I have been doing martial arts, in one form or another, for most of my life. I began with wresting in the 6th grade, which continued up through college. Upon graduation from college I moved to the more traditional forms of martial arts. Having trained for the better part of a lifetime, I can say with certainty that Damien Ohara is the best coach I’ve ever had. His skill set is remarkable for someone under 40 and yet he still strives to better himself. Whether he is driving 4 hours to have a training session with new people or flying across the world to some little known country to compete, he does so with relish.Damien is no picnic to train with. He expects a level of dedication and effort of his students, effort that will pay dividends if you continue training with him. Damien desires the student to have a commitment to understanding all the aspects of what he teaches, which is something that seems to have taken a back seat in the martial arts world. In this day and age it’s all about self esteem and getting a higher belt. This is not how Damien operates, but when you do eventually see a promotion you will know that you have earned it. I could write pages extolling the virtues of Damien and his mastery of Judo and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, but it’s better that you see for yourself. You would be doing yourself a disservice not stopping by the club and getting on the mat with him. More...

Damian knows running. He improved my form, and increased my endurance and speed. I started running when I retired, in order to increase my cardiovascular ability. When I worked, I concentrated on strength training with a personal trainer. Upon retiring, I replaced personal training with Crossfit A-Game and haven't regretted it once in the past six years. However, I found at Crossfit that my lack of aerobic capacity hampered increasing my strength and overall conditioning. I knew I hired the right coach when my sports podiatrist (also a doctor for The Eagles) exclaimed positively about my proper running form, and asked, "who taught you?" When my neighbor, a high school running coach and iron man and triathlon competitor, complimented my running form, I knew again that I hired the right coach. Sticking with Damian as my running coach has been a no brainer, as my endurance and speed has increased over the years under his tutelage. More...
