Instructor - Evan Pantazi

Training in Judo began in 1975, which immediately spurred an interest in the Arts that has grown steadily through the years. In that same year I was introduced to Wing Chun that added the entering, sensitivity and striking that I had not found in the Judo. A real incident brought me to seek not just these technical Arts but a less regimented and more natural method for protection that was found in Kenpo. From the Kenpo training which increased my coordination and stamina I began the study of Wu Shu which ended after only a few years as I sought out the softer styles of Martial Arts like Tai Chi, Ba Qua, Jujitsu, Aikido and finally into the healing Arts of Tui Na, Chi Gong.  Working with Military, Law Enforcement and Emergency Personnel integrating Pressure Point Control or Incapacitation for situational needs. 

Currently Instructing internationally in:  Australia, Belgium, Bermuda, Canada, Costa Rica, Denmark, England, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Scotland, Spain, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland and the USA.
