During the COVID-19 pandemic, many trials and tribulations were set forth in front of me. One of which I certainly could not have overcome without my family here. Training with Sifu Ron and Elsie, as well as my warrior brothers and sisters, has gave me a sense of purpose that I will not ever give up. And to be so enveloped in the growth of new students, kids and adults alike, has brought so much gratification and hope to my life. I just really cannot express the importance of it. All I have to say is this, if you want a place where you are loved, supported, and strengthened in character and discipline, I cannot wait to see you here!

Along with my ongoing Kenpo training I've crossed trained in three different Bruce Lee Jeet Kune Do schools which also taught Kail stick and knife, Mauy Thai and boxing classes. Also, I've spent a small fortune in seminars, videos and books in my quest to develop a new modern Kenpo system. A system combining classical Ed Parker Kenpo forms, sets and principles to new techniques and training sets combining information from several styles and always geared to modern street fighting. Despite my creating a new evolutionary Kenpo. I remain very traditional. I recognize that I'm blessed to be standing the shoulders of great martial art masters. Over the years I've seen multiple students use Martial Art training as means to transform their lives using ancient and modern martial philosophy to their daily lives. My classes are safe, respectful and very honest. My students accomplish over just a few years to become effective Martial Art practitioners with a broad understanding of the arts, their history and traditions.

These people have a dedication to their business, love for their clients and competency that is rarely found (especially all 3 together) in the Martial Arts and Fitness space.

They both tried classes at another martial arts facility in town, but felt that this one was more welcoming and supportive.

There are only a handful of Poekoelan schools in the entire country, and Corvallis is incredibly lucky to have one. Geoff Wathen, the founder of Golden Naga and the main instructor, has put a ton of personal TLC into the development of the school, and it shows, in the quality of the instruction and the dedication of the students. Geoff himself is an amazing practitioner, a fantastic teacher, and an all around great human being. Definitely check the school out; you will be glad you did.
