Training
When a student is training, it doesn't mean breaking boards,
doing kembangan until you're bored out of your mind, or
sparring with heavy pads on. From the beginning, what
the Martial Arts are all about to me is fighting to win,
fighting to protect your honor, your family, and maybe your
land. By summarizing my life long practice and teaching
experience in Martial Arts, I have never stopped listening
or learning. I learned a lot from skilled street fighters
and from systems not for trophies, belts, or stress relief.
I train my students in a system that is geared for survival
fighting and for developing mental toughness. We
train the toughest hand to hand combat. In the world
of Martial Arts, if somebody tells you that they are
undefeated, it probably means one of two things. One
being that they are lying or, second, having not been in
enough tough fights. However, I have the greatest
respect for my students. As a personal principle,
I do not put people down. I strongly believe in
treating people the way you yourself want to be treated.
I always and need to learn the best from other fighting
systems. The day you stop learning is the day you
should quit. I survived two wars and I thank God
for giving me my strength and my health.
