About me

Martial artist, dojo founder, independence enthusiast, business owner, father...

In the Kamae training program, I work with principles that come largely, but not solely from Ninjutsu — not as a ‘style’, but as a way of thinking: tactics, observation, positioning, timing, distance, and decision-making under pressure.

My focus is simple: helping you build practical safety skills for real urban life — on the street, in transit, in buildings, and in the everyday situations where things can change quickly.

The training is individual, not generic. We don’t follow rigid levels or fixed routines. Instead, we work on what matters in your specific world: your habits, your routes, your environment — and how to move through it with more clarity and control.

Threat assessment is key as a first step in understanding your individual situation and current capabilities.

You don’t need prior experience or athletic performance. What matters is your willingness to learn. Over time, you will not only improve physical ability, but also develop something that is often more important: calm, awareness, and the ability to act early — before a situation escalates.
