With over two decades of teaching experience and a lifelong dedication to martial arts, Sensei Marcus is the heart of the dojo. He holds multiple black belts and has trained in disciplines including Karate, Taekwondo, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Beyond technique, Marcus believes in the transformative power of martial arts to shape character and build lifelong skills. His teaching style is a thoughtful balance of structure and encouragement — he knows when to push, when to support, and how to help students of all ages find their inner strength.
Marcus founded the school in 2017 with the goal of creating a space that honors tradition while remaining inclusive and modern. His classes are known for their clarity, energy, and emphasis on discipline, respect, and humility. Many of his students have gone on to become instructors, competitors, and leaders in their own right. Outside the dojo, Marcus is a devoted father, avid hiker, and frequent speaker at youth mentorship events.
