Defending Against The Blade
The knife is a weapon that is always available. Analyzing the common knife attacks and defenses will be an integral part of this clinic. Teaching knife flow, energy sensitivity against the most common attacks and knife fighting will help you prepare for the street encounter.
am the co-owner of Quest Martial Arts, as well as the head instructor of the school. I am currently a 5th Dan in Tang Soo Do, a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and a certified F.A.S.T. defense instructor.
My roles at the school include: teaching, staff training, calendar and event planning, curriculum design, demonstration and tournament team, and tuition/membership services. However, my favorite place to be is on the mat teaching. I enjoy giving private lessons to help people reach many of their own personal goals. I am also available for teaching group classes on women’s self defense. This is a necessary education, especially for all teen aged girls.
I believe teaching is an interactive experience between the teacher and the student. At our best we use the teacher/student relationship to create a synergistic approach to understanding Tang Soo Do more deeply and personally.
I believe that the training we receive in the Dojang is intended to transform our understanding of who we are now, and who we would like to be. It also helps us deal with life’s challenges in new ways as well as helping us to enjoy life more completely.
