TRADITION MEETS THE STREETS SEMINARS

As a bouncer and bodyguard E. T. Thompson has been in THOUSANDS of hands on encounters. Thompson was a personal bodyguard for such celebrities as Madonna, Will Smith and Arnold Schwarzenegger. The duties of a professional bodyguard transcend getting your client from point A to point B. The children, spouse and employees of the client are also in the purview. This is why his approach has proven reliability for surviving and avoiding a wide variety of conflicts for people of all walks of life. What Thompson teaches is based on experience pure and simple.

Thompson is considered by many to be one of the most intuitive thinkers on the subject of  surviving violent assault and personal safety today. He has taught police, military, special ops (hand to hand), martial artists and civilians around the world. 

Thompson's approach uses basic fundamentals coupled with the principles inherit in most martial arts to transform vital self defense skills into natural reactions on the street. It's a combination of formal martial arts and principles from real life experience, supported by research into the areas of psychology, criminology, sociology and legal use of force. Through his expanded study Thompson has learned to embrace most styles of martial arts and has made it his life’s work to explore the original principles at the core of most arts. 

Why you should attend:
 

No matter the style most martial arts are rooted in the same basic principles and desired effects. The training that Thompson has experienced around the world has given him unique insight into the use and effectiveness of most traditional martial arts. This is an opportunity to train in all the aspects of your particular art and explore how your kata or forms contains all the information needed for effective self- protection. Go beyond theory for hands-on practical application with a world-renowned practitioner.
