About Michael

Hello! I have been involved in Judo since 1989. Since then, I have progressed to coaching Judo and Jujitsu for tournament play and self-defense. I'd invite students of all levels to join us at the Ken-Rock Community Center for a fun learning experience. We will learn Judo techniques and about the history and culture of Japan, as well as a little Japanese lingo. Like Jigoro Kano used to say, "With movement, there is progress."

I love to see a student go from being unsure to being confident and skilled.

Back in, roughly 1996, a need arose for an assistant in one of my master's classes. I began showing other students how to do the techniques. I've been teaching ever since.



Tae Kwon Do black belt, Hapkido black belt, Judo coach, amateur boxer, HEMA enthusiast, firearms enthusiast. 25+ years in the martial arts. +5 years private security professional.

I will speak with all new students, to get an idea of their initial level and reason for learning. I will also instruct them, first, on defense and safety. Safety is absolutely important in my classes because, frankly, I do teach techniques that can kill you. Then the training can begin.



I've worked with student as young as 7 years old to adults in their 70s. I've instructed people who couldn't throw a punch, up to fighters who could routinly give me a run for my money. I've taught them all a thing or two, as well as learning something valuable from each of them.



If they try to sucker you into a "black belt club" of any kind, run. This is typical of a belt mill or a "McDojo." They will take your money and teach you mostly worthless techniques. Then you will be very surprised when you get seriously injured in a real self-defense situation. Also, be sure to shop around. Not all martial arts schools are created equal.



Teaching the Rockford YMCA community was a great time. Also, joining the Brazilian Jujitsuists at their club for some practice time was a rewarding learning experience. I learned just as much as they did.



A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What do you want to accomplish? How long do you have to invest in this goal? How serious are you? Are you willing to experience some ammount of pain? This activity can hurt, but I will try to prevent injury and discomfort. Remember, you chance injury in the practice of martial arts, but I'll try to keep you safe.
