Kaiwipaoaehikuonalani “Eevee” Amina, 27, was arrested Tuesday, July 23, using sheriff’s deputies on two counts of 1/3-degree sexual abuse. Two former college students reported to the Sheriff’s Office that Amina and any other adult gave them alcohol, and Amina touched them in an irrelevant manner while they were at Amina’s apartment in the 18000 blocks of Northwest Cornell Road in Beaverton in January 2017.

At the time of the alleged incident, both women were younger than 18. Amina owns and coaches at Martial Masters Academy, coaching boxing, blended martial arts, and Muay Thai. Reached by cellphone Wednesday, Amina declined to comment on this story. He might not touch upon how many students Martial Masters Academy has or whether it’ll preserve running. Detectives believe there may be extra sufferers with whom Amina had a touch as a martial arts teacher.

Anyone with extra statistics can call the Washington County Sheriff’s Office at 503-846-2500.

Military, law enforcement, or security experience Involvement in a credible martial arts organization.Extensive knowledge of a culture or philosophy you’re interested in. Although an instructor’s experience and background provide some credibility, don’t be overly impressed with awards and certificates.

Their mindset and level of experience will be apparent through subtleties in character and by their actions.
Quality instructors are sincerely interested in helping You and won’t feel the need to boast about their credentials or prove themselves. Instead of boosting their egos, high-level instructors are very attentive to coaching you to achieve your goals. You can often measure an instructor more accurately by their students’ results and satisfaction than by credentials alone. The students themselves may be the greatest indication of the quality of instruction. Like a good business is constantly researching and developing, high-level instructors research and continually improve methodologies. A lifetime of training in martial arts isn’t enough to reach human potential!

A high-level instructor portrays the noble characteristics of a role model and leader. Confident instructors welcome feedback and respond to your questions with patience and insight. They are usually very humble and rarely speak negatively about any other school or style. Also, find out if the school’s head instructor is actively teaching. Some schools have classes primarily taught by an assistant or senior students, while the head instructor only occasionally appears. While assistant instructors may be capable of teaching, watch out for schools that “sell” you on the instructor but have someone else teaching.

CLASS DYNAMIC:

Ensure you know how to evaluate a school in two parts: the content and the context. The context of a martial arts school comprises the training methods and environment. What kind of setting is the school providing? A supportive learning environment is crucial to maximize the assimilation and retention of material. The training context can be more important than the content (or material) intended to be learned.
