Mr. C

 

Mr. Daniel Cuthbertson (known as Mr C. to his students) is the owner and head instructor of Petaluma Academy of Martial Arts. For the past 32 years, Mr C. has found that the discipline his school teaches can help both adults and children to channel their frustrations and agressiveness into a non-violent outlet and manage anger in a positive way. Mr C.'s Kenpo and Escrima blend of training is excellent for spontaneous response to attack, using anything and everything available as a weapon. This training, combined with kickboxing, helps students deal with contact and helps build confidence and physical endurance.

 

Mr C began his training in 1972, at the age of 17. Over the course of his continuous studies, he has trained primarily in Kenpo Karate, Latosa Escrima and Tai Chi.

1976: Black Belt in Shotakan, Kai Lua, Hawaii

1980: Black Belt in Kenpo Karate, Sigung LaBounty
