The one question that I have had the hardest time answering is how much I will charge for classes. i have decided that, in the spirit of wanting to share our diminishing resources, that I will accept barter as the primary unit of payment for classes. So if you are interested in classes, please consider what you are willing to barter per hour of instruction wanted.

Here is a list of individual courses that I currently offer:

Aikido, Taijutsu. The unarmed techniques of Aikido
Aikido, Kenjutsu. The sword techniques of Aikido
Aikido, Jojutsu. The staff techniques of Aikido
Kali. A Filipino martial art that teaches you how to use and protect yourself with any weapon, and also includes empty handed techniques.
jeet Kune Do. A set of principles based on your own personal abilities that draws from several martial arts.
CCQT: Civilian Close Quarter Tactics. A system I developed when I was a member of The Guardian Angels to train the volunteers for safety patrols.

Expect to train outdoors and one on one. Expect to train during the day, with some afternoons/evenings available for a slightly higher barter fee. Sundays all day available for a slightly higher barter fee.

As far as what to barter: Be creative and show my your talents as well. We all have resources and talents at our disposal, and I’m willing to listen to any idea you may have.

Spread the word and let me know.

Cheers!

I have a new morning regimen.  Basically, it’s four days of martial arts, two days of weightlifting.  Today, we went over some Panantukan (the boxing art in Kali) and Aikijo.

  • Panantukan: Jab-Cross Counters series
  • Aikijo: Kumijo 1 ~ 3, and linking 1 ~ 3 together for a longer Kumijo
  • Aikijo: 31 Kumijo 1-6 with the standard variations

The solutions that came up for linking the Kumijo were as interesting as they were instructive, and I will detail them later, when I have more time.

My basic plan is to get twice as good as I am now at martial arts in one year, and to be completely ripped in six months.  Look out world – here I come.
