Sensei Gregory Baum

The Community Protector

✓ Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA)

Sensei Baum believes that true strength is used to protect the vulnerable. He actively serves as a CASA, advocating for children in the foster care system, and leads addiction recovery programs.

When you bring your child to Samurai Academy, they aren't just learning to kick; they are learning from a vetted community guardian.

The Tactical Professional

Sensei Baum brings a level of credibility that is rare in the martial arts world. His teaching isn't based on theory; it's based on a professional career in Intelligence and Counterintelligence gathering as a Private Investigator.

As a certified Assault Prevention Instructor, he understands the psychology of violence. He teaches the "1-2-3 Strategic Approach"—blending combat-tested Daito-ryū with the harmony of Aikido—teaching students to choose between lethal and non-lethal responses.
