Introduction:
I am an experienced Martial Arts instructor, focusing primarily on
self-defense tactics and energy work. This combination provides students
with the skills needed to avoid dangerous situations and effectively ward
off attacks. I teach proven techniques derived from three different martial
arts forms, using skill over strength, and requiring no prior training.
Although the combative methods are highly stressed, the number one goal is
to change the student’s demeanor and attitude to ensure they are never
considered a target.
Long Term Goals:
I believe that providing this training is a benefit to society as a
whole. I actively promote the idea of moving Martial Arts away from its
current connection to capitalistic gains, and bring it back to its origins;
a method of creating a community of safety and integrity. I plan to
accomplish this by establishing non-profit clubs, managed by dedicated
educators, with a goal of providing these skills to anyone who has the
desire to learn.
Current Offerings:
I offer a variety of services to both groups and individuals. They
include:

Work History:
My experience in the martial arts is quite extensive, and diverse. I
have worked in this field for over 40 years, actively teaching for the last
30 years. A list of my more significant accomplishments follows:
![bullet](_themes/network/anetbul1.gif) |
Fifth Degree Black Belt / Master Level, Han Moo style of Tae Kwon Do
(Korean fighting art) |

Third Degree Brown Belt, Judo (traditional Japanese sport) |
![bullet](_themes/network/anetbul1.gif) |
Brown Belt, Aikido (effective Japanese self-defense art) |

Instructor-Level Training through Hewlett-Packard Co. |
I started studying Judo at the age of 12, and continued
training for over 10 years. Judo was a great starting point as it teaches
body mechanics, leverage, and basic self-defense principles. Five years
later, as I was exploring other art forms, I befriended an Aikido Master and
a group of us started the Lockheed Aikido Club. Aikido is an extremely
advanced form of self-defense, taught in a very "soft", non-aggressive,
style. Unlike most of the martial arts, Aikido techniques are totally
defensive and focus on simply redirecting an attacker's energy, eliminating
the threat. As a member of both the Judo and Aikido clubs, I was given the
opportunity to receive additional training under Professor Tamura, a Seventh
Degree Black Belt highly respected in the martial arts community.
After studying self-defense forms for many years, I started my training in
an offensive art, Tae Kwon Do. Although most forms of Tae Kwon Do are
currently taught as a sport, I was fortunate to work under Mr. Ui Jung Kim,
a Sixth Degree Black Belt who was still teaching the Han Moo fighting art,
and a small group of us started the Lockheed Tae Kwon Do club. After 40
years of training, I’ve taken on the legacy of keeping this form alive by
teaching at several clubs, managing a large group at Lockheed Martin, and
serving on the Board Of Directors of the Han Moo Kwan Tae Kwon Do
Association.
In addition to my experience in martial arts, my professional career at
Hewlett-Packard Co. has included several teaching positions. Required
training I attended to enhance my training/presentation skills included
courses on class-management, course-development, presentation, and
accelerated-learning techniques. I’ve taught classes in application
development, system management, and effective presentation techniques. I
have given lectures at technical conferences, demonstrated PC products for
the CEO of Hewlett-Packard and Safeway Corp., promoted new PC designs on
Swedish national television, and presented computer-graphics techniques to
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and His Highness Prince Phillip.
Outside of my position with the Han Moo Kwan
Association, I’ve been very successful teaching classes on the following
