Master Carlos Aguilar has studied martial arts since 1970, and has been able to do so under some great martial arts masters. He has competed and judged at national and international martial arts tournaments, and has taught many seminars on empty hand, weapon, and internal sets. Since he opened the New Orleans Kung Fu Academy in 1985, he has taught hundreds of students, many of whom have gone on to compete and place at tournaments nationwide. His generosity and knowledge as a teacher, of both martial arts and “life lessons,” has endeared him to the many students who have had the privilege of training under him.
