Experienced tutor in Self defense in Charlotte, Roy offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

I had heard of Roy before Id ever met him, after an incident outside of a bar had led to a rumor that this guy must be a stunt man based off the way he had handled himself. Weeks later I happened to work with Roy at an event and I remember landing a very, very, cheap shot (I don't even think we were doing a striking drill at the time), and Roy just smiled, nodded appreciatively and said, "nice."

Several years later, I still go to Roy to train. I've traveled internationally, I've studied about five different arts, I've met with both pedagogues and morons. When I want to know if what I'm doing works, or I need to test myself just a little bit harder, I go to Roy.

Everyone always wants to know, 'well have you ever used it?' and of course the answer is 'yes' but they're not usually asking the right questions. In addition to the combatives aspect, some of the most important and long lasting lessons that I learned from Roy were about self maintenance, primarily spinal care and joint mobility.

If you want to learn an effective martial art, go to Roy. If you've got an ego and maybe it needs to be checked, go to Roy. If you want to try something you've never tried before, go to Roy.

Roy is a highly experienced and dedicated Systema instructor. He's professional and keeps classes interesting and challenging. Plus, you will learn so much about self-defense, improving your health, dealing with stress and growing yourself as a better person. Highly recommended!
