I had attended the Guard Prequel under Master Music however, scheduling conflicts did not allow me to attend the full Guard seminar until recently. My biggest regret is not doing this sooner, and not only have a deeper appreciation for Shurite Kempo, it's an art that I now desire to become much more adept in understanding.

I had the pleasure of training under Master Music while attending a seminar in Shelby OH. Master Music is extremely knowledgeable and thorough in explaining techniques with both Kettlebells and Martial Arts. He is a very patient instructor and it was a pleasure and an honor to get to train under him.

Reneta and Gary gave a very informative seminar at Levels Gym. They focused on your safety and the safety of others along with the techniques they use. I liked the way they demonstrated the technique then critique our form before letting us touch the kettlebell. The individual attention they gave to everyone in the group was very beneficial. I appreciate the time they spent with our group and l am applying what I learned to my workout.

Gary is a very informative instructor. He comes with very good information and interesting ways to compare kettlebell technique with other exercises to help us with our form. Gary is a good motivator and wants to see everyone succeed. It's nice to have an instructor that actually cares about the safety and improvement of the participants, unlike some of the gym owners that let people lift and workout incorrectly.

Always an honor to be taught by! Master Music has a very special gift to captivate your attention and give your training another dimension of REAL world application. I look forward to the next time to train with him!

Master Music did several seminars in Little Falls and Rochester NY the last couple weeks - excellent as always - you technique and knowlege only gets better with time!

I had the pleasure of training with Master Music for the six year in a row. Master Music vast knowledge of the Martial Arts and his teaching experience make any event memorable. It was great to hear the background and history of the techniques as well as the theory behind each move. The progression of defense was benificial for the experienced Martial Artist and novice alike. Any event is made better by having Master Music attend.

Outstanding instruction. I always learn something new and look forward to his seminars every year.

I had the pleasure of working with Master Music during a weekend long open hand self defense clinic. I found him to be not only skilled in the techniques, but, most importantly, skillfully able to demonstrate and teach them. He was patient at making adjustments and re-explaining or reframing a sequence to ensure complete understanding.

I recently trained with Sensei Music at a seminar in Little Falls NY. He has an complete understanding of his chosen disciplines and also knows how to teach them. I can’t wait for my next opportunity to train with him.

I had the pleasure of training under Master Music while attending a seminar in Little Falls, NY. Master Music is extremely thorough in explaining specific techniques and carefully watches to make sure you comprehend what he is showing you. I appreciated his patient demeanor and knowledge.

I recently attended an annual seminar taught by Sensei Music. His knowledge and his teaching abilities in Shurite Kempo and overall fitness are second to none. Every time I get the opportunity to work with his I find my skills and knowledge has increased. I strongly recommend attending any event/seminar/class you can get to with Master Music.

defidentally knows his stuff, and good at making stances sharper and kicks/punches faster

My son who has been taking Tang Soo Do for over 2 1/2 years now has been to 3 of Master Music's seminars. After each seminar I have noticed the positive influence and impact he has had on my son. I notice the skills my son has learned in his seminars he has implemented them in his Tang Soo Do training which says Master Music does make a difference with these students within his teachings. Thanks Master Music for sharing your knowledge with Region 9, NY.

EVANS, I'm watchin you Boy

Master Music's knowledge and experience in the Martial Arts and in the fitness field make all of the difference in training. I consider myself fortunate to have had the opportunity to take a class from him. Any practitioner can gain greatly from working with him or taking any seminar he offers. I highly reccomend this instructor.

Master Music was instrumental in the success of the our recent kempo seminar. He demonstrated skill and the knowledge and history to back it up, adding credibility to the seminar!

Gary Music has been one of the most punctual and helpful instructors we've ever had at the Mansfield YMCA. His knowledge of kettle bell training is rivaled only by his knowledge of the Martial Arts. His preoccupation with safety and his commitment to routine has made him a perfect fit at the YMCA and we are all very glad to have him there on a daily basis.

Master Music is an intellegent, knowledgeable instructor with a great teaching style. He keeps you moving yet gives you enough information to keep your mind working. A true pleasure to train with.

When I first met Sensei Gary Music, I had rudimentary knowledge and skills in Kettlebells. Fast forward months later, he has guided me personally to be able to pass the HKC. Gary's committment to his student's success is of paramount importance to him. Up until this present time I am grateful for all his unselfish and generous help in my own preparation for the RKC. And in the process, he has become a family friend. So if you are someone who in search for an expert and committed teacher, look no further: Gary Music is highly recommended.

I have taken many classes through my college with Sensei Music as one of the instructors. He is very patient, and willing to work with you, and makes sure you have a good understanding of what to do. He is also very encouraging to all students. We had a shurite kempo seminar, and he was my partner. He made sure I understood, and complemented how quickly I picked up. He's very encouraging, and overall, an awesome instructor!!

Sensi Music has been an outstanding instructor! I continue to enjoy leaning from him in the dojo and in the class room. Sensi Music has alot to offer in his training that learning from him is very applicable. His knowledge of Shirite Kempo has allowed me to focus on my own skills and learn more than I ever thought possible. The knowledge he has of Kettlebells is emmense and I learn more every time I am in his class. His seminars are outstanding and there is more to learn every time you attend one. I continue to look forward to training with Sensi Music.

I have had the pleasure of having been at several seminars taught by Sensei Music. I am very impressed with one his knowledge of the kettle bells and kempo and two his passion for what he does and his ability to teach what he does. I strongly suggest taking a seminar taught by him and look forward to getting to attend more in the future.

Attended another seminar with Sensei Music. We all learned a lot and had fun doing it as well!

Master Music has done it again - very useful material presented in an organized manner for all to follow! Master Music hosted kicking seminars and kempo practice at our dojang in Little Falls, NY. All of my students benefited from it. Master Music also assisted at the Guard seminar, sharing some of his years of practice and was well received! Great job Sir!

I have attended an annual seminar on the interpretation and application of the ancient Okinawan katas and techniques with Master Music for the past 5 years.His knowledge of this subject can only be attained through his many dedicated years of study and training.He certainly has an impressive background and is very humble in his teaching and getting the point across to the students.He has proven himself to be very able to tie one martial art in with another and present different viewpoints and applications.His knowledge of the history of these arts is always impressive. New material is presented every year along with a review of the past seminars.These seminars provide information that allows the student to enhance their techniques no matter what martal art they are practicing. During our breaks I learned he also trains with and instructs kettlebells.He provided me with a good deal of information on the use of kettlebells for rehab on injuries (rotator cuff to be specific ).I look forward to the next exciting seminar.

I have truly been enriched by Gary Music. Learning from him allowes me to further educate myself to educate the students I teach. I look forward to continuing my Shurite Kempo and Kettlebell education from him.

verry good

Mister Music is a driven, focused and experienced instructor who loves to share his knowledge and help others grow. If you are interested in learning from the best I highly recommend him.

I recently attended a 1 & 1/2 day seminar with Master Music and his colleague Master Molinaro. This was my second time training with this team. Master Music carries himself with a quiet and powerful presence. He is a wealth of knowledge and we are truly blessed that he travels all the way out to Little Falls, NY to do this seminar every year. It is definitely worth the 8 hour drive from DC to Little Falls for this annual event!

I recently attended a seminar taught by Sensei Music. His knowledge and his teaching abilities in Shurite Kempo and kettle bell are second to none. I strongly recommend attending any event/seminar/class you can get to with Gary Music.

Sensei Music's vast knowledge of martial arts allows him effectively bridge the gaps from one style to the next.That makes him the total package. This is why he is such an excellent instructor. His world view on self defense is logically appropriate from peaceful living to self preservation. I especially enjoy his interpretations of The Sun Tszu. The depth of his thoughts can't be followed by most.I recommend any encounter possible with Sensei Music. His magnetic personality will leave you wanting more.

Sensei Music's ability to bridge from one art style to the next, while effectively getting his point across, proves his life's training has culminated into the total package. This is why he is such an incredible teacher. I especially appreciate his interpretations of the Sun Tszu. Keep Training!

I have had the privalege attending several of Sensei Music's seminars in Shurite Kempo and some Kettlebell training. He is very thorough and patient in his instruction. Very professional. I look forward to training with him again.

We had the privilege of training with Master Music at his Shurite Kempo clinic. His teachings are not just informative, but something that can be applied in many situations and would only enhance martial arts from other crafts. We hope to be able to learn from him in the future.

Master Music was again a source of help and information with Shurite Kempo. I would highly recommend his work in this and kettle bell for anyone looking to expand themselves beyond the norm. His recent seminar at my dojang was highly professional and useful!

I attended Sensei Music's Shurite Kempo seminar two weeks ago and continually reflect on it. I was very impressed. Sensei Music's vast martial arts experience, along with his understanding of the subject material and teaching style, made this a highly valuable experience. All in attendance learned a great deal about martial arts technique and philosophy.

Kettlebell was introduced during the seminar as a synergistic compliment to martial arts study. Sensei Music's presentation roused the interest of all participants, and left us eagerly awaiting more training. We hope to have you back soon for Kettlebell lessons.

Heartfelt thanks to you, Sensei.

I have been quite fortunate to attend several seminars taught by Sensei Music. His depth of knowledge in both Shuri-te Kempo and kettle bell training has allowed me to pick up several new martial arts techniques, expand my martial arts knowledge, and better improve my weight training and body conditioning through proper use of kettle bells. I would strongly suggest attending a Gary Music seminar whether you are just beginning or are a seasoned practitioner!

I had the opportunity to have a second 5 hour kettle bells seminar with Sensei Music. This second round was very intense and instructional and I believe it will help me push past my current plateau. Sensei Music is very patient and goes over things until they are exactly correct. He provides excellent guidance and strategic planning for continuing workouts. I look forward to my next training in a few months to keep me pushing forward.

Our martial arts studiio in Rochester, NY just held several workshops on Shurite Kempo and kettlebell training over the past several days. The students in attendance all had high praise for Mr. Music's teaching and coaching. He was very thorough and organized and clearly communicated the material so that students could understand and learn. I appreciate his strong grasp of Kempo and kettlebell training. We will definitely have him back in the future. I highly recommend Gary Music if you are looking for a professional instructor in martial arts or kettlebells.

I have been a traditional karate man for over 37 years and just got back from Alan Goldbergs 10th Annual Action Martial Arts World Expo where I teach a couple of very successful seminars every year. I also watched and/or participated in many others all weekend and must say in contrast, Master Musics RKC presentation today stands out as one of the best I have seen all year. He had my martial arts wintercamp crowd of all ages (ages 6-55)spell bound and performing wonderfully within minutes. His depth of knowledge amazed my group and they genuinely learned the importance of muscle and bone alignment and the potential to strengthen their core.

I WILL have him back ASAP.. Bravo Mr. Music, well done!

Sensai gary briefly taught me the ways of karate-do. He is a patien, intelligent teacher of the karate way. He has taught me things that i can keep forever in only months worth of time. Gary Music is an insipration to all the students he has and will ever have

After training on my own for a while I found I was having a terrible time with get ups.I went to Dragon Doors web site and found Gary Music name under Instuctors in my area.I have been training with him for a couple of months and my hole work out has improved.

I had the opportunity to work with Sensei Gary Music at the RKC training in Minneapolis earlier this year. During those three days, I was impressed by his quiet, driven approach and as a result, he has been my virtual training partner for the past six months. Gary has been studying martial arts for most of his life and he has developed a methodical, supportive style that drives his students to exceed. He understands the progressions required to build strength and improve form by executing proper technique. He is flawless in his form and supportive of his "victims."

As a fellow RKC instructor and through my professional affiliation with Gary, I am confident in stating he is a positive and dedicated professional who brings out the best in everyone he trains.

I recently attended a full day kettlebell workshop with Gary Music. He has a strong grasp of the RKC material and patiently passed much of that knowledge on to the participants. Mr. Music is organized and thorough in his teaching, attentive to safety issues in the workout environment and concerned about the students understanding and retention of the technical and practical applications of training with kettlebells. I left the workshop with a much clearer understanding of performing the various exercises as well as a game plan for increasing my overall fitness. I was very pleased with the workshop and would recommend Mr. Music to anyone who wants to increase their knowledge of training with kettlebells.

My wife and I attended one of Sensi Music's kettlebell seminars while he was in our area. He is an excellent instructor who does an exceptional job of both explaining and demonstrating how the movements should be done and insuring that his students are doing them correctly. His teaching style is very open and approachable and left me really feeling I know what I need to do to get the most out of my workout. His emphases on safety also makes me feel confident implementing the workout plans he provided. I'm looking forward to seeing how I progress to the goals they lay out.

I completed a 6 hour training session today with RKC Instructor Gary Music. I found him an incredibly knowledgeable and patient instructor, who really helped me correct my form and move confidently into heavier weights and an appropriate training regimen.
