Sensei Sean's approach to teaching is to lead by example. Every class he leads is dynamic. His classes include a full body warm-up in the traditional method (junbi undo), basic techniques (kihon), prearranged exercises (kata), partner drills (kumite, randori, and kakie). Every class he instructs always starts and finishes with respect. Sensei Sean always has a motivational message to inspire his students.
