I have visited many karate schools in the New Orleans area and have even been a member of a few and have never found a teacher with the experience and knowledge as Master Phu Thinh. He studied martial arts in a traditional manner, studying many hours a day everyday and that is hard to find in a teacher. If you truly want to learn martial arts, there is no substitute for learning under a master. On top of that the main style he teaches (Okinawa Konanryu Karatedo) is very effective and he also teaches Judo, Aikido, Ju Jitsu and weapons.
