what people say about us

James Wheeler

One of the attributes I prize the most training to obtain the level of Nidan is advanced skill level This is important because it provides entry to a new realm of possibilities within the Martial Arts and my personal development Along with developing advanced skill level is the discipline mindset tenacity self-control and lightening quick decision making especially during times of stress that makes it so important My job sometimes requires me to use the skills I have obtained and as the level of violence escalates I have found myself needing a greater toolbox in which to provide safety for myself and my co-workers while not injuring those who are being violent Properly de-escalating a situation comes in many forms from verbal non-verbal and sometimes physical when the other pathways have failed Enhancing my skill level will greatly assist me across the board in dealing with what can be very intense and potentially dangerous situations
