Biography:
My studies in Martial Arts began as an enthusiastic parent encouraging my two children (6 & 8 at the time) to do their best in learning Sensei Reisler’s Sho Biyn Jiu style of Kung-Fu and Karate. After about a year of watching them and mimicking Sisok Golden’s training, I decided that this would be a great path for me to follow as well. Now in my fourth year of study, I can confirm that Darin’s training philosophy and style of martial arts has helped across all aspects of my life. Not only have I improved myself from the physical training and conditioning, but I’ve also been able to reduce stress and improve focus. One of the greatest personal benefits has been training together with my daughter over the past three years and the potential to reach the level of black belt simultaneously with her. As a parent and instructor, I find that the school, our team and our approach to martial arts really strikes a chord with students – young and old. I look forward to continue my training for years to come. Perhaps you’ll join me on the journey…
