Master Kelly is one of the most experienced and complete instructors I have ever worked with. He is also great with my kids and he is a light-hearten and fun guy. Don't let that fool you though he was taught by the great masters of the east in pretty much every martial art known. If you just looked at his history you would walk in expecting to see some little old Asian man sitting cross legged on a mountain top like in the movies. Instead he is a tall lean white guy that looks more like a surfer than a highly trained martial arts Master and Healer.

If your just looking to learn how to punch and kick and hang out he is probably not the teacher for you. If you want to learn how to be a complete person and fighter he is your guy. I have spent the last several years studying Krav Maga and the first three strikes he taught me would tear through anyone in my class, short of a few instructors. When I have challenged him to demonstrate the effectiveness of his method he attacked with so much power, speed and ferocity that it actually scared me, something that never happens to me in a fight. However he had such control he was able to tear through my defense and counters like I was a child but never caused any harm or struck me directly. I have studied different arts my whole life and never have I come across a teacher with such and impressive resume or whom I look at their abilities with awe. He teaches the old-school way which is to develop the Mind and Spirit as well as the body.

He will allow people to attend free introductory classes so please come, meet him, challenge him and see his method. If you are the right kind of student I guarantee you will not leave disappointed.
