With over 48 years of martial arts experience, I’ve dedicated my life to studying, practicing, and teaching systems of empowerment and protection. I hold a 5th-degree black belt in Shaolin Kung Fu, and I’m a recognized Guru in Kun Tao Silat. I’ve trained extensively in edged weapons, Kali, Silat, and a wide range of striking and grappling arts.

Over the years, I’ve had the honor of sharing these teachings with thousands of students — and some of the most rewarding experiences have been working with women and girls, helping them step into their strength, reclaim their space, and move through the world with more confidence and clarity.

This workshop draws from what I’ve found to be most effective — ancient principles, real-world scenarios, and tools for body, mind, and spirit.
