Self-Defense Instructor
I am a practicing attorney who has been studying martial arts for over 30 years, and teaching adults and seniors for 10 years. My instruction focuses on simple and effective techniques and concepts that can be modified to a person's strengths and limitations. I am also getting ready to re-publish a book called "Street Karate: A Complete Course in Self-Defense" that was originally written by my first instructor, John McSweeney. This is a unique book addressing 35 situations where martial arts were effectively used by people to defend themselves, with information about the attack and the specific techniques that were used. I have revised the book to include some additional thoughts on legal concerns and alternative defensive techniques.
