Martial Arts & Civilian Tactical Training
Martial Arts & Civilian Tactical Training
For the past two decades, I’ve been involved in the world of martial arts and self-defense. From combat oriented systems like Jeet Kune Do and Filipino Kali that efficiently build applicable skills to traditional systems like Shaolin Kung Fu that focus on changing the body over a lifetime of training; each of these disciplines has shaped not just my body, but my mindset. I’ve learned how to stay calm in chaos, think clearly under pressure, and push through tough situations—skills that have helped me far beyond the mat. Now, I’m here to help you build that same strength, confidence, and clarity in your own life.

Sifu David’s training sessions were carefully tailored to my personal goals. I was deeply impressed by his depth of knowledge and his flexibility in sharing that knowledge.

Before working 1:1 with Sifu Mitchell, I had gotten my black belt in another martial art after 3 1/2 years of steady training... but I still felt unable to protect myself and my family. If put into an uncomfortable situation, my body would go into fight/flight/freeze, and I'd suddenly lose all my black belt knowledge. I tended toward people-pleasing rather than allowing myself to defend myself or aggressively take up space. As a mid-thirties woman, I feel like that's more common than not.
Then I started working with Sifu Mitchell. Unlike in group classes where the high achievers are often overlooked, the 1:1 training session is fully dedicated to me and my personal self defense needs. These sessions are more than physical training or learning and repeating patterns. He's helped me through multiple emotional and mental blocks, trained me to get over the fear of hurting someone or doing the wrong thing. Over the course of our time together, I've stopped obsessively saying "sorry" and I've started standing up for myself in day-to-day life. And I genuinely feel confident that, if attacked, I would no longer freeze.
There's something truly magical about Sifu Mitchell, in his ability to hold space, to maintain complete professionalism, and to meet a person exactly where they are and customize training to their needs.

The training you get at Ronin Martial Arts Institute is very high quality. Sifu David is very knowledgeable and has an incredible understanding of range, timing, body mechanics, and how to apply them under pressure. From empty hand to weapons, he makes the information easy to understand and a lot of fun to learn! Ronin martial arts institute is a fantastic school that I believe everyone will enjoy and would recommend to anyone!
