Upon graduating high school, he enlisted in the Marine Corps and began his true martial arts quest. Studying numerous styles and recieving a black belt in Hapkido. He also trained in Muay Thai boxing, and Tae Kwon Do before finding Kajukenbo. Sifu Chris realized that Kajukenbo was what he had been looking for in a complete self defense system. Upon receiving his black belt in Kajukenbo he then went on to train in Brazialian JuJitsu under Helson Gracie and Kali under the late Miestro Snookie Sanchez. Sifu Chris is always looking for new ideas and theories to share with his students.  He believes in letting students grow and learn from others to better improve themselves, once they have mastered the basics.  Sifu Chris continues to train in Kajukenbo and is now  training in Serrada Escrima as well.
