In addition to my own schools, I have taught at Concordia College, Sarah Lawrence College, The City College of the City University of New York (CUNY), the New Rochelle School District and the Scarsdale Union Free School District. In 1999, I founded my own martial arts system called "NISEI GOJU-JITSU."
