Introduction: I teach according the the Five Principles!
I am a 50-year old martial artist and an inductee into the Masters Hall of Fame, the Legends Hall of Fame and the USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame. My system is listed under the umbrella of Dux Ryu Ninjitsu. I have rank in Goju Ryu, and have also formally studied Kyudo, Kung Fu, Tang Soo do, Isshin Ryu and many other Budo forms.
Five Birds Martial Arts is unique in that it is the only one that starts with the needs, strengths, and weaknesses of the student and expands from there using Concept Training techniques that have been developed by me. These concepts can be applied to any endeavor, as is referenced in my recently released Life Skills text, THE FIVE PRINCIPLES OF EVERYTHING.
I have a column on the WorldWideDojo website entitled "Legends and Legacies", which I co-write with Frank Dux. We have been working to redefine martial arts training to be more closely associated with the original intent of the ancient teachers...martial arts for the sake of becoming better people. To that end, I work mostly as a broker, to find a suitable teacher/trainer that is local to you and with whom you can build a proper student-teacher relationship. However, I DO teach Education, Tai Chi, Composition, publishing, film and video productions, and massage classes for many other organizations. I own and operate Five Birds Productions and Five Birds Publishing through my umbrella company, Five Birds Industries.
