Gerry began his martial arts career studying Kenpo Karate when he was seven years old. Early on, he realized how much of a positive impact the practice of a martial art could have on someone’s life. During his teenage years, he began to study a system of Japanese Jiu-jitsu, adding the escaping and joint locking techniques to the striking foundation built from Kenpo. As an adult, he realized that the system of self-defense required an additional element to be truly well rounded, and he began the journey of studying Brazilian Jiu-jitsu to add proper ground fighting applications to his self-defense techniques. 

​

Gerry's goal is to provide the most well-balanced system of self-defense possible, while building confidence, respect and decency in students of all ages.
