In a constant effort to provide the highest quality training, I have obtained the National Academy of Sports Medicine’s Certfied Personal Training accreditation.

Come practice NBJ. It’ll be awesome for you.

Great stuff as always from Iain Abernethy.

Scott Tucker and Dan Clark - getting you psyched for level II?

We had fun hitting Bob with the slow-motion turned on, definitely something we're going to do more often!

One combination 2 ways. The first way we move into the opponent to break down their foundation, close distance and be ready to keep the pressure on. The second way we use rotation to generate power and maintain a little more distance.

As a bonus, the switch-stance (for me) straight caps off the video.

Today I introduced another of my warriors, Scott, to interception. To get used to the concept we get fed a basic strike and cut it off with a hit. He doesn't let not being able to feel or articulate his feet slow him down.

In Nami Bujutsu level 1 the focus is on winning the initial counter. Angular movement, the ability to read, high percentage first hits are all critical. This sen-no-sen and tai-no-sen concept is where it's at.

You may have also heard of "The Way of the Intercepting Fist"... you know, Jeet Kun Do?...Bruce Lee thought this was a pretty good idea too.

Some no-gi hip tosses. Introduced in Level 1 Stage 3.

Dan is a warrior. He constantly pushes through chronic conditions to come train with me and has been doing an awesome job. As a reward, we used some tiny puzzle mats he donated to the dojo to cradle our bodies.

Video has no sound.

An excellent demo of one of the forms learned in level 2. Lots of good applications and skills in here, can you find them?

Lovely explanation of application for movements found in Heian Sandan.

The standard front choke is one of many HAPV (Habitual Acts of Physical Violence). Movements 9-11 can be used to defend against such an attack. Music credit:...
