About

hal photoI have been teaching martial arts for over 25 years. My teachers include: Robert Smith (Maryland), Ben Lo (San Francisco), Allen Pittman (Atlanta), Liu Hsi Heng (Taiwan), Mr. Huang (Taiwan), and Mr. Jou (Taiwan)

My intention for my students to develop body awareness and through that mindfulness, develop a deep sense of the nature of their minds. I teach the forms traditionally without any omissions.

I have also been studying Buddhism under several teachers including His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Buddhist Studies have added a whole wealth of knowledge to my teaching methods in the martial arts.

I have also studied the following healing techniques: Swedish massage, Thai, Tui Na, energy healing, Reiki, healing touch and energy bone manipulation.
