What makes Dominick different from other self-defense
experts?
Dominick’s unique philosophy of self-defense, combined with his background and
personality set him apart from others in this field. His approach is
scenario-driven; workshops, even speaking engagements, are customized to the
scenarios that the participants bring to the table. He focuses on the mental
aspect of self-defense as equally, if not more important, than the physical. He
always tells his students and audiences, “If you are not ready to mentally
handle the situation, the physical doesn’t mean a thing.” |

When asked about his martial arts background, Dominick humbly gives the credit
to his instructor, Bill Murphy, a Korean War veteran and hand to hand combat
instructor. During the war, Bill taught the art of Chinese Kenpo to soldiers.
Upon his return to Detroit, Bill continued teaching this street-oriented style;
however, he was highly selective of his students. A young and eager man named
Rodney Jones found himself worthy of Bill’s trust, and became one of his first
black belts. Rodney and Dominick became best friends—more like brothers. In
1981, Dominick shared his Christian faith with Rodney, and in turn, Rodney
shared this underground world of Kenpo—a gift that greatly impacted Dominick’s
life. In 1986, the Lord took Rodney home in a tragic accident. Out of love and
respect, Dominick vowed to never let the art die. One of only 4 black belts
under Bill Murphy, Dominick takes his mission seriously. “I not only represent
Bill Murphy, I also represent Rodney, who lives in me every day,” says Dominick.
It is this passion that Dominick wants to share with others. Dominick’s
greatest gift is his ability to put his audiences at ease when discussing such
harsh subject matter. One moment he is playing the criminal, making his students
realize what they would really do if attacked; the next moment, he is making his
students laugh, or calming them with a smile or reassuring hug after an intense
moment.
