"Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified." 1 Cor 9:24-27
Hello, my name is Pr. Vincent X. Shaw, M.Div.
The body is a gift, that when disciplined, extends peace.
The following styles have influenced my developed technique:

Along with weekly class, my students truly appreciate the one-on-one privates. It allows maximum growth in the shortest time possible, completely customized for you. Class with other students is not only fun and social, but allows learning in a relaxed yet disciplined environment, geared for real growth. The great Bruce Lee would say, "Turn your sparring into play -- but always play seriously."
