"Outstanding. Moris is extremely knowledgeable, and works hard to assess his students abilities. He then works with you to improve and get you playing at a
much stronger level very quickly.
I thoroughly enjoyed my lesson, and feel like I made huge gains in an hour."

Review by Norma
"Morris is a great coach , he only teaches table tennis ( ping pong ), and he is very good at it. he really is a pro with lots of patience. he told me what
to do to improve my game and worked with me to play table tennis with the correct techniques , he is always on time and never late and his schedule is very flexible. he doesn't rush to to do things and unlike other coaches stays over time and answers all my questions. I think he is the best coach for learning ping pong."

Review by mike
"I am so pleased i came in with virtually no Table Tennis experience besides a few weeks in high school PE, and I am now rallying with coach Morris through
out the entire lesson. interestingly enough I am also noticing my volleyball skills improving! I think what's happened is that I'm training my brain to stay focused on the ball and not take my eyes off it as i hit it.
My game has improved much faster than I expected, and I attribute that to coach Morris not only correcting my technique, but helping learn how to self-correct. this guy knows his stuff and if you listen to him you will improve rapidly as well.
Anyway I feel like I get my money's worth and genuinely enjoy taking lessons with coach Morris. he is always prepared and ready to play. he is full of useful advice and drills to work your week spots.if you really want to learn the game and improve, then Morris is your man."

Review by Len
"When I booked my first lesson with Morris, I had no idea that table tennis could be such a great work out and so much fun at the same time. For many year
s I was a teacher - Junior High School, High School, and college. Morris has all the qualities that make for a great teacher. He is a superb player himself, he understands the learning process, he knows how to teach, and he respects his students. He makes learning to play table tennis a joy. If you want to learn to play table tennis, I enthusiastically recommend Morris.

I've been working with him for about a month now and I've grown to feel more comfortable speaking with my colleagues who are native German speakers.
If you want a native, professional teacher who can be fun...Marcel is your guy.

About Lindsay
Hey there! My name is Lindsay. I truly enjoy teaching everything in the realm of physical activity. I grew up dancing at Mark Spivaks Institute in Jacksonville, Florida. I studied under a Russian Prima ballerina. I played soccer. I swam. My lifestyle at a young age has reflected in my work as an adult. Nowadays I love yoga, hiking, running, art, and being a big sister! If I have one goal in my professional life it would be to inspire active living in today's youth. I completed my 450 hour pilates certification which compliments my teachings in every field due to the anatomical approach. Currently I work as a dance teacher, pilates instructor, yoga teacher and flexibility coach. My passion for movement will inspire you to achieve your goals. I love to make any positive difference to a client: in their day, in their body, in their out
look. I look forward to meeting you and reaching the finish line- whatever that may be!
I am enthusiastic about teaching online lessons as well. I find that online training works amazingly well, and is extremely convenient for people with busy schedules.
For Dance - Lindsay teaches ballet, social club, and basic hip hop and tap
Please inquire about rates for semi privates, group, and corporate training.

Hello my name is Danschneider. I cannot wait to meet all of you. I have been teaching chess, singing, English, algebra, and basic Math since 2002. I am more than happy to teach in-home, or in-studio to anyone. I have been a martial arts practitioner since the age 15, in different martial arts reigning from Hung Gar kung fu, Karate, and my specialty the Filipino martial art of Eskrima. I have years of experience teaching drawing from basic line drawing, to shading, coloring, etc.. I write my own original poems. I am a voice enthusiast as well. You want to sing like your favorite celebrity I will gladly show you a trick or two, you don't even have to be a pro to do so. I have been working with two non- profit groups such as KIWANIS and S.I.P.A. Under KIWANIS I became more in tuned with different kinds of people.I'm also very good with the c
hildren and teens. S.I.P.A. was a program where I worked with children from ages 6-12. I might not be a parent, but I know how to keep the kids enthusiastic and cheerful . I am willing to teach and work with anyone.

Darren's goal is to share what dance has given him in his life by providing in person or online dance courses for up and coming dancers who may b
e intimidated or self-conscious to start dancing or do not have access to experienced teachers or a dance studio with classes that interest them around them.
His courses allow both new and experienced dancers from all over the world to have access to an experienced teacher who understands the ins and outs of how to break down movements to its simplest form, so a student can confidently learn a movement with correct technique, execute them to music and piece them together to create their own combinations whenever and wherever without having to step foot into a studio.
He aspires not only to help those in his local dance community, but also dance communities worldwide who may not have direct access to the techniques and knowledge that was shared with him.

About Al
As a youth I began boxing at the age of 12 and in 1997 I began working with amateurs full time as a head coach. In 2002 I opened my very own gym the Warzone Boxing Club in Riverside Ca and grew it into one of the most elite gyms ever to exist. Relocating to Rancho Cucamonga Ca and continuing to have tremendous success, waiting lists lasting months started to become frequent issues. My prices skyrocketed to 300% above my closet competitor if there was even any and the waiting lists continued.
I developed 18 National, International and World Champions and made a trip to the 2004 Olympic games. I have developed 2 WBC (World Boxing Council) Intercontinental Champions in the professional ranks.
My current standing record of 1100 amateur bouts as a coach and 155 fights with my pros. I maintain a 92% win rate with my amateurs and only 17 l
I developed 18 National, International and World Champions and made a trip to the 2004 Olympic games. I have developed 2 WBC (World Boxing Council) Intercontinental Champions in the professional ranks.
My current standing record of 1100 amateur bouts as a coach and 155 fights with my pros. I maintain a 92% win rate with my amateurs and only 17 l
osses with my professional boxers which is about an 89.5% win rate.
I have worked with US Marshals, Riverside SWAT, San Bernardino and Riverside County Sheriffs as well as the Los Angeles Police Department.
In January 2016 I sold my gym and now I work with everyone on a one on one personal session bases.
My experience leads me to believe all training regardless of purpose, (self-defense, fitness or competition) should be done one on one. I do offer group training for kids between the ages of 4 & 8 and 9 and 12 on the weekends in Glendale Ca.
If you need someone to help you with Nutrition, Speed, Power, Balance, Flexibly and learn the fundamentals of Boxing then send me a message.
Whether it's for fitness or for actual competition I can help you succeed. I can give you the attention needed to help you reach your goals.

About Michaela
Hello there!
My name is Michaela, I’m a graduate from the University of North Florida with a degree in nutrition and dietetics.
As long as I can remember, I have always been intrigued by how food can affect the human body. I grew up in the dance world where body image was everything. The dance world can be a wonderful and rewarding place full of structure and creativity, but it can also be brutal and dark. Dancers are always pushing their bodies to the limit and constantly challenging themselves to be better. I saw many girls struggling with their body image often eating close to nothing or making them selves throw up just to stay skinny. As I got older I realized that the nutritional resources and support came into play way too late and that proper nutrition guidance was necessary at an early age. Luckily, I had a wonderful support sy

About Belen
I'm a music composer/songwriter originally from Ecuador, who is also a life-long ice figure skater. I graduated with a masters degree from Berklee College of Music Valencia, in the Scoring for Film & TV program. I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Contemporary Music back in Ecuador, as well I I studied piano and Portuguese (as part of my love for Brazilian Popular Music).
I'm teaching again because I'd love to contribute with my skills and connect with new people in their learning experience.
Ice skating taught me discipline, patience and perseverance in life. As I my body reached injuries from years of skating, I'm not training anymore, I hope to translate my passion for this sport through teaching and supporting other skaters. All ages welcome!
