I always wanted to study martial arts but I couldn't find the right shifu. When I heard that dr. Jackowicz will be opening a martial arts studio, I immediately joined! I've been a long time student of dr. Jackowicz, who is by far the best Asian Medicine teacher I've ever had. Since last year he is also my shifu and the most exciting is that both of my teenage girls joined me to train and they love it!
