David Todd is a life-long martial artist, educator, and learner. Starting in the traditional arts at the age of 8, he quickly found that he connected to both the physical and cerebral lessons within his training. Currently the owner of Sentry Jiu-Jitsu and a second degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as well as fifth degree in Amercian Kenpo, David draws on the practical and useful in all arts. Known as a hard-hitting, detail oriented, scenario based instructor, his lessons are to the point and immediately useful once off the mats. David continues his own training and is currently working on achieving his black belt in Judo. You are guaranteed to learn something in his class and see how the grafting of styles comes together for a no nonsense self-preservation system.
