Triadic Martial Arts: News

Congrats to Mr. Robinson on his promotion to 4th Degree Black Belt, Senior Instructor in the art of Kenpo under the guidance of Senior Professor Paul Dyer 7thDan (IKKA) of Dakota Dragon Defense. He has worked hard to improve upon his understanding and performance of this art and we are very proud of him!

Last night after successfully completing the requirements of Kihon, Kumite, and Tameshiwari and more, I had the honor of promoting my long time friend and training partner Mr. Quinn Willoughby to the rank of Nidan 2nd Degree Black Belt in Freestyle Karate-Jutsu!! He has held the rank of Chodan in Soo Bahk Do since 95' and has trained in Judo, Brazilian JuJutsu and Muay Thai along with the various arts of the Makoto Kinjo Ryu since then. Along with being a fine martial artist he is also a nutrition and fitness specialist advisor for the Brotherhood of Triadic Arts. A truly valued member of our family. Osu!

I would like to thank everyone who came out to the Blade Smart Tactical Knife workshop! We had a great time covering many aspects of using the blade for self defense and improving body mechanics with various drills. All participants found the material quite useful. I look forward to the next event!

Michael Robinson just returned from New York City on his voyage to train with his Filipino Kali instructor Barry "Cuda" Yedwabnick. This was a intense two day instructor certification seminar covering Knife fighting, stick fighting as well as dual knife, and knife plus stick! Barry's knowledge of JKD/ Kali is very in depth and combat orientated. Mr. Robinson earned his Kali Level 1 and Blade Smart tactical knife certification and is excited to start scheduling private as well as group lessons. Contact us today with any questions you may have.

One Sunday the 25th we attended the "Taste of Clarkston" annual event in our local area. This event continually brings in 100,000s of spectators to visit various vendors from the community. Triadic Martial Arts represented to the fullest performing approximately 5 demonstrations throughout the day covering the wide array of Martial Arts styles and skill sets offered at our school/ gym. We drew a few rather big crowds and everyone that participated did a really excellent job. If you happened to check out any of our performances please stop on out and visit our location or give us a call and receive a FREE intro lesson!

It is through our genuine desire to grow and share as martial artists that this mutual cooperation is made possible! NINPO IKKAN!

I attended the American Kwan Tang Soo Do seminar with Master Ross this past Saturday and it was some really great training. We worked on a ton of kicks and fundamentals followed by the introduction of 3 new kwan forms as well a a new Bo Kata! It was really great to learn and train directly with GrandMaster James Saffold and many top masters, I thank them for their hospitality. I was also awarded my 3rd Dan in Way of the Master Tang Soo Do by Master Ross in a private ceremony at our Dojo it was quite an honor. A great day of training and fellowship!
