Professor Story has an extensive teaching coaching career spanning 12 years teaching kids and adults. Early on his dream was to one day open a school. When asked “What made you want to teach and open a school?”

Professor Story replied, “I developed a passion for teaching from day one after seeing children's faces light up from sense of accomplishment gained by learning a technique. It made me feel good inside to see them learn and grow. I also discovered that martial arts teaches more then just punching and kicking, martial arts is more about the development of ones self. It helped me become more positive, disciplined and focused in my life. I wanted to share how martial arts has changed my life in a positive manner. I didn't know about a having a positive attitude until I started martial arts. Before martial arts I didn't even know there there was such thing as positive attitude. Martial arts has changed my life and I want to help change others lives children and adults.
