Thank You for visiting my site.
I have studied the Martial Arts
since 1973. I believe in good
instructors and good instruction,
but that instruction can come
from "any" one who has the
knowledge. This knowledge can
come from the finest training
hall(dojo) with all the bright
lights and the finest equipment
'or', from a barn in the country.
My class is not state of the art,
it is a one on one old fashioned
kind of class. If I can't touch
your hands, the class is too
large. This is why I keep the
class to no more than 5 people a
session.The class ranges from
age 18 on up. We are not the
most physically fit, but we are
willing to learn.The class is held
at a rate that is comfortable for
those in the class. I will share
skill's that will work no matter
what your physical level is. I
know I can teach you good self
defense from the barn that
I use as my Dojo. It is not a fancy place to train but I will make up for the dojo with the knowledge that will do the job!My class is by appointment only. There are no contracts, so you can quit at any time with out penalty. I monitor and evaluate every member personlly and work on your individual
strengths. The core of the class comes from the single stick, but we work on all the weapons needed to handle a physical confrontation. We use an empty hand skill that separates the P.K.S. method from most other self defense systems. Your elbows are far more powerfull than your fists, it is the combination of a chain of motion with your hands , and elbows in flow that will cut through an attack like a hot knife through butter that makes the P.K.S. system work. I must make this "clear" The weapon's are used to train the empty hand's. I do not want a weapon in my hands in terms of the law, but if you train with weapon's the empty hand "will" know what to do with or without weapon's.
the back bone is the Filipino
Arts, I use a very loose class
format but definitly have a structure. I teach P.K.S.methods and when the individual is ready, and (or) willing, I blend the student with other students. To bring about the reality of the unknown. The feel of a different person can easily throw you off. Ranking is as follows, Student member, Boot Student, Medio Student, Salt student, Full Instructor, if you dont learn how to protect your self and your loved ones you can quit at any time. First month is a free trial. You will know if it will work for you, in the first class. This is not M.M.A., this is street wise userfriendly and a practical self defense method that I have distilled from countless hours of classes, semiars, and training with my top students. My class is not for the general public, by this I mean that from the first class I will interview you, as you will interview me. You will know if I can import the art, and I will try and make sure you will use it for the right reason. I work for my living as a pressman. But, I live for the art. It usualy takes about 3 years to reach a point where you will stand on your own and start to realize your path in the arts, but you will be able to use the art within 1 month. You have nothing to lose, and a method of self defense to gain. I do private class as well, if your not into groups. If your not into "fancy" this school might be for you.
