Rock Solid Kenpo Jiu-Jitsu ‘The Art of Self-Defense’

Rock Solid Martial Arts is Bellingham, Washington’s #1 Self-Defense Training Center.

We build strong, powerful, and confident students.
Most people train techniques.

The ones who actually defend themselves train themselves first.

Before the strike.

Before the strategy.

Before “this is how we always do it.”

You already have a personal stream, the things you know about yourself before you ever step into a fight or a class. At the top of that stream is how you are wired under pressure:
Your dominant eye leads.
Your dominant ear actually listens.
Your dominant leg is your gauging leg.
Your dominant arm dominates. The other arm helps.

That combination is your phone number.

Dial the wrong one, in how you move, how you teach, how you think, and nobody picks up. Especially not you, when it counts.

Under pressure you do not become someone else.

You snap back to who you already are.

Nothing about that is “natural.” It is how you are built, plus how you have lived.

So we do not force every student into the same right-side, same-sequence box.

We tailor the art to the person.

We learn the stream first.

Then we put competence on top of it.

Confidence is not a feeling you talk yourself into.

It is what shows up when your training matches the person who will have to use it.

That principle was brought into the martial arts — and applied under real pressure — by Senior Grand Master Skip Hancock.

We train in that lineage.

Know your stream.

Train your art.

Defend your life.

6AM Rock Solid Badass Warrior Fighters Fitness Club

Today’s shout-out goes to Naghi.

On his 70th birthday, his gift to himself wasn’t something he could unwrap.

It was walking into Rock Solid Martial Arts and joining the 6AM Badass Warrior Fighters.

Then he did the hard part.

He kept showing up.

Five days a week.

His spirit is contagious.

His attitude lights up the floor.

People don’t just notice him, they talk about the joy he brings.

Naghi does not live by Motivation.

He does not live by Discipline.

He lives by a higher law:

Self Discipline.

That’s the standard.

That’s the example.

Happy Birthday, Warrior.

You didn’t just join the club.

You raised it.

Show up like Naghi.

The Sisterhood ‘The Art of Women’s Self-Defense’

Rock Solid Martial Arts

Bellingham, Washington’s #1 Self-Defense Training Center

Building strong, powerful, and confident women.

In The Sisterhood, our female Black Belt Instructors Penny, Kimberly, and Elle, teach the Kenpo Scope.

The Kenpo Scope is a chart that shows the WHAT of Self-Defense.

At the center is Attitude.

Next comes Logic.

Logic is how you think through a problem when it is happening, not after.

The Master Key to Logic is the Three Points of View:
1. Your point of view
2. Your opponent’s point of view
3. The bystander’s point of view

Most people only train one of those.

They see the grab.

They miss what he is about to do next.

They miss what else can go wrong.

One piece of Logic will replace a thousand Basics.
Basics give you tools.

Logic tells you which tool belongs in this moment.

Why does this matter for a woman defending herself?

Because a real attack is not a rehearsal. It changes.
• You see what you need
• You see what he is trying to do
• You see what you must not ignore
• You stop memorizing a story and start solving the one in front of you
• You stay able to change when the situation changes

Attitude gets you engaged.

Logic keeps you from guessing.

That is what Penny, Kimberly, and Elle teach in The Sisterhood.

Practical. Principle-based. Built for real life.

Strong. Powerful. Confident.

That’s what we build here.

The Sisterhood ‘The Art of Women’s Self-Defense’

Rock Solid Martial Arts

Bellingham, Washington’s #1 Self-Defense Training Center

Building strong, powerful, and confident women.

In The Sisterhood, our female Black Belt Instructors, Penny, Kimberly, and Elle, teach the Kenpo Scope.

The Kenpo Scope is a chart that shows the WHAT of Self-Defense.

At the center of that chart is Attitude.

Attitude is the first 50% of the art.

It is first , and it runs through everything else.

On the Kenpo Scope, Attitude sits at the core.

Around it come Logic, Basics, and Fitness.

Those four make the nucleus of the art.

Forms, techniques, and sets are ways to train that core.

They are not a substitute for it.

Attitude is the arrangement of your body, or your opponent’s body.

It is a mental position or feeling toward your Environment, your situation, your predicament, or your opponent.

Attitude is always toward something.

Not “Do I have a good attitude?”

“What is my attitude toward this?”

The Master Key to Attitude is the Physiological State of Engagement.

You must be the first to control Attitude.

Fear is a warning signal.

Anxiety is believing you do not have the skills to cope.

Self-Confidence is believing you do.

Why does this empower a woman defending herself?

Because a real attack tests Attitude before it tests technique.
• You arrange your body and mind toward the problem instead of collapsing into it
• You engage instead of freezing
• You treat fear as information, not as a command to quit
• You stop waiting for the “right technique” and start using what you already have
• Self-confidence is built on skill, and skill is what we train here

A woman does not need a long form to defend herself.

She needs Attitude first, then Logic, Basics, and Fitness.

That is what Penny, Kimberly, and Elle teach in The Sisterhood.

Practical. Principle-based.

Built for real life.

Strong. Powerful. Confident.

That’s what we build here.

Rock Solid Kenpo Jiu-Jitsu ‘The Art of Self-Defense’

Rock Solid Martial Arts is Bellingham, Washington’s #1 Self-Defense Training Center.

Self-Defense. Fighting. Jiu-Jitsu. Weapons.

We don’t teach a pile of techniques and hope you remember the right one under pressure.

We teach a complete self-defense system built on solid Concepts and Principles, then we put them to work with:
• Strategies — your master plan to overcome the opponent
• Tactics — the methods that fulfill that plan
• Teaching Attitude — because Attitude is first, and it is 50% of the art
• Logic — the 3 Points of View: yours, theirs, and the bystander’s
• Fitness — spiritual, perceptual, emotional, mental, and physical
• Basics — hammer, whip, thrust, launch, be neutral

And we use Skip Hancock Cycle of Considerations the formula that takes everything you know and puts it in the exact order you need to succeed and dominate a self-defense situation.

Attitude first.

Then you consider.

Then you act.

We build Strong, Powerful, and Confident Students.
Only simplicity works under pressure.

One piece of Logic replaces a thousand Basics.

You must be first to control Attitude, Environment, and Position.

This is not sport.

This is the Art of Self-Defense.

Come train the system.

Don’t just collect moves.

6 AM Badass Warrior Fighter Fitness — Wednesday Check-in

This workout exists because I needed it.

I built it to take my own skills and fitness to the next level for 6th degree.

Then I opened the door and invited others to train with me.

What I didn’t expect was the joy that hits after the last round.

That feeling never gets old.

This morning every muscle in my body was screaming that it was sore and needed rest.

Self-discipline stepped in and said, “You’re doing it anyway.”

I did.

Now I feel fantastic.

That’s why I don’t wait on motivation.

I rely on self-discipline.

Today’s session:
• Jump rope
• Joint mobility + yoga
• Box breathing
• Striking warm-ups and maneuvers
• 100 Rock Solid Fighter Combos
• Kettlebells (including Turkish Get-Ups)
• Core
• Cool-down

We don’t just sweat.

We forge the whole warrior, body, mind, and spirit.
See you at 6.

1-2-3… YES I CAN ROCK SOLID!

The Sisterhood ‘The Art of Women’s Self-Defense’

Rock Solid Martial Arts | Bellingham, Washington’s #1 Self-Defense Training Center

Building strong, powerful, and confident women.

In The Sisterhood, our female Black Belt Instructors, Penny, Kimberly, and Elle, teach Skip Hancock’s Principles of Motion.

These principles turn theory into practical tools that work when it matters most.

Today we focus on Power (Principle of Motion #11).

Skip Hancock places Power in the Intention State, after Coordination and Focus.

The first eight principles are trained in the Attention State.

Then Coordination ( #9) synchronizes (1) Body, (2) Mind, and (3) Breath.

Focus ( #10) concentrates (1) Body, (2) Mind, and (3) Breath.

Power is what happens when those three stay synchronized and concentrated through the action.

Intention guides attention.

Intention, not in tension.

Power is not forcing harder.

Power is Body, Mind, and Breath arriving as one.

Why is this so valuable for a woman defending herself?

Because a real attack often comes from someone larger or stronger. Raw size is not the only source of power.

Skip’s teaching gives you another way:
• You do not have to overpower someone with muscle alone
• You stop leaking energy through a scattered mind, a late breath, or a tight body
• Your whole person arrives at the same instant
• You stay calm enough to use what you already trained
• The first ten principles finally have somewhere to go

Power is the result of the work — not a replacement for it.

This is the kind of training we do in The Sisterhood.

Practical.

Principle-based.

Built for real life.

Strong. Powerful. Confident.

That’s what we build here.
