Eric Bressler

Eric Bressler is a Certified 5th Degree Instructor. He began his training at Duvall's Academy of Martial Arts in February 2006, only about a year after the formation of AIMHI. Along the way he had the honor of becoming the very first 3rd degree black belt that had trained, and tested, exclusively under the AIMHI banner. Instructor Bressler attained Certified 4th Degree Instructor in March of 2018 as part of a larger event featuring several other high rank testers.  The very next week he started a new business in, and moved back to, his hometown of Rock Port.  The next step in his hapkido journey became apparent.  With the blessing of Grandmaster Duvall, Bressler's Academy of Martial Arts had it's first class in January 2019.  A small group of students took that challenge and now form the core of our ever growing ranks.  In May 2023, Instructor Bressler achieve the rank of Certified 5th Degree Instructor, marking another milestone in his ongoing hapkido journey.
