"What you know does not matter - what you do matters. Physical training produces physical memories - not simply muscle memory but a psychophysical imprint, knowledge that is instinctual rather than intellectual. This is useful knowledge. However, before you can forget and allow the unconscious to take over you need to learn it by heart and learn it well enough to write it in blood. " -GYM JONES As a martial arts practioner for over 25 years, a fitness trainer and instructor for 15 years, a bouncer for 10 years, and a researcher of global unarmed combat techniques and styles for 8 years, Mark brings his knowledge and experience to the crafts of fitness and self defense. Knowing that he wanted an established vehicle for the teaching of self defense and street survival, Mark spent months researching different systems until he came upon Commando Krav Maga. He had found the most advanced and effective reality based fighting system in the world hands down. Cutting through the “dogmatic red tape and traditional Martial Arts smoke and mirrors” , CKM presents street survival exactly how it should be presented……..real. The training of CKM is as real as it gets, preparing the individual physically and mentally to survive any high risk encounter. Not only does CKM teach you how to protect your life, the workout will get you into the best shape of your life. Aside from being a Commando Krav Maga Level 2 instructor, Mark also teaches Biomechanical Strike Training (BST) and Bladeflow.
