When I opened my doors more than twenty years ago, I had already earned black belts and held rank in the following arts: Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Kung Fu, and Jiu-Jitsu.


After these achievements in the leading styles of martial arts, in 1989 I began a new challenge: Muay Thai (Thai Boxing). My goal then, as it is for my students now, was to gain Strength and Agility, to display Courage and Determination, and to show a willingness to be Disciplined.

My first instructor was Surachai Sirisute (Chai). After training with Chai in the U.S., I then traveled to Asia. Once in Thailand, I realized how much there was for me to learn. I was eager to train and learn my chosen martial art in the place where it originated.
Since then I have traveled and trained in Thailand on a regular basis in order to be able to offer to my students the best techniques and training.
