About Josh

I bring years of experience from my own training, fighting, and teaching, and have learned/trained under world class instructors. With my varied experience and approach to training/teaching, I would classify my style as instruction on movement more than any one specific martial art.

Here are my credentials:

Warrior Strength Kettlebell Certified

Warrior Strength Filipino Martial Arts Guro - This was achieved by teaching and reaching the ranks of: Full Instructor in Natural Spirit International, Completion of the Art in Taboada Balintawak Eskrima, and Agalon in Pekiti Tirsia Kali.

Warrior Strength Muay Thai Poo Choi Kru

Full Dog Brother - This was achieved through proving myself in full contact weapon fights, my nickname in the group is "Lazy Eye Dog"

Trainer Operations for TITLE Boxing Club Redmond (Boxing/Kickboxing)

I enjoy helping others achieve their goals to build strength, cardio, and stamina, their knowledge in the art, or even to improve balance and coordination. I also enjoy sharing a more realistic and practical approach to self-defense, as I’ve tested my skills in an adrenalized state with weapon fights. I also love fighting in Dog Brothers, and bringing that experience back to my students.

I had trained for several years and had been fighting, but started to enjoy helping demo and assist with leading classes, helping others learn. I also found my skill level improved and my personal fight game elevated, after I started teaching.

I have also held training, team lead, and management positions in a corporate setting. So, I have transferable experience from a “9 to 5” as well.

About the lesson

Establish your goals for training, your capabilities physically and mentally, and whether we have any barriers to work through or around (e.g an injury). We will start with basics and progress, based on the student’s abilities from there.

I’ve worked with kids as young as 5 and adults up to their 60s. I’ve also worked with people who have had mental and physical limitations, from having to re-develop coordination or overcome a deficiency in motor skills on one side of the body to making adjustments for current/past injuries.

Make sure it is a fit for your goals, and your personality. It makes no sense for you to waste your money and time on someone that isn’t helping you pursue your goals (correctly and effectively), or that you can’t stand, as those will inherently hinder the learning process. Additionally, make sure they have some understanding of either the sport (e.g. Muay Thai and Kickboxing) or reality of a combatives/self-defense situation. Someone who is just the sport or just the self-defense instructor will be less likely to be able to crossover between the two, again, align your goals with the instructor that is most capable.

The yearly Water and Steel Camps hosted by Datu Kelly Worden of Natural Spirit International. I was used by some of the senior instructors to help demonstrate techniques and assist with guiding others during the sessions, and I found my ability to learn and absorb was far greater this year, over the previous two. The camp ended with my receiving a promotion to Full Instructor under Datu Kelly!

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What is your short term and long term goal of the training?

What prior experience or skills could be transferable? Let the instructor know, so they can adapt the training to better fit your capabilities. For example, a drummer will probable pick up double stick patterns easier and a gymnast is more likely to be physically capable of excelling in Muay Thai (i.e. they are flexible, strong, and explosive).

Can they teach you the sport, reality, or both, or do you want the “martial arts and crafts” as well because you are truly committed to learning the art beyond the sport/“street”?

What past or current physical/mental traumas/situations could affect training? Help us help you ensure your safety and getting the greatest impact out of the training. You’d be surprised how much you can still do, even when impaired. I have over 120 fights with a lazy eye (essentially I just use one eye), have fought injured while still being effective, and have done a whole training camp on crutches. I have also taught classes while on crutches, so we can still help you as trainers when we have our own impairments.

Perfect! Josh is fantastic. He really tailors the classes to my needs and will give extra exercises or drills to support your main art. My coordination and balance have greatly improved since taking his weapons training. Highly recommend to increase skill in any art.

Josh is very patient with my boys and you can tell he is very passionate about teaching Weapons Based and Muay Thai training not only to teach the art but also to ensure that the kids have fun while learning. I have seen my boys grow and improve in the art in a short time, learning discipline and self defense skills. My boys have a lot of fun while they’re in class and look forward to coming.

Josh is great with the kids he keeps them engaged and wanting to go class every Thursday. He provides them with a solid foundation and makes it fun for them. I have also started taking the FMA classes and enjoy different sessions and learning a new art.
