We offer Wrestling taught by Rodney Smith an Olympic Bronze Medalist in Greco Roman Wrestling. Rodney covers Greco Roman, Freestyle, Folkstyle and Wrestling for MMA in his program. Rodney is one of the most respected and sought after Wrestling coaches in the World today.
First of all our program foster respect for yourself and others, self-discipline, humility, assertiveness, and character development, and is an excellent method for acquiring overall physical fitness, improved strength, cardiovascular conditioning, weight management, and coordination. We offer a comprehensive approach to teaching and learning the martial arts. Our primary goal is to prepare each student for any encounter in the most realistic and effective way possible. This method teaches street applicable skills and trains the student within an environment that addresses natural, psychological responses of confrontation, such as fear, anger, etc… Students are exposed to offensive as well as defensive role playing to simulate potential encounters and are prepared to react ethically as well as decisively.
From our fitness programs to our martial arts programs, our instructors are dedicated to helping you and/or your family achieve your individual goals.
Martial arts are so popular because no other activity can provide the same results as martial arts for each individual participant. Whether your goals are self-confidence, self-defense, personal development, fitness, and flexibility or to earn a black belt, our school will take you there.
Our adult students really appreciate the differences between martial arts training and standard exercise programs.
Martial arts like an exercise program with a bonus! You learn to defend yourself while you get in shape.
Martial arts are well known for its stress relieving benefits. The emphasis on mind-body training goes far beyond the benefits of standard, health club type exercise programs.
I think the confidence building part of our program is what students appreciate the most. Nothing can take the place of the security in knowing that you can defend yourself, if you have to.
NOTICE: MARTIAL ARTS SHOULD ALWAYS BE USED IN AN ETHICALLY AND LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE MANNER
The Sento Method is a comprehensive approach to teaching and learning the martial arts.
The Key principles:
The primary goal of Sento is to prepare students for any encounter in the most realistic and effective way possible. This method teaches street applicable skills and trains the student within an environment that addresses natural, psychological responses of a real confrontation, such as fear, anger, etc…Students are exposed to realistic offensive and defensive role playing to simulate potentially dangerous encounters and each student is prepared to react ethically as well as decisively.
The Sento Method also fosters respect for yourself and others, self-discipline, humility, assertiveness, and character development, and is an excellent method for acquiring overall physical fitness, improved strength, cardiovascular conditioning, weight management, and coordination.
We cover the various concepts, and principles that make the Sento method such an effective self protection system. We assure you that if you consider, and apply these principles to your training you will see amazing improvements in your skill, and confidence. Throughout this outline you will see words like grappling, striking, environment, and psychological repeated throughout the 5 key principles. It is important however that you do not confuse ranges with arsenals, or arsenals with ingredients, etc… each principle is synergistic with the others, and they have similarities, yet they are distinct aspects of self protection. The manner in which we blend each principle together is important.
The 4 Phases of Self Defense are used to break down the stages of self-defense, and self-protection. They deal with how to prevent conflict, how to de-escalate hostile conflict, how to use the element of surprise to gain an advantage over the opposition, as well as how to go toe to toe with the opposition if need be. There are two stages of defense, pre-active, and active. Here is a list of the four phases.
The 7 Ranges are taught so that we can control distance, gauge distance, use distance as a strategic tool, and recognize the tactical options available to us in certain ranges.
The 7 Ranges of self defense are as follows:
The 7 M.A.T. involves a sufficient level of understanding, and skill in all of the arsenals of realistic self defense, as well as the various tools (or weapons) of these arsenals. Each of the seven main arsenals has offensive and defensive tools.
7 M.A.T. includes;
R.I.O.T. (realistic ingredients of training) for practical mixed martial arts is used to teach us the isolated ingredients involved in developing a complete warrior. It teaches the practitioner that we must learn more than just a bunch of moves to be complete warriors. Here is a list of the ingredients that must be addressed for complete development.
The Tactical Checklist is a generic procedural outline for training, and developing practical tactics. The basic formula for the tactical checklist is as follows;
After you mentally grasp this information you must internalize and personalize it. If you teach self-defense you must appropriate the approach to using and teaching this material. Although the principles hold true, the approach will vary from person to person. You can appropriate, or customize skills for students based on age, gender, job responsibilities, physical challenges, etc… Everybody who learns this material should realize that they have a responsibility that goes beyond their teacher, to adapt this information, and system to suit their personal style of living. I don’t know what your daily routine is like, but you do, or what your hidden fears are, but you do. You can use the concepts taught in the following chapters to bring more reality into your training, and as a barometer with which to evaluate your strengths, weaknesses, and current training methods. The complete reality based martial artist will not compromise on reality.
