I am the headmaster/ head instructor of Nagash Family Martial Arts and I have taught countless individuals self-defense and the martial sciences. From the East coast to the West Coast of the United States I have taught countless students.

The three martial arts I have come to found, each serve their own distinct purposes and have their own aesthetics. The three founded martial sciences are;

• Nagash-Ryu Shinobi-Do
• M.A.C.S. or Modern American Combat Sciences
• Ghost Fist Kung Fu

Ghost Fist Kung Fu took nearly a decade to develop and refine, and was the very first art I had founded. GFKF has been developed to be one of the toughest and most rewarding systems of kung fu developed. Classes are brutal and last anywhere from three to five hours in length. Ghost Fist Kung Fu encapsulates traditional kung fu and traditional kung fu values, all be it a modern branch of the kung fu tree.

Ghost Fist kung fu successfully utilizes techniques, training, conditioning, drills and sets from various kung fu schools. Shaolin kung fu, Chin Na, Tam Tua, Ving Tsun etcetera...make up the core of Ghost Fist Kung Fu. A black belt in Ghost Fist Kung Fu can truly call themselves a warrior!

The second art I'd founded is called "Nagash-Ryu Shinobi-Do," which is a modern adaptation of classical Ninjitsu. NRSD is both a striking and grappling art, but also incorporates a menagerie of weapons. Nagash-Ryu Shinobi-Do is not a martial art for the corrupt or feint of heart, as lessons are geared towards life and death situations.

The techniques employed in NRSD are very deadly and are borrowed from a variety of Karate schools. Uechi-Ryu Karate-Do, Iga and Koga Ninjitsu, as well as Tae Kwon Do and Judo make up the core of Nagash-Ryu Shinobi-Do teachings.

M.A.C.S. is my newest and yet oldest martial art. By the time I was twelve years old, I'd become obsessed with combat sports. I founded the "Junior Pit Fighting League" in Philadelphia, PA. as a way for kids and gang members to settle disputes without anyone getting seriously hurt or killed. Back then we were shooting for takedowns, ground and pounding and getting submissions just like modern Mixed Martial Arts.

I rededicated myself to sport martial arts and developed a system for use in mixed martial arts arenas, enter modern American combat sciences. M.A.C.S. fills the void in Nagash Family Martial Arts, for a system for use in the ring or for sport and not just on the streets. I myself am getting ready to step inside the cage using M.A.C.S. to show the world what my system has to offer!

Martial arts isn't a hobby or a lifestyle, it is a path one chooses to walk! Choose your path carefully and wisely.

Over these twenty years, i've had dozens of sparing partners from various schools of the martial arts. Aside from those studying the arts that I was, I've also sparred with those from Kenpo, Boxing, Kickboxing, Jujitsu, Judo, Shotokan karate, Ving Tsun, Wushu and Ninjitsu.

As for accolades, I was Pennsylvania state champion in (WTF) TKD free fighting and a forms champion several times over. I am universally recognized as a Master in the martial arts and as an original founder of my three systems. Medals and reocognition aside, martial arts has helped temper my anger, I've lost over 150lbs and it has given me the ability to walk with confidence.
