Martial Arts

Self Defense Instructor "Dave" began training in martial arts in 1993, and has continued, non-stop.  He is a certified instructor in Krav Maga through ICSU and a Kung Fu Master (since 2007).  Dave has trained extensively in many other martial arts including Brazilian JiuJitsu, MMA, Judo, Shaolin, etc., to ensure that he provides the best self-defense training possible.  Also, Dave speaks Spanish and English, and holds a current Clear/Pro California Teaching Credential, BCLAD certified.

​

Not only has Dave taught self defense at his own martial arts school, but has been contracted by several organizations on an ongoing basis as a self-defense instructor (Kern County DHS, Kern County Housing Authority, Panama School District, Fairfax School District, Garces High School, The Alliance Against Family Violence and Sexual Assault, several local businesses....)  He also trained and taught at the Shaolin Temple!  His experience as an instructor ensures that you receive quality training, not just a good workout.
