About

Karate isn’t just a sport to me, it’s my way of life. Self-defense is about way more than fighting - it’s about walking with confidence, being alert, and knowing you’re not helpless if things go sideways. I teach because I want others to feel that too.

Who Shows Up

I run practical self-defense training for all kinds of folks:

• Women and girls who want to feel safer and stronger. Every March, the entire month is reserved just for them - full-on sessions celebrating and training ladies in our city.
• Corporate teams looking for more than just another icebreaker. I bring the workshop to your office, so your team gets real skills plus a bit of a morale boost.

What Actually Happens Here

Forget movie moves. We focus on what you’ll use if you ever need it:

• Simple strikes, throws, and ways to break free
• How to escape common holds or grabs
• Staying calm and making quick decisions
• Boosting your confidence with every session
• Building awareness of what’s happening around you

The Vibe

Here, everyone’s learning - no one’s expected to be perfect on day one. Our sessions feel like a chill family hangout. If I come up and ask, “Elli mane nimdu?” (Where’s your house?), don’t be surprised. That’s just how I connect.

Getting stronger isn’t easy, but you’ll see progress. If you want to learn real-life self-defense techniques and get more confident, I’ll back you all the way.
