My Philosophy
The universally accepted translation of the word Sensei is “Teacher.”
The more literal and correct translation is “One who has been before.”
That is exactly what I am, a student just like you.
There are many on the path that are ahead of
me, just as there are many that are on the path behind me. I am charged with the
responsibility of sharing with you what I have learned throughout my journey and to help you with yours, just as others have helped me.
I will forever be learning, evolving, and sharing both as a student and as a teacher of life and the Martial Sciences.
