From the time I first started my Journey in martial arts, I have gotten more out of it than I would have ever thought I could have. Doce Pares has been a big part of this. I have been so humbled by the skill and knowledge I have gathered on my journey, and never worried to put myself out side my comfort zone, or to be worried to make mistakes from time to time, because I believe it's the journey not the destination that's important. |

PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY
The foundation of my martial arts journey comes from the
belief that inner strength will transcend into a life of fulfillment.

is no separation between training and personal life; in both, a person
should be deliberate, dedicated, thinking and feeling, disciplined,
striving for continuous improvement, being truthful, honest and real. |
