Sensei Michael "Mick" O'Neill

Please, call me Mick.  I am the creator of Training Perfectly and founder of Gishi Ryu Karate.
I'm the chief facilitator of the Twin Cities Martial Arts Group.

You can find out everything there is to know about my long, winding path in the biography section of this site.

Above all else, I am a lifelong student of martial arts. I am passionate about the benefits martial arts have to offer everyone. I am committed to growing a community of martial artists who humbly and freely share with each other.  I am an advocate on improving the quality of martial arts training through improving the practices of martial arts students.

My instructors, students and friends from across the globe are equally responsible for my progress as I am.  My continued progress is dedicated to them.  The value I have gained from them is the reason I share with anyone who has a mind open enough to share alike. It's my way of giving back to the martial arts community that has given me so much.

Thank you.  I look forward to training with you.
