Jim is fully endorsed by three of the world’s most prominent martial artists : Hock Hochheim, Mark Hatmaker & Tim Tackett. Jim tested his skills competitively in a variety of competitions and venues for more then a decade having fought in both sanctioned and unsanctioned fights (underground fights) as well as participating in thousands of rounds of full contact sparring. Through the years he has trained with and interfaced with many of the world’s top martial artists, police and military personnel and worked security at a premier nightclub in NJ body guarding some of the music industries most popular artists. As a result he was forced to use my martial arts on a daily basis being involved in hundreds of altercations through the years involving everything from weapons to multiple opponents giving him a real world perspective on what works.
