About David
The Program is called Self- Defense and Awareness (SD&A). SD&A is a self-defense program or tool,
used to help one to connect the mind and the body using techniques and methods from Ancient martial
arts. The systems used are not from any “punch and kick” martial arts. We would use methods from
"internal” martial arts and “Zen” martial arts.
The difference between internal martial arts and external martial arts is that the “internal” focuses on
breathing, balance, energy flow, oneness of the mind and body.
The techniques are efficient, effective, and rely on balance and the body's physics which makes it easy for anyone to do. The techniques are circular in motion and is a true self-defense system designed to aid in escaping oncoming force. This system contains elements of Tai chi, Judo, and Kung fu.
My journey into the martial arts world began in 1992, as a way to gain control of my life. I grew up in a
physically and mentally abusive household and needed some sense of power and ownership over my
life. During these years, I had questioned myself numerous times as to what my purpose for studying
martial arts was. I did not want to hurt anyone, and some of what I was learning seemed directly geared
towards that, so it seemed senseless. Through the years of training and competition, I found that the
struggle of gaining knowledge and experiencing victories, and then through defeat, constantly being
shown that ultimately, I really did not know anything all led to a deeper knowledge of self. Martial arts
gave me a direct correlation to my life and personal development and the importance of being confident and humble.
I have over 20 years of martial art experience and have had many teachers throughout the years. I have competed in numerous tournaments and worked with law enforcement doing security work and a short stint as a bouncer. It would be my pleasure to share my knowledge with you.
Thank you for your interest.
I started teaching many years ago. I stopped for a while, but decided to start teaching privately one on one, or small groups. This gives each student more one on one time and faster development.
I have been studing martial arts for over 20 years. Which includes Judo, Kickboxing, Taichi, and Kung-Fu. I currently hold a brown belt in Judo.

For new students, I will work on the basics of finding your center, working on balance, and hand eye coordination.
I've trained all walks of life and all professions. I prefer to work with those who are untrained and are looking for a sense of self confidence and inner strength. Those who are trained seem to compare this technique with that one, and are mentally distracted. I'd rather have an empty cup to work with, that way the student will be more receptive to learning and building a strong foundation.
Forget everything you know, and be open to learning something new.
I enjoy all experiences in life, and cherish the little things.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
