On Saturday, Jan, 23,2010 Professor Mark Bryans delivered what I considered to be outstanding, highly educational and professional knife seminar which included unarmed tactics along with knife defense and offensive tactics. The 6 hour curriculum was exquisitely presented and I was fortunate enough to participate in such an invaluable instructional course. Prof. Byrans is, and always has been, one of the most motivational and inspiring self-defense instructors I have ever known, and the tactics taught (and well received) were to be held in the same high regard as those of the late John Styers and Col. Rex Applegate.Without the use of ego and Rambo machismo, Prof. Bryans was able to captivate, read and direct his students to a better understanding and knowledge base of real world self defense. For those "in the know", the use of offensive and sometimes defensive knife tactics are an invaluable life-preserving curricula. I can truly say Prof. Byrans saved lives after that Sat., or in the near future, of those who participated and the ones they love.
I would like to thank Prof. Mark Bryans for allowing me to participate as an active student in his class that day and I look forward to future lessons.
For anyone who lives in the AZ area, and wishes to learn life-saving self defense, either for themselves or their loved ones, I highly recommend contacting Prof. Bryans without reservation.
Sincerely,
Paul Fisher
Hi Paul,
I am extremely delighted to receive the e-mail below, although honestly I am not at all surprised. Mark is — exactly as you say — a wonderful, practical, thorough, and lucid teacher. I am extremely proud of him, and I can commend him and his teachings as being the epitome of that which American Combato (Jen•Do•Tao) can produce in a sufficiently motivated and dedicated individual. He passes the message on, and you are doubtless correct that his teachings certainly protect, if not in fact actually save, the lives of those who study with him.
Best always,
Brad
