Jacques chose to practice martial arts because of his love of martial arts movies that goes way back to the 80's where actors like Sijo Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris were super popular and cool.

Martial Arts to Jacques is the environment he needs to challenge himself physically and mentally.

Jacques' prefessional career is currently in Web development. He feels that many of the strengths he has in so many aspects of his professional as well as personal life is attributed to the benefits of martial arts training

Jacques' goals in martial arts would include being active physically for health and flexibility as well as contributing to the success of WCMAA as an instructor.

One of the most memorable moments for me as a martial artist is when he first participated in a Legends Camp where he met Guro Dan Inosanto. Guro Dan's skill in the martial arts and stories about his time with Sijo Bruce Lee was truly inspirational.
