Mr. Moore's training philosophy includes the Pinnacle Positive Reinforcement Model, but is specifically characterized by a team-work atmosphere. In life as well as martial arts people rely on one another for their mutual motivation and encouragement. With his military background, Mr. Moore likes to make the work outs vigorous, but fashions the work out to the student's ability. Having had students from ages 6 to 60, Male and Female, Mr. Moore encourages each student to reach the pinnacle of his or her potential. 

Mr. Moore holds classes on Friday evenings from 4:30-6:30, and Saturday Mornings 9:30-11:00 Beginners, and 11:00-12:30 Intermediates. Mr. Moore opens and closes each class with Christian Prayer, and a Bible reading for the day.
