Koichi M.

As a martial coach and trainer I have taught children and professionals alike for the past 25 years. The children I have taught range in age from 6 on up. Teens, and seniors included. I have taught many professionals as well. I coached Joe Camacho (former King of the Cage Champion) for his professional cage match against Hector Pena in California Cage Combat. Joe was successful in his fight against this former K-1 fighter. I also coached Armando Sanchez towards his championship fight in CCC. He was also victorious. Both were champions and Black Belts in my school KO-MMA located in Monterey Park California. (Training videos upon request). Personally, I have no preference in who I teach. Although the reasons to learn may vary, I only ask that they are dedicated and sure they wanted to learn martial arts! Parents rest assured I will teach your children well! Pro's rest assured I will take you to the winner's circle!
