Owner & Head Instructor | Black Belt in Shaolin Kenpo | Blue Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
As the proud owner and head instructor of Mandala Son Martial Arts, my mission is to help
students achieve personal growth and excellence both on and off the mat. With a black belt in
Shaolin Kenpo and a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, I’ve spent my life immersed in martial arts,
with much of my journey being self-taught. Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of learning from
many incredible instructors, each of whom has shaped my approach and deepened my passion for
the martial arts.
Martial arts is a family tradition. Raised by two Shotokan black belts, I was introduced to the
discipline at an early age. This foundation has shaped my teaching philosophy—emphasizing the
importance of hard work, respect, and continuous improvement. I believe martial arts is not just
about physical strength, but about mental focus, self-control, and the ability to overcome
challenges.
I have also been deeply inspired by Black American martial artists, including BKF founder Steve
Muhammad, whose dedication to martial arts and his contributions to the community have been a
significant influence on my own journey. Their resilience, discipline, and commitment to preserving
the culture and history of martial arts have motivated me to not only improve my own skills but to
pass on these values to the next generation of martial artists.
In addition to my traditional martial arts expertise, I have a diverse background that includes 10
years of experience in security and bouncing, which has given me a unique perspective on practical
application and self-defense. Standing at 6'8", I’m often described as a "giant Kung Fu master," but
I strive to instill in my students the balance, humility, and precision that martial arts requires.
Beyond martial arts, I have a passion for kung fu movies, anime, and video games. My interests
have always revolved around movement, strategy, and storytelling—elements that I integrate into
my teaching to keep classes engaging, fun, and inspiring.
Through my martial arts school, my mission is to inspire students of all ages and backgrounds to
push past their limits and unlock their true potential. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced
martial artist, we welcome you to join our community and discover the transformative power of
martial arts.
