“I am a civil servant at Offutt AFB NE educating the base populace in prevention of sexual assault. I also advocate
for and assist sexual assault victims. I met Michael during Sexual Assault Awareness Month searching for an
instructor to teach a Women’s Self Defense class and have known him now for over a year. Michael is one of very
friend. He is totally and completely a gentleman and truly inspirational instructor for our classes. His ability to
humor, instruct, and most importantly, set at ease all participants in the class is admirable indeed.
Our classes are attended by women of all ages, between 12 and 65, some of whom have been the victim of some
kind of assault. Michael very quickly set the tone of the class with respect and admiration for the women who
attended in their search for more control in their lives. He taught many different aspects of self-defense inspiring
even the very tentative participants to come out of their shell and prove to themselves they were capable to defend
themselves when necessary. Another avenue was helping them understand the necessity to always pay attention
to their surroundings and notice discrepancies and anomalies. His instruction was explicit, efficient and completely
effective. We have received many emails from participants extolling Michael’s praises and thanking us for having
him teach.” May 12, 2011

spoken at length by phone over the years, discussing all aspects of the martial arts industry.
He possesses an unquenchable love for the martial arts which causes him to invest an impressive amount of time
practicing, teaching and striving to improve in every area. As a result, his abilities, talents and knowledge as a

As an instructor, he incorporates humor and patience while requiring attention to detail from his students without
overwhelming them. The standard is set high, but the students enjoy the journey to obtain the goal.
