Greetings Fellow Federationists, 

 

Mr. Rob Watson contacted me a week ago to let me know of the self-defense
training he offers and he was wondering if this might be something members
in our organization might want to learn.  I informed him that if he E-mailed
me the information, I would pass it on to all of you.  

 

You will notice in his message that he will travel to teach these classes.  

 

Also, is this something any of you would like to either see on our
convention agenda or as an activity on possibly Friday afternoon?  If so,
there will probably be a registration fee to cover his charge.  I know that
not much could be learned in such a short time, but it might be something
interesting to do.

History of my business:

I opened my first gym, The Art of Self Defense, in 2003 on Chestnut st in
Morgantown WV. I recently relocated to 462 Dunkard Ave in West Over WV a
little over a year and a half ago. I learned Tae Kwon Do and Jeet Kune Do
from one of Bruce Lee's students, Danny Anasanto, and one of Danny
Anasanto's pupils. I studied Jeet Kune Do for 3 years and Tae Kwon Do for 4
years.  I also learned a few Shaolin arts from a friend that was related to
a monk, who was certified to teach Shaolin Iron head, Monkey fist, Shaolin
shadow boxing, Snake style boxing, and drunken style boxing.  After studying
the Shaolin Arts I intensified my training with Jeet Kune Do to develop the
skills necessary to redirect any attacks so you are always in control of the
situation via defense.

What you teach:

I teach the following arts so they complement each other.

·         Jeet Kune Do

·         Wing chun

·         Muay Tai 

·         Aikido 

·         Greco Roman Wrestling 

·         Judo Tsu 

·         Snake style boxing 

·         Drunken style 

·         Shaolin shadow boxing 

·         Monkey fist 

·         Shaolin iron head 

 

Benefits to the blind of learning self-defense:

in a natural way to any dangerous situation.

·         Heighten senses and responses

focus.

·         Being able to feel comfortable knowing they can control their self
so they can control any situation.

·         Build a sense of happiness and knowledge through the process of
maturity and prosperity of tolerance.

·         The guardian will have a sense of peace knowing their
friend/family member can properly defend themselves.
