If you are in the Mayaguez Puerto Rico area, I offer English one on one private lessons at my home gym. The primary curriculum is 18 modules and can be completed within 36 hours although more training time is recommended for building further mastery in the foundational knowledge and skills.
Private Lessons are $25 per hour and discounts are offered in session packages.

"Working with Ricardo Negron has allowed me to learn different techniques of personal defense. He combines the theory of different ways of offense and defense with practice allowing the student to learn at his or her pace according to physical abilities. He also includes some personal anecdotes that enlighten the course." Vivian
"This man is the best trainer I have ever had the chance to be with! If you want to learn about self defense then this is your man! Believe me, you WILL learn and you WILL love it!" Federico Rosas
