About Me

I’m Andrew, a martial arts instructor and private security professional in Eugene, Oregon. I have over 25 years of experience in the martial arts. I emphasize the traditional, as well as modern MMA, and the tactical focus of defensive martial arts training. I teach private lessons as well as small groups and can host seminars teaching Taekwondo, Kali, combative self defense, women's self defense, youth martial arts, and also martial arts and tactical defense for private security providers.

I am also a private security officer and asset protection detective with experience in site monitoring and protection of property and people, guarding buildings, apprehending shoplifters, alcohol monitoring, crowd control for events such as concerts and sports games, and bouncing for bar/club security.

Hire me to host seminars and training sessions teaching practical self defense and martial arts or if you are training for an upcoming competition and want some Taekwondo skills added to your fight game. You can also hire me with your company for guarding your client's property, people, or for working an event.
