- Focus on fundamentals: The school prioritizes strong foundational skills, leading to rapid progress for students of all levels.
- Emphasis on real-world application: Training incorporates practical self-defense techniques, including situational awareness, proper mindset, and the use of anatomical targeting (Kyusho Jitsu).
Here's what my clients have to say
"I found Sensei Bast to be an very knowledgeable and experienced martial artist. Also, I really like the way he teaches and can express his knowledge to other. I went to a seminar of his and I'm a very slow learner. I would have to say, Sensei Bast taught in a way that I could pick up the info easily."
