Soke/Master Jonathan A. French (2015 Martial Art Welcome to the US Combat Dojo. We train in martial arts because it helps us with respect, self-control, discipline, confidence, and patience; it helps us improve our inner self, our pride, our concentration, and our relationship with other people. We do not train to fight, we train so we don't have to fight, but we will be ready if it happens. The difference between a fighter and a martial artist is that a fighter has to fight, it's what they train for. A martial artist trains for him or herself, and never stops training because they always aim for unreachable perfection. To be a real Martial Artist, you must treat your martial art style and your life with humility, respect and honor. -Soke/Master Jonathan A. French (2015 Martial Art Hall of Fame Master of the Year Inductee) (2016 Martial Art Hall of Fame School of the Year Inductee) Master Jonathan A. French Master Black belt in ITF Taekwondo Soke/Master of Joshiki Self Defense Soke/Master Black Belt in Kang Shi Do Master Black Belt in U.S. Guntai-Shu Martial Arts Black Belt in MMA Karate Black Sash in Praying Mantis Kung Fu Founder and Master/Chief Instructor of U.S. Combat Dojo Founder and CEO of the Association of Martial Artists World Wide, www.amaww.com Theory of Power Reaction force Concentration Equilibrium Breath control Mass Speed History of Joshiki and Kang Shi Do These are American martial arts styles developed by Master Jonathan A. French and some of his black belts from 2009 to 2013 that combines techniques from many different martial arts such as Jiu-jitsu, Taekwondo, Aikido, Krav Maga, Karate, Hapkido, Kung Fu, etc. Master French put his own little twist on each move so it will be designed it to be effective in real world self-defense situations and street fights and focusing on defending against larger or more aggressive opponents. Master French believes that it shouldn't take many moves to take an attacker down no matter what the size or weight of the attacker. Joshiki is a defense only martial art to help allow the victim in a attack to get away. Kang Shi Do was created as an aggressive full contact martial art style focusing on using the most dangerous martial art weapon on earth, the human body. The moves were created so Master French's 10 year old son can use on someone over twice his size. That is what students will learn from these martial art courses. Joshiki and Kang Shi Do helps us promote self control, discipline, confidence, patience, and respect. These art forms can help us physically, and also helps us change our perspectives of how we see the world. Joshiki Self Defense and Kang Shi Do were created so more people can feel comfortable in a world like ours. Neither of these styles are not being taught to learn how to attack someone, but it is being taught to know how to defend yourself and get away which everybody should know how to do. Policies and Procedures 1. Techniques taught in class are not to be applied out of the Dojang/Dojo unless circumstances involving your safety or the safety of others are overriding. You should always avoid or walk away from a situation whenever possible. 2. Execute a bow of courtesy upon meeting your instructor or a ranking black belt. 3. Remove shoes and put in the designated area. Don’t walk on the training floor with shoes. 4. Respect other people’s property and belongings. 5. The Dobok/Gi (uniform) must be always be neat and clean (odor free), with patches in proper placement. Class T-Shirts may be worn as your uniform top during class, a full Dobok/Gi must be worn for tests and demos. 6. Always practice good personal hygiene habits. Keep your fingernails and toenails trimmed. 7. Remove all jewelry before entering class (wedding rings may be worn, be careful if you have a big diamond). 8. Respect the class that is in session. Lower the volume of your conversation if you’re early. 9. Enter class with energy and demonstrate your enthusiasm for learning. Practice should be vigorous; however, inform your instructors if you become fatigued. 10. Strict attention is to be given to the instructor at all times. 11. No vulgarities or obscene language is allowed. Loss of temper, loud laughing, talking, horseplay, or any display of a lack of self-discipline will not be tolerated in class. 12. No gum chewing, smoking, food, or sugary drinks, allowed in the Dojang/Dojo. Keep drinks to water or a sport drink for hydration. 13. All students should be on time for class. The instructor understands that parents have other obligations and maybe late. If a student arrives late, stand to the side of the class and wait for permission.

Please notify your instructor when you can if you will be absent. 15. Your belt must be tied properly. Never wrap your belt around your neck, drag it on the floor, or handle your belt in any manner that displays disrespect.

  • THE HISTORY of TAEKWONDO by Glen R
    THE HISTORY OF TAEKWONDO By Glen R. Morris A Report for Recommendation Black Belt Testing 1994 Before I get into the history of Taekwondo, I would like to define what it means. I read the definition from many books and the one that I like best comes from the book Comprehensive Asian Fighting Arts (1) written by Donn F. Draeger and Robert W. Smith. "Taekwondo is an empty-hand combat form that entails the use of the whole body. Tae means "to Kick" or "Smash with the feet," Kwon implies "punching" or "destroying with the hand or fist," and Do means "way" or "method." Taekwondo thus, is the technique of unarmed combat for self defense that involves the skillful application of techniques that include punching, jumping kicks, blocks, dodges, parrying actions with hands and feet. It is more than a mere physical fighting skill, representing as it does a way of thinking and a pattern of life requiring strict discipline. It is a system of training both the mind and the body in which great emphasis is placed on the development of the trainee's moral character." Taekwondo is a martial art that in "todays" form of self defense has evolved by combining many different styles of martial arts that existed in Korea over the last 2,000 years and some martial arts styles from countries that surround Korea. Taekwondo incorporates the abrupt linear movements of Karate and the flowing, circular patterns of Kung-fu with native kicking techniques. Over fifty typically Chinese circular hand movements can be identified in modern Taekwondo.(1) A few of the earlier martial arts styles that contributed to Taekwondo are: T'ang-su, Taek Kyon, also known as Subak, Tae Kwon, Kwonpup and Tae Kwonpup.

  • Summer, 2020 No. 88
    WTSDA & WTSDF Summer, 2020 2436 Hanford Road Burlington, NC 27215 No. 88 Message from the Grandmaster WTSDA in 2020 s you all are aware, we are facing an unprecedented global situation with the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. ABecause so much remains unknown on how to contain its rapid spread of infection, many governments have enacted restrictions related to gathering in groups and to enforcing “social distancing” in order to slow its infection rate. It appears that our members worldwide are adhering to the guidelines prescribed by the medical professionals and government entities and as of today we have no members who have reported being infected by the virus. The health and safety of all WTDSA members and their family is of vital importance. Continue your vigilance to stay healthy. We will begin meeting again when this pandemic is resolved or perhaps disappears. In the meantime, the Executive and Governance Committees along with the Board of Directors have been monitoring the situation and have announced the cancelation of WTSDA sanctioned events. These include Regional Dan testing, studio Gup testing, championships, Black Belt camps, periodic clinics, and the 2020 World Championship. These decisions are a disappointment to all of us, especially to those who have trained so hard to prepare to test for Gup, Dan and Master’s rank, to receive rank promotions, to teach and to share knowledge. However, the health and safety of our WTSDA family must come first. You will have another opportunity, there will be another testing and there will be more championships. These are difficult times, and no one is certain how long they will last.
