Sensei Darren’s main goal is to instill each student with a passion for learning how the mind and body work together. Gaining control of the mind and body is the first step. Once the mind and body connection is strong, a healthy, balanced, and flexible body will follow. In the beginning, a student will be happy learning how to stop an altercation, but, in the end, he or she will be equipped with the tools necessary to thrive in his or her life, not just survive.
