Hey all,
I’m Brandon and I’ve been teaching martial arts for ~22 years now and have trained in quite a few styles.
Over the years I found there are things I liked and disliked about a lot of systems that I have studied. More often than not, the biggest thing I disliked was the unnecessary politics in the system. I also was not a fan of more sports based systems.
In 2015 I founded the Modern Martial Arts Society (MMAS) which is an international A-political organization that is dedicated to assisting martial artists world-wide. MMAS is dedicated to assist and aid martial artists in their martial journey and promotes students purely based off of merit.
MMAS was primarily created as the governing agency for Seiyo-Ryu Aikibujutsu, which is a martial arts system that I founded at the same time, but any system or individual may join the organization. MMAS is primarily for martial arts systems that are primarily rooted in and teach self-defense and warfare. The organization strives to make practical self-defense education accessible globally and conducts periodic seminars. The organization’s website is is currently being updated and can be found Here.
I currently hold ranking in the following systems:
Seiyo-Ryu Aikibujutsu, Founder
5th Dan, Tae Kwon Do, Master
4th Dan, Modern Arnis, Master
3rd Dan, Hapkido, Instructor
Assistant Maestro (Blue Shirt), Derobio Eskrima Jungle Style (~2nd Dan)
2nd Dan, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Instructor
1st Dan, San Shu Kai Budo Karate, Instructor
1st Dan, Daito-Hakko Jujutsu, Instructor
Instructor, Muay Thai
Instructor, Kickboxing
Instructor, Boxing
I’m looking forward to some interesting topics and conversations!
