Teaching Philosophy:

An affirmative teaching style to motivate by positive encouragement. An holistic approach combining physical activity and intellectual challenge to develop overall fitness and mental alertness. With regard to physical exercise, training emphasizes conditioning muscles, increasing flexibility, developing hand-eye coordination, as well as building endurance and strength. With respect to life skills, training helps student develop focus, personal discipline, body awareness, determination and respect for others. Students develop confidence and self-esteem through a course curriculum that builds step by step, challenging with near-term achievable goals as well as longer-term stretch goals.


Teaching Experience:

Sean began his formal training at the age of 13. His first teacher, Ron Kitchen was a student of Master Anthony Goh. When Sean finished high school, he moved to Baltimore to train directly with Master Goh. He trained intensively and his hard work paid off. He was nationally ranked in the Professional Karate Association and won full contact matches both nationally and internationally. In most of the tournaments, there were no weight classes, so his opponents were almost always larger than him.
