“As a student and instructor for over 40 years, I am always interested in learning something new or finding something that will enhance mine or my students training. Robert has created a series of videos that are exceptionally put together and very informative.
Regardless of your style, anyone can find something useful to add to their training or teaching.
I have known Robert since the early 1990’s, and I would expect nothing less than perfection from him.
I highly recommend any instructor or student check this series out. If , like me, you are a traditional Taekwon-Do(International Taekwon-Do Federation)instructor, the weapons section will be particularly useful if you wanted to add weapons training to your curriculum.”

I found your training content to be professional and well crafted with a detailed emphasis on stellar technique. Your dedication to the martial arts is evident in how much content you are providing at what I feel is well below its value. I look forward to seeing the weapons training and thank you for taking the added effort of producing the videos from all angles to ensure accuracy in form and technique.

I have looked at your online training material. You have a solid curriculum that allows people around the world to access instruction. Regardless of their location.
