After retiring from competitive fighting, he developed a teaching approach that focuses on self-awareness through movement and reaction. Here, the sword becomes more than just a weapon — it helps you better understand yourself.
Learning Through the Body and Nervous System
Classes are designed for beginners and those with no prior experience. Training begins with soft foam swords, gradually building foundational skills before moving into natural sparring.
What makes this approach unique is the integration of
-
Martial Arts
-
Emotional Awareness
-
Nervous System Regulation
Participants are encouraged to observe how they respond under pressure — whether through fear, frustration, excitement, or avoidance and learn how to understand and regulate those reactions.
