I’M BACK HOME AFTER 22 YEARS IN JAPAN AND ASIA.
(I’m pictured front above, the Head Instructor with Jr. Instructors in Japan).
Carrsville (Walter’s Club) Starts Soon!!
Starting Thursday September 19, 2024!
Small group classes only.
(Ages 10 and up).
FYI – This is probably not what you think or have been exposed to, i.e. Strip Mall Schools, TV, Movies, typical “Americanized” unregulated “takes” on the martial arts. etc.
We are authentic, licensed and approved by the Japanese and Singapore governments.
Most schools in America are sport or the current Fad styles.
Even though many schools have a self defense version, often many of these self defense versions are either overkill, or not realistic, practicing paused techniques, or just not applicable to the real the world of no rules, drugged-out violent career criminals, speed and unpredictability.
This is based on many things we have witnessed by visiting schools, youtube videos, and talking to students.
Most of these self-defense systems are controlled conditions, slow, paused punches or knives, or based on willing participants, TV and movies, or just plain out fantasy and delusion.
Many would never work in the Real World!
Red Flags– Grappling, ground sports, can be effective in school yard alterations and other non life threatening alterations, it can be a fun physical “chess” game to some, but at the end of the day, it’s a sport.
– Many Strip-mall schools: Window trophies, mixed Asian language names, contracts, are other red flags of a sport or fad-style.
– Grand titles, questionable associations or memberships trying to seem legitimate. Lineage and claims should be checked.
– Aggressiveness, bragging, lack of humility, claiming special powers, multiple style black belts, expensive, fast track black belt programs, and a general lack of a calm demeanor are signs of a fake teacher/master.
-In America, anyone can claim to be a master and teach what they claim to be martial arts, because it isn’t regulated and licensed by a legitimate Government approved Association.
However, it is highly regulated in Asia, especially, Japan and Singapore, designed to weed out the phonies and wanna-bes.
– Just because they’re Asian, doesn’t mean they are authentic. That’s a racial stereotype. Some try to jump on the bandwagon, some not very skilled, all in the name of appearing legit in the unregulated United States, where they’re many parents throwing money for their kid’s wellbeing, yet not knowing that some are not what they seem, and some could do more damage.
– Some instructors, claim to be almost Navy seal-like, or Special Forces-like, but only did basic training and served in general military and nothing out of the ordinary.
Remember, research your school.
Bad teachers make bad students and bad students make bad teachers.
– A false sense of security, taking a sport to a street confrontation, can get you killed.
– Trophies, Belts, Awards mean NOTHING in the real world. The trophy is your LIFE!
Master Plewes has lived, trained, taught in Asia for 22 YEARS. (Japan, Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia).
Additionally, most styles make you conform, (Because sport focused), therefore making it a young and healthy person’s activity.
What we teach is not a sport.
No mats to wrestle on, we trained in the real world of asphalt, glass riddled alleys and hard ground.
If we end up on the dangerous ground, we react very seriously.
We start with street tips, avoiding, deescalating skills.
Next, escapes, controlling and arrest, survival to multiple attackers.
HAVE A LIMITATION OR DISABILITY?
THINK YOU’RE TOO OLD?
OUT OF SHAPE? NO PROBLEM.
Unlike most schools that make you conform to certain maneuvers or physical tricks, we don’t!
We teach a style of 5 animals, all of which have different methods and concepts.
Our style conforms around YOU!
Your abilities and lack of.
Health and longevity exercises are part of our training.
