JLS Martial Arts

This page is about my experience in the Martial Arts. A journey that started in 1979 in Holyoke Mass, when I trained under Chester Holubecki in Isshinryu Karate. I attained my 3rd degree Brown Belt and then I began training with Sifu Richard Roy out of Greenfield Mass in the American Karate system, This system had a strong connection with the Katas of Isshinryu and other influences with weapons and self defense tech's. I've attained a 4th Degree Black Belt in the American Karate System and I also hold a 1st Degree Black Belt in Arnis which is also taught by Sifu Roy. We both trained under Master Remy Presas the founder of the Modern Arnis system from the Phillipines. I teach small classes out of my home Dojo and also give seminars and run classes in other settings. I hope you enjoy the pix and please feel free to contact me about classes if you are interested.
