Having trained with Brian's teacher and now with Brian, his teacher would be proud of the quality of complexity to simplicity.

I also appreciate the breadth of his knowledge and his willingness to share it with us which ensures that those who are training with him will get it in some form or another which is possibly again another high-quality trait that Brian has, he has patience and is very supportive and encouraging of the effort made, the way he plans for and structures his classes, the depth of knowledge that Brian brings to his classes and his passion for the arts.

He has the willingness to break things down and build them up again with a focus on the reality of fighting which he does by focusing on structure, pace, repetition, and reflecting back to us the students which are very helpful to help keep the goal of that moment’s practice in mind which in turn changes.
