Damien Gonzalez
Kids Instructor/ Shark Tank Instructor
Damien is a purple belt who often teaches alongside his identical twin brother, Dominick. The twins are from nearby Fillmore, and they have plenty of experience working with younger children thanks to their large family. Damien is one of our top competitors and one of our most diligent students, and he's become an excellent instructor in his own right. His Shark Tank class, every Sunday at noon, is one our school's most popular classes.
Dominick Gonzalez
Kids Instructor / Foundations Instructor
Dominick is the evil twin (or is it the other way around). Dominick and Damien often teach together and they are identical twins so don't feel too bad if you get them confused. Dominick teaches the kid's classes with Damien, and he also teaches Foundations classes. A Fillmore native, Dominick is also one of our top competitors.
