High Master Aquila has trained martial arts extensively since 1999 logging over 20,000 hours of study directly under the late Imperial Grandmaster Tien Lung by 2010 at which time he held Master ranks in 16 distinct combat martial arts and 8 weapon systems. 

High Master Aquila and other Imperial Combat Arts instructors train and teach these arts today in Englewood, CO running classes over 25 hours each week. The Imperial Combat Arts school is dedicated to keeping these effective and proven battlefield arts available to the general public.
