I’m great at understanding where my student is at emotionally and mentally - then breaking that down into steps to build skills.

Hi, my name is Aver Hamilton. I’ve been coaching and teaching since 2004. working with students of all ages, from children to adults. Domestically and internationally. My experience includes acting (including voice acting), gymnastics, martial arts, weightlifting, E-sports, English and Japanese. My coaching style is hands-on-general-to-specific, with an emphasis on brave repetition. I believe most people learn best by doing especially young students; so I emphasize guided repetition and clear immediate feedback. I love this stuff!

Rhalan Gracie is part of the legendary Gracie family, whose roots define the very foundation of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. He represents a new generation dedicated to preserving the art while evolving it for today’s students and families. With a lifelong connection to Jiu-Jitsu, Rhalan’s approach blends Gracie Jiu Jitsu fundamentals with competition experience. His teaching emphasizes precision, consistency, self-defense, and the development of confidence both on and off the mat.

"I cannot recommend Rhalan Gracie's studio enough! I have two children enrolled, and the experience has been transformative for both of them. • Tailored Instruction: My youngest is picking up techniques incredibly fast because the teaching style is perfectly geared toward her age and energy. • Inclusive & Supportive: My oldest, who is on the autism spectrum (ASD), is absolutely crushing it. Finding a coach who understands how to communicate and motivate kids with different sensory and learning needs is rare, and Rhalan excels at it. • The "Whine" Test: Perhaps the biggest win of all —my kids actually look forward to class. There is zero whining about going to training, which speaks volumes about the environment Rhalan has created. If you are looking for a martial arts home where your kids will be seen, challenged, and genuinely supported, this is it!

If you’re looking to learn one of the many musical or production/engineering skills I’ve learned over the years I’m happy to help! I love sharing my knowledge and skills with students who are willing to put in the work to learn their craft. Making music and playing musical instruments are difficult skills to learn, especially on your own. Hiring a coach can save you years of banging your head against the wall, questioning every decision that has only lead you to mediocre results that makes even your mom question where she went wrong as a parent. Good news is there is hope! You know you don’t know what you don’t know and you aren’t lying to yourself, therefore, you are capable of learning and being coached. With over 2 decades of experience playing in bands, producing, mixing, mastering, and more than 8 years teaching multiple instruments I can help you become the musician or producer you know is inside your head. - - Subjects include: Guitar, Bass Guitar, Piano, Ukulele, Music Production

"David is unlike any guitar teacher I have worked with. He pays close attention to details like finger placement of guitar hold and listens carefully to correct any bad habits, posture, or form. Sometimes you are used to playing a certain way and don't notice some bad form or habits and he's able to diagnose sound issues. David is also great at being encouraging and suggesting ways of playing that makes sense for each song. He customizes the lesson so that you feel good about playing. He makes playing really fun and what seemed hard before, he helps to make it easy. He helps you feel like a rockstar after a few lessons. I highly recommend David!
