The Boss!

Julio Felices is BODYSHOCK's owner and Head Instructor. Yep, he's the big cheese.

Our hero was born in Manila, the capital of the Philippines, in 1965. At the tender age of eight he was first taught Kaliradman (a philippine combat system which employs sticks, swords and knives, but which can also be done without weapons). He went on to learn a number of other martial arts including Suntukan-Sikaran (comparable with Muay Thai-Boran), Dumog (philippine wrestling), etc. etc.

Having survived his childhood in the Philippines, Julio moved to the USA where he then spent four years with the U.S. Navy and four years with U.S. Army.

With this background, Julio is uniquely qualified to pass on his knowledge of fighting and survival to others. Afterall, this knowledge has been tried and tested - snigger! His hands-on experiences have helped Julio to develop new, useful techniques, which he can pass on to you in his classes.

All of this - the experience, the knowledge, the practice - combined with a heavy dose of Philippine humour - means that you can expect to learn something worthwhile at BODYSHOCK and have fun doing it, too.

But isn't that what they always say on this type of website? Sadly, yes. But you can actually come and see if we are exaggerating. Just swing by BODYSHOCK and check us out. Please see our Class Schedule and fill out our Free Tryout Form - then there's nothing to stop you from becoming the next Bruce Lee!
