I’m thankful & grateful for another opportunity to serve the Jersey City community. I could’ve never materialized this dream if it wasn’t for my amazing team! 🧃

Sometimes it’s hard to believe it’s been 30 years. Since 92’ stepping on the mat and wrapping my laces has been part of my daily routine & I wouldn’t have it any other way. 🦶🏼 👊🏼

Change is inevitable.
Growth is optional.
Take your pick.
Back to doing what I love the most, showing people how to move their bodies in ways they never have. Kickboxing involves so much of an understanding of your own body, it’s nuts. I have an advantage as I’ve been mimicking movement for years, so observation and repeating has easy. However for most it is not! Breaking down “complicated” movements - such as this sidestep - is what I love doing. Cause once I show it to you and teach you, you’ll have it forever and make it your own. From there you build, improve and kick ass 👊🏻
