At the beginning of my career in law enforcement—over twenty-three years ago—I was already an accomplished martial artist, with a black belt in wado ryu karate, a black belt in chuan fa kajukenbo, and black belts in both tae kwon do and hapkido. I had studied judo, aikido, kenpo, northern and southern shaolin, tai chi, pa kua and hsing i, just to name a few. Since then I have been all over the world—from France, Indonesia, China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan to Brazil, Belgium, Hawaii, and New Zealand—trying to find martial arts techniques that could be applied in a law enforcement environment. For the past eight years, I have taught law enforcement officers defensive techniques based on the best the martial arts world has to offer. I have taught cadets; custody officers; patrol officers; SWAT teams; security officers; state, local, and federal law enforcement agencies; chaplains; and women’s and community groups, just to name a few.
