Eric is a T4TCS Level I Combatives Instructor, a mixed martial arts student practitioner/apprentice, under Sifu/Kru Mark Medeiros (since 2023) - His roots in martial arts began in 1996 in traditional Japanese Jiu Jitsu, and later, in the 2010s he found a love for boxing, and worked under coaches like Richard Lewis, while also conditioning EOFL (Eastern Ontario Fight League) competitors (including championships).
Throughout this journey, Eric was exposed to various combative style landscapes and disciplines, gaining a deep understanding of the value of the traditions and lineage connected to the arts and combatives. This commitment to the 'source code' of the work is what informs the collaborative training and information shared at T4TCS today.
He believes that it is a true honour and privilege to learn from and train with Sifu Mark, and Kru Jakub. The culture and history of the combat arts that exists is truly a blessing.
