Coach Eric Cortez has grown up in the martial arts. His father, Professor Bernard Cortez (Kajukenbo), taught him his foundation and fundamentals. This solid foundation allowed him to advance very quickly to the rank of Blue Belt in Kosho-Ryu Kenpo, under Thomas Barro Mitose. At that point in his life, he moved away for a career as an entertainer which eventually landed him in Las Vegas, NV. Once in Las Vegas, he began training in Muay Thai under world renown Master Toddy. This continued for several years.

Now that he is back in California, he looks forward to sharing his knowledge, skill and love for the martial arts with all of you.
