For over 20 years I have been training Jiu-Jitsu, I hold the rank of 1st Dan Black Belt in German Jiu-Jitsu, promoted and certified by Joe Fried Sensei. Currently a member of the Canadian Jiu Jitsu Union, and look forward to continuing my tutelage in the many levels of black belt training under Steve Hiscoe Shihan. Having worked in bars for most of my life and as a former manager and security (Bouncer) for Ft. St. John’s Alexander Mackenzie Inn’s licensed amenities, I have accumulated a great deal of experience in the practical applications of; Jiu-Jitsu Self protection Enforcement techniques This gives me a unique perspective into the real life or practical uses of the techniques I instruct, and more than a few stories. In addition to my Black Belt Certification; I have certificates from Moffat Security Consulting & Training Academy Inc. In: •Basic Security Training, •Advanced Security Training, •& MOAB Strategies for Controlling and Restraining Aggressive Behaviour. My protection instruction reflects the Justice Institute’s use of force model allowing my students the knowledge to lawfully use this training for their personal safety and the safety of others. My fitness training reflects the philosophy of the samurai; everything we do is from a position of strength, and control.
