"I have never met a martial arts instructor as extraordinary as Mark
Harrell. He does not simply study martial arts and fitness he lives it.
He is constantly researching, testing and applying fitness and martial
arts methods and techniques in order to improve his skills and the skills of
his students. Mark has an understanding of many systems that often
surpasses that of the chosen masters of those systems. Anyone truly interested in
the martial arts or fitness instruction should consider themselves
fortunate for the opportunity to study with Mark Harrell."

--Ronald Hill - Operations Manager - Livermore, CA.

Mark teaches martial arts the way I want to learn.
Instead of having me practice endless forms in cookie-cutter fashion,
he cuts through the crap. Mark taught me how to move, how to strike,
and how to defend. And he did it in weeks rather than in months or years.
Through his tireless study and his mastery of many, many systems,
he has identified what works and what doesn't.
