I am excited to bring two of my teachers to the UR Movement Research Studio this May!  Both Wilson Pitts and Roberto Sharpe have extensive knowledge in martial arts practices and provide classes that are open and highly informative.  They share a non-orthodox approach and are able to instruct to a variety of experiences.  I have found that my work with them benefits ALL my movement practices, finding parallels to dance and somatic practice.

Contact me if you have any questions

Peace,
Matthew Thornton
