Karate with Erwin C.

Welcome. I've been teaching since 2001 in Japan, the United States, and Eastern Europe. Over the years, I've developed positive relationships with students of all ages and backgrounds. I have degrees in Physical Education, English, and Library Science. Additionally, I was a full time teacher in the Peace Corps for two years. I have been practicing martial arts regularly since 2004, and have the rank of 2nd Degree Black Belt. I am willing to teach Goju Ryu Karate, Aikido, basic self-defense, and/or beginning boxing. I will do my best to help you achieve your goals. For many, it takes time and practice to become proficient with techniques. Patience, independent study, and diligence are key. I think I would be perfect for someone thinking about joining a martial arts school, but still unsure. Why not try a lesson or two to see if martial arts is a long term pursuit for you? I would also be good for someone that would like a budget friendly option. I care about the overall development of my students. If you are in school, and you can demonstrate high academic achievement or improvement, you will get extra time of my own for free. Metro accessible locations preferred, and of course, weather permitting. Martial arts helps develop the mind, body, and spirit.
