All this means nothing if you don't know me, come see me.  I still train hard and my studies and teachings are influenced by many people through out the martial arts community.  The ones listed in my Dan Ranking are my fathers who have given me strength and guidance even when I didn't want it or liked it, but I have much respect and love for, that's what fathers do.

There are others who have influenced me as well over the years through my instructors.  I was pushed towards and have sought instruction from top trainers and fighters such as Richard Bustillo, Walter "The Sleeper" Michaloweski, Seakson Janjire, Sakseem, Maurice Smith and many others.

If you don't see your name you are the many others!!  Much Love!!!!!
