The "SAF-T- WRENCH". . . Pure Brilliance !!!!!


Wow !!!!! Just in a "nick of time", the "SAF-T-WRENCH" by Datu Kelly S. Worden has arrived to put a new spin on a popular but well regarded "fist load" !!! It's a combination of a Dulo Dulo, Pasak (Filipino) and Yawara (Japanese) all rolled into one !!! I got mine two days ago from Shomer-Tec and man, the possibilities are endless !!! And it really stays secure in your hand with no tight or binded feel to it !!!! Just totally comfortable !!!!! For those of you who don't know, Datu Kelly S. Worden is a Martial Arts Master and maker of brilliant low profile self defense aids. The first of his great designs that I recall was the Impact Kerambit which had total success at my Dojo and among others who train and wanted a nice convenient self defense tool. The "SAF-T-WRENCH" was easily adapted to our Yawara and hand held defense loads. I was able to manipulate the tool very well within two hours of maneuvering it in my hand. When I struck some wooden boards laying on top of one another the tool felt real good in my hand when I struck down on the boards (using a hammer fist) and decimated them !!! My hand held firm with no pain at all. The "knuckle guard" of this weapon was very impressive as well. When I punched through another set of boards, again I felt no pain and the tool did not break or fail.

So ladies and gentlemen you can add the "SAF-T-WRENCH" by Datu Kelly S. Worden to your list of excellent self defense tools that will be there for you when some fools want to act out of hand. Osu !!!!

Video review: WMAC-Blue Dragon Skills


Yes good folks it's fall again !!!! The beautiful air in NYC is very soothing and nice after a humid summer ! So while those of you who are coming back from vacation and are ready to return to work and or go back to school it would be prudent for you to add a unique education curriculum to enhance your life and well being. To add something extraordinary, to take yourself to new heights of achievement !!!

At the World Martial Arts Center under the meticulous tutelage of Sabumnim David Herbert and his highly exceptional black belt staff you will find the extraordinary as well as pushing yourself to new heights of achievement !!!!! This Dojang (training hall) has everything to assist you to progress in your martial and spiritual knowledge. But one of the most impressive things offered here is the World Martial Arts Center's dvd series to assist students in retaining and gaining the highly sophisticated joint locking, weaponry and special self defense techniques offered in Hapkido. My review will begin with the Blue Dragon Skills (Basic Forms, Drills, Techniques) dvd.

Synopsis of dvd.

The dvd is divided into four sections covering joint locks (Ship Gu techniques one through ten), ten sweeping techniques, then returning back to cover the first ten Ship Gu techniques with an extra eight techniques added (totalling eighteen altogether). And then finally two forms- Hap Ki Two and the Eight Step Breathing Form.

Review of dvd.

This very informative and well organised dvd is what is direly needed for novice and advanced students alike and Sabumnim Herbert knows how to teach it well with slow step by step progression of the techniques. Plus the video is shot from different angles which will help you out allot !! Sabumnim Herbert shows striking variations while applying the joint locks, sweeps and finishing holds.

The form Hapki Two is demonstrated by Jennifer Casseta, a 2nd Degree black belt under Sabumnim Herbert. And the final form Eight Step Breathing Form is demonstrated by Sabumnim Herbert. Both Forms are superbly demonstrated and easy to follow along for those taking the Hapkido classes at the WMAC Dojang as well as for novices to understand. This is good because for an individual to make a decision to train with Sabumnim Herbert, this dvd will give them a glimpse into the training and they'll see that they can learn the techniques if they put their mind and body to commit to the training regiment of the WMAC !!!!
