This class is oriented toward effective self defense, exercise, comradeship, and mutual respect. My classes are not ego driven. If you are interested in acquiring rank, I can promote you in Sabeel Combatives, which is my own blend of Silat, Kali, Hapkido and Jujitsu. Rank advancement is difficult and takes dedication and time.
