Eric Mayes, Owner, Rocky Mountain Self Defense LLC
I am a lifelong martial artist, who really just wants to “know stuff”. I enjoy the learning, and the discovery of new things, and the camaraderie that you get from associating with your own special type students. I am exceptionally fortunate to have found a niche in the martial arts/ self-defense/tactical world that accepts me. This has allowed me to be a full-time instructor for the last 10 years.
I also truly believe that anything I can do, I can teach someone else to do. This lets me share the amazing stuff that I have been so lucky to learn from the outstanding instructors I’ve been able to train with.
