Walker started training martial arts over 20 years ago. He achieved the rank of 3rd degree black belt in Kempo, primarily focusing on striking. Before long Walker wanted to return to being a white belt to fill in the gaps in his ability and continue to grow. He was introduced to the world of JKD (Jeet Kun Do) and has been training in mixed martial arts since 2018. Once he moved to Vermont, Walker began training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu continuing the pursuit of skill regardless of what happens in a fight.
As an instructor and practitioner Walker lives by two rules:
1. Train today so you can train tomorrow.
2. Train today so you can train in 20 years.
This sums up his approach of ensuring everyone who trains with him does so in a safe, empowering environment while working with their wants and needs to reach their goals. After all, the best training plan is one that will keep you excited and consistent.
When Walker isn’t teaching, he is a stay at home parent to his two sons, avid audio book listener, and husband. Walker and his family enjoy anything outdoors, with friends, or with good food, and hopefully all three!
