About Gerard

My deepest apologies for not responding to the recent lesson requests. As delightfully overwhelming the demand for both karate and boxing lessons is, I cannot take any new clients at this time.

I am a full-time law student and as finals are around the corner, I have less time to provide lessons and need the time to study.

Thank you for your interest, support, and patience.

Keep your spirits high, and happy holidays! Osu! 🥋🥊

---------------------------------------------

I love martial arts. Every last one of them brings tons of useful, fun, and downright dangerous techniques. However, after 20 years of Kyokushin Karate and Boxing, I find that the best place to start learning to protect yourself is on your feet.

I have experience working with children, beginners, and intermediate students transitioning from other styles. I've taught groups (20+) students but, working one-on-one or with small groups is always more fun. It lets me pay more attention to the student and guide them in improving their technique.

The idea is to find the best self-defense/workout regime for your body type and specific needs. After we set a goal, we can plan accordingly and I try my best to help you achieve it.

Watching a student blossom over time into a splendid martial artist is one of the greatest feelings in the world. I want you to succeed!

I also have a passion for any clients who want to use kickboxing as their cardio during a weight loss journey. After near-daily heavy bag kickboxing sets and a strict diet, I lost over 60lbs in 1 year while greatly improving my technique.

Whether you want to lose weight, build confidence, or learn to protect yourself and your loved ones, I want to help you reach those goals!

I started teaching when I was 15 the day I earned my Jr. Black belt in karate. I led groups of adults sometimes twice my age through drills and sparred regularly.

After pausing my training to focus on school, I returned to my dojo two years 3 years later and asked that I might start at a white belt again. I wanted to re-build my karate and my physical body. 

After two years of training from the ground up, in 2018 I earned my Shodan rank and officially began teaching at the dojo. I taught kids and adults for 10hrs a week and had private lessons sprinkled in between. 

Teaching is instinctive for me. I love exploring an issue from new angles and finding creative solutions. Every student is unique and it's my responsibility as an instructor to explore those qualities and improve any weaknesses while highlighting your strengths. 



I have 20 years of Kyokushin Karate and incorporated a lot of traditional and modern boxing techniques into my style.

Practically growing up in the dojo surrounded by world-class martial artists, I picked up amazing habits to build strong technique, discipline, and spirit. 

I have personally taught a lot of my friends who are usually beginners. It doesn't matter where you start, it's where you're going. Most of them now have the tools to continue training on their own or come back to me for any new ideas on how to improve.

Well, everything starts with trust, so I like to get to know my students a little with a conversation. Something like:

What are your goals? What do you want to learn? Traditional style? Modern training? How long or often do you want to train? What's your favorite video game? (I'm a huge nerd). And feel free to ask me anything!

We would check your general health, cardio level, flexibility, any previous martial arts or techniques you'd like to improve/supplement. 

After we get acquainted we get right to learning/drilling the fundamentals. :)



I've taught children, teens, adults, and elders. I have worked with total beginners, intermediates, professionals, and other instructors. The best martial artists are always learning from their students and their peers. 



Humility, honesty, and solid fundamentals are great starting points. Then find a trainer who specializes in the styles you want to learn. You want a teacher who doesn't confine himself to any one role.

I am just as willing to learn as you are. I have met masters who trained for over 40 years and never wore anything but a white belt. The best instructors are have been students their whole lives. 



The introduction of the COVID-19 vaccine has allowed groups and individuals to continue to learn martial arts in a safe and healthy environment. 



A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Do you have any special health needs?

Do you have any allergies?

Do you have any pre-existing injuries or medical conditions that would prevent certain body movement?

Are you afraid of being hit? (It's important to decide what kind of training is appropriate.)

Are you afraid to hit someone?

Do you have a pre-existing aggressive nature? 

All of these are important in deciding what kind of training is right for you.
