STREET SELF DEFENSE TRAINING
STREET SELF DEFENSE TRAINING:
Now available for serious and experienced students/instructors with the proper character and ethics is training in STREET SELF DEFENSE. The STREET SELF DEFENSE TRAINING will include training in the best and most effective methods drawn from Chinese and Filipino Martial Arts, including open hand and weapons (legal street weapons). THE KEY TO STREET SELF DEFENSE IS NATURAL REACTION TRAINING. To quote the legendary Sword Saint, Miyamoto Musashi, “my fighting step is my walking step and my walking step is my fighting step.” Or as Sifu Mike’s teacher, Shaolin Five Form Fist Headmaster Tao Chi Li put it, “throwing a punch is like snapping your fingers and boxing/martial arts must be like taking a walk.”

Sifu/Guro Michael Fuchs has learned Chinese and Filipino Martial Arts from many of the top, most practical and legendary lineage holding martial arts experts of his time, experts who were/are all not only lineage holding experts but also Special Forces, Military, Police and Security Operatives, Officers, and Trainers. He has himself trained many of these groups of individuals over the course of the past 34 years, as well (his teachers school was loaded with street fighters, bikers, special forces operatives, military and police/security types). He learned from his teacher for 17 years full-time, including for 7 years as Chief Instructor of the system. After 15 years of discipline and dedication his name was listed on the certificates issued by the Headmaster to all students/instructors Sifu Mike trained, a great honor he earned through loyalty, discipline, talent and trust. His teacher was Director of Baton Training at the CT State Police Academy and a nationally certified defensive tactics trainer who trained numerous police/security forces. The martial art system he is the Headmaster of- Shaolin Five Form Fist Kung Fu- is a traditionally lineaged system but it was constructed from the very best, most practical and effective training methods, concepts and techniques from all of the teachers he learned from and networked with over the years, beginning in 1961. Legendary practitioners (some famous, some infamous, some not so famous- all deadly) such as: Dr. Daniel K. Pai, Wu Jen Dai, Mas Oyama, Leo. T. Gaje, Daniel Inosanto, William R. McGrath, Koichi Tohei, Manfred Steiner, James Cravens, Wally Jay, Robert Trias, Shigeru Oyama, Tadashi Nakamura, Ken Ota, and many, many others. No less an authority than grandmaster Dr. Maung Gyi himself told Sifu/Guro Mike when they first met in Spring, 2001- he was so excited he shouted it- “YOUR TEACHERS’ SYSTEM IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SYSTEMS IN EXISTENCE, FEARED EVEN IN CHINA!” Sifu/Guro Mike and all who were/are his longtime close students/disciples already knew this, but that was quite an eye opening affirmation coming from one of the most legendary special forces combat operatives and trainers of the past 100 years- who was also H.H. Dalai Lama’s Chief Security Consultant for his North American Tours for many years.
