David Green was born in Baldwin Hills Jewish hospital in Baldwin Hills, California in 1963. He took his first karate class in 1973. As he progressed into his teens he would, without his families knowledge, fight street matches to make the money to pay his tuition. Dave earned his first Black Belt in Kenpo back in 1978. After that he entered the Air Force in 1981 (37th Air Rescue and Recovery Squadron) while in he studied multiple other systems. He became 1982 & 1983 Full Contact Bare knuckle Underground Street Fighting Champion.   Dave has two terrific boys. Cody (9), who is a former AZ. and Calif. State U.S.K.A.champion and a Brown Belt and Ty(6) who has been learning for about two years, they are his inspiration.   Dave is also an advocate of training in the Martial Arts despite physical limitations. He practices,teaches and fights, despite a previously broken back, heart attack at the age of thirty, bad hips and knees and other health problems. He says," I have two choices, I can either let these problems take me over, or I can use the power G-d gave me to take control of all Spiritual, mental and physical aspects of my life. I choose the latter,only the weak let adversity control them. and weakness is not an Honorable trait."   Dave having 37 years experience in the Martial Arts is constantly learning other systems to provide the best teaching skills he can, to better serve his students. He holds Black Belt Ranks in three styles of Kenpo and Asian Freestyle Kickboxing but is a life long student, realizing that mastery is a never ending journey. He is currently studying the deeper concepts of Kenpo, under his instructor Mr.Pat Salantri.   The Martial Artists that he admires and has had an impact,(whether direct or indirect), on how he teaches are, Sensei Ray Silverstrand, Sensei Pat Salantri, Sensei Drake Sass.   email: senseidavidtwi@cableone.net     Sifu Ezequiel Martinez has practiced the martial arts since 1993 under the instruction of Si-Gong J.M Francisc Camacho and the instructors Anguel Estrada and Guadalupe Ronquillo.   During this time he has practiced Kenpo, KickBoxing, Tae-Kwan-Do, and Street Fighting. He has had 17 years of experience and in 2000/2002 obtained 3 international championships amongst fellow black belts.   The style he teaches is the open system of Kung-Fu and Chinese Kenpo.     For as long as James Orrell can remember, Martial Arts has always been his dream. He started Karate when he was four years old; now that dream has become a reality for him.   Learning the traditions of honor, discipline and respect has helped James conquer some of life's biggest obstacles.   He earned his Black Belt in American Kenpo from Master Lee in 1998, and has also studied Hapkido with Master Alexander, White Tiger Kenpo and Greens' Kenpo and will continue to progress in his Martial Arts under Sensei Salantri and Sensei Green.   What makes James a humble Martial Artist is accomplishing his goals and filling his heart with not only strength but compassion for others.   He has always wanted to teach kids so now he teaches the Kenpo Kids class.   email: kickboxerusa2008@gmail.com
