Albert Marcuri

Albert Marcuri attained a 3rd Degree Blackbelt in Tae kwon do under Master Nick Koclanis in 2022. He was introduced to the martial arts at age 9 with Kung Fu, learning from his father, and then later around age 15 started his journey in Tae kwon do at Mountain View Karate, soon realizing the profound impact this would have on his life's development.

Albert is grateful to have learned from many teachers along the way, and a variety of martial art styles have been part of his path and training such as: Aikido, Aiki-jujitsu, Tai Chi, Wing-Chun Do, Brazilian Juijitsu, Karate, & Hapkido.

Over the years of practice, Albert realized that the essential aim of Martial Arts is unity of being, and this point of focus creates perseverance, discipline, and a strong heart. There are many other by-products of the martial arts that can be pursued in and of themselves, but this remains the highest ideal.

As such, Albert incorporates holistic and healing practices into all aspects of his life such as Yoga, Meditation, a healthy diet, and many others, as he continues to learn about new methods and techniques for self-improvement.

Albert has been teaching kids and adults martial arts for 18+ years in a diversity of settings from after school enrichment to college courses, and is currently a full-time exercise instructor whose classes include martial arts, yoga, sports, fitness, and more. As a teacher, his aim is to inspire others with healthy practices that they may find their own inner path.
