinking

I am not a martial artist, I am a martial analyst. 

What I will do is make you sit down and think about what you know.  I teach people to understand what they are doing, not just do things out of habit. Because as often as not, unconscious, habitual movement isn't effective; it's wasted movement; lost time and leaves you exposed to injury. My goal is to get you to move and act effectively. Because effectiveness not only is the height of the martial arts, but what will keep you alive in a violent encounter.

I will also introduce you to the factors that you must consider before you even try to apply what you know in a self-defense situation. Issues such as legal considerations, "planning for success," social and moral issues about violence and adrenal stress factors that must be considered. And that --  more than any killer commando fighting system --  will save your butt if you ever need to use your training in a real situation.

Due to my wife's ill health I am not currently traveling out of state to teach. I will be returning to it come the Fall of 08.

What I am doing in the Denver area is Lunch Time Lectures on crime avoidance and personal safety
