My above credentials and certifications are listed to let people know where and when I completed certain systems, and that I have been approved to teach them. Pieces of paper do not make one a Martial Arts expert, you must judge what I can offer based on my skill. However I see many people teaching arts they have never been certified to teach, and are ripping people off. I am still learning at this time, and am prepared to do so for the rest of my life. I have all my teachers blessings and they are confident that I am qualified to teach their material.
