Georgie asked in SportsMartial Arts · 6 years ago

Any martial arts instructors that you are considering to be very good that you want to share their names publicly.?

Many times people are saying instructor A... is a fraud, instructor B.... is a fraud e.t.c, but what about the opposite?

Thanks in advance for all the answers and feel free to elaborate:)

In addition Merry Christmas everyone:)

    Mark Hatmaker. Blends humor with deep knowledge and critical thinking.

    Alan Baker. Instructor-level in many systems, he does a good job of explaining concepts and finding linking ideas between said systems.

    Charles Stanley. Though there are things I disagree with him about, he has a wealth of knowledge in his field of martial arts.

    Greg Nelson. A quiet and unassuming manner, but the man is very technical.

    Mike Lee Kanarek. Very direct, keeps you on task.

    Bob Byrd. The "old man" will still randori from time to time. Has a wealth of experience that he passes along.

    Those are ones I've had the privilege of training with personally. For video instruction, Reilly Bodycomb, Saulo Ribeiro, and Ryan Hall are also excellent sources, particular to grappling.

    My Taiji instructor is Chen Bing. Highly recommended.

    My wushu instructor was An Tian Rong until he moved away. Also highly recommended if he still teaches.

    My Shaolin Kung Fu instructor was Zhang Shijie and the coaches of the Huiguang Shaolin Kung Fu and Wushu institute in Xinzheng of Zhengzhou in Henan Province.

    My Karate instructors were Sensei Don Robinson (who passed away), Yuichi Kuda (also passed away) and Tomosada Kuda, Seikichi Iha only for a few short years unfortunately and during my competition years Doug Yates.
