About Our Instructors

Master Larry Confer

Master Deb Confer

We, the instructors, are 4th degree Master Instructors certified through the Amateur Athletic Union. With 15 years experience each we have worked with children as young as 2 years old and adults into their sixties. We have experience with ADD, ADHD and other special needs students (such as Autism, hearing impaired and CP) with much success.

We strive to have every student meet and even surpass his/her expectations. We do not believe in "lowering the bar". We believe students will achieve what is expected of them. If nothing is expected.....nothing is achieved. We expect our students to always try their very best and our students have always strived to meet those expectations.

We are a true martial arts school, not what is known as "fast food" martial arts. At "fast food" martial arts schools the students pass thru the belt quickly and easily, not learning anything. A waste of your money and time. Our students must work hard and they will become true black belts. They will learn what it feels like to work toward a goal and achieve satisfaction.
