Bio
Patrick Rogers
Michael is an excellent instructor. He is very good at breaking techniques down and explaining how they work. He also provides context and history which greatly aid in understanding where techniques come from and why they are used. Many of the concepts and techniques he teaches are useful outside of Musei Tora Bujinkan as well.
Jason Patrick Davis
Michael is a knowledgeable and patient individual, who is eager to share his both his knowledge and skills with anyone who is willing to learn. It has been a pleasure working with him for over a decade, and I am glad to offer a recommendation on his behalf.
