With over 20 years of self-defense experience, I bring a practical, disciplined, and responsibility-focused approach to every class.My background includes black belts in TaeKwon-Do and Kung-Fu, Israeli Kapap Level 2 Instructor training, ICPS Shooting Instructor experience, and USCCA Certified Instructor credentials. I have also had the honor of training Army, Police, and civilian students in Argentina and the USA, giving me a strong understanding of how self-defense principles differ across military, law enforcement, and responsible citizen contexts.I teach hand-to-hand self-defense, weapons training, firearms safety, defensive shooting fundamentals, and legal self-defense education. My goal is simple: to help responsible citizens build the skills, mindset, and confidence to protect themselves and those they love." } ] } ] ```
