Tekano
Not only did TK effectively teach a seemingly simple but precise skill of coordination and body awareness, but I also felt he spoke straight from the heart and this is what I hold most dear. Above all, TK left me with a simple but profound statement which spoke loudly to the writer in my heart and that was “to be the hero of my story.” He inspired me through our experiences together and I feel blessed to have met such an admirable human.

Some of Tekanos testimonials
Tekano was training, studying and teaching martial arts in Thailand for many years. His skills were in a high level, not only as a martial artist but also as a teacher. Tekano was very dedicated to his teaching and training, he wanted to help every student equally. I was impressed about his desire for new information and sincere will to share his knowledge with everyone. Tekano was very warm hearted and open person, it was easy to approach him as a student. The atmosphere in his classes was always inspiring.

Tekano is dedicated to help develop each individual beyond what they thought was possible. He possesses discipline, punctuality, leadership and the most difficult of all the ability to adapt to the needs of the students or any emerging situation. The time, effort and energy Tekano puts in is admirable at the very least. It is through his mentoring as head instructor at the school i have experienced his diligent approach to work, life and people hands on.
With reference to myself and my own lack of understanding, through earnest admonishing was he able to give me clarity and a richer sense of understanding and awareness which has not only aided me but inspired me in my line of work. It is through this distinguished form of leadership that my work ethics have progressed so far in such a brief period of time.
