Assistant Coach

Vincent Pontillo

Vincent's love of the martial arts started in his childhood; the first time he watched Bruce Lee on screen he was hooked.  His formal training began with Tae Kwon Do at the age of 7.  From there he studied a variety of martial arts including Shaolin Kempo Karate and Senshido Self Defense before he eventually found his way to MSTA to study Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do, his journey coming full circle.

Vincent believes that each person's journey is different, their goals individual, and the variety of courses and instruction that MSTA offers allows each student to express themselves and forge their own path.
