Personal Inspiration:
Bruce Lee, when I started; everyone else I met along the way; the warmth of the heart and love I feel when I walk inside or think of my gym, House of Champions!

Inspiration as an instructor:
I get inspired not only by knowing what works, but when I witness someone that I taught accomplish their goals either by victory in the ring, or in life in martial arts.

Martial Arts and/or Teaching Philosophy:
I try to help you find yourself. You do not know yourself unless things happen to you; anger, fear, hate, courage! Fear is your best friend, it will make you run faster, work harder. When I find your weak points, I make them strong, giving courage. Make you harvest hate and anger and express them in a positive way - push-ups, sit-ups, running, bag work, rig work, etc. I will show you how to get out of your way!

Additional Thoughts:
Sensei Mark Parra is not just someone in my life, he is life! People are born in this gym and are now our family. I can only teach what I've been taught. What I've learned, I'll be learning my whole life. Life is full of surprises, I'm ready! Are you?
