Certified in The Art of JKD by Octavio Quintero—who trained directly under JKD legends Jerry Poteet and Steve Golden, original students of Bruce Lee—I bring over 20 years of martial arts expertise to my coaching. I’m not your average CPT. My extensive background in martial arts has equipped me with a deep understanding of movement and an open-minded approach, allowing me to design health and fitness programs that are both innovative and highly rewarding.
Regroove yourself…
The repeated performance of an action creates a mental blue print causing the formation of subtle electrical path ways in the brain, somewhat like the grooves in a phonograph record. Your life follows the grooves that you yourself have created in your brain.”

The Art of Transformation
Jeet Kune Do Kickboxing

Skill-Based Resistance Training
Skill-based exercises with Coach Dan bridge the gap between traditional strength training and practical movement skills, fostering creativity, flow, and engagement. Organized into circuit-style workouts, this approach keeps each session dynamic and accessible, whether you’re new to fitness or seeking an intense, calorie-burning workout.
Focusing on balance, coordination, and agility, the circuits use tools like kettlebells, jump ropes, clubs, slamballs, Olympic rings, and steel maces to build muscle and body control in an engaging, adaptable format. This isn’t about chasing superficial goals—it’s about building skills that support real-life strength and confidence. Each circuit can be tailored for any level, from a fun, easy entry point to a high-intensity challenge.
Whether you’re aiming to boost athletic performance, jump-start your fitness journey, or enjoy a workout that balances mind and body, Coach Dan’s Skill-Based Resistance Training offers a rewarding path to your goals.

Testimonials
Martial Arts Training
My martial arts training with Dan has been a journey of self improvement, gaining confidence in myself, and a step to working on becoming the best version of myself. The best part is there is no end, there is only becoming better little by little, day by day. The training is a lot of hard work, but after training for a year I’ve grown so much since I’ve started. The results are amazing, and no one can take that away from me. There is still much to learn and much to improve, and I look forward to finding new discoveries in this art and within myself.
A great teacher
I have known and worked with Dan for the past five years in a Martial Arts setting. As a teacher he is patient and has insight into what is needed for his student’s success. He has a deep understanding of the human condition. He has a strong desire to help others adapt and overcome the challenges we face as individuals. He provides not only guidance with the physical challenges we may face but also the mental support that we may need when trying to better ourselves. I know this because he has helped me in so many ways. I have a better understanding of my physical self from working with him. He has personally helped to be more flexible while building strength within my body. He has helped me to better understand some of the struggles that I have had in my personal relationships with offerings of wisdom and understanding.
Practical Solutions
Dan is a very experienced and practical instructor. Ive had the pleasure of doing physical fitness training and Martial Arts training with him for over 2 years. His input and instruction is always insightful, detailed, and geared towards whatever issues I’m having in a given moment ratcheted u recognized it or not.
I feel healthier, lighter, more secure in myself
I found Dan through his expertise in martial arts, but I later discovered his multiple modalities (energy healing, circuit training, confidence building and other things) through our sessions. It’s been a few months now of working with him. I feel healthier, lighter, more secure in myself, more knowledgable in Wing Chun, and generally more in tune and grounded. I couldn’t ask for a better mentor. He is very stoic, patient, and willing to shape a structure with you for your healing journey.
I didn’t know what an amazing trainer was until I started training with Dan
He is a great trainer / coach. He is very patient and he’s helped me grow in a number of ways aside from training and helping me become better at kickboxing. We’ve done really great strength training, cardio, meditation, mindfulness techniques, and it’s been really great. I’ve had some good trainers over the years, but I didn’t know what an amazing trainer was until I started training with Dan, and I highly recommend starting with him and seeing for yourself in how he can improve you and your life.
If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there.”
