Chief Instructors: Robert Teodorczy, 5th Dan

Instructor
Welcome to RDMAA. I have over 25 yrs Martial Arts Experience along with over 20 years experience with the Somerset County Sheriffs department. Working inside the Jail for all these years I have witnessed and been involved with the escalation, and physical confrontations of REAL fights. Unlike some other martial art instructors I have learned what works and doesn't work in real life situations and have pursued the Arts and Systems that tend to work in REAL ENCOUNTERS. I like to say that these arts don't look as pretty and flashy as other arts but are much more effective in real fights. The bottom line is that REAL fights aren't pretty. I have trained with and continue to train with some of the best instructors in the world which include Dan Inosanto, Bob Orlando, Paul Vunak, Larry Tatum, George Dillman, Royce Gracie, Bruce Corrigan, Cris Sayoc, and retired Seal Team 6 Member Dennis Chaulker to name just a few. I continue my training so that I can share my knowledge to my dedicated students and prepare them both mentally and physically for realistic street encounters. Below is a list of accomplishments in a ongoing never-ending quest for knowledge.

Our School
The Training methods and techniques originally developed by Bruce Lee. Jeet Kune Do translated as "Way of the Intercepting Fist" incorporates 4 ranges of defense: Kicking, Punching, Trapping Hands, and Joint Locking/Grappling. Bruce Lee researched and experimented with methods from many systems of martial arts, using there essence of these arts in there given ranges. The methods had to be practical and economical, with no wasted motion. The main arts he drew from are : Wing Chun, Western Boxing, Fencing, Savate, and Jujitsu. JKD practitioners train in an environment that helps develop spontaneous and deceptive combat skills with an emphasis on adaptability. It is a continuum of perpetual motion, yet there is a flow of stillness that encapsulates awareness, perceptiveness, and intuition making them among the most skilled practitioners in the world.

Filipino Kali
Kali is a realistic self defense system from the Philippines. It is known mainly for its use in weaponry, particularly the stick and edged weapons. In order for one to defend themselves against a edged weapon, one must be familiar on the use of one. And because of using weapons in ones hand it will develop attributes such as hand speed, agility, timing, and proper body mechanics faster then any other style. Kali also develops left and right neuromuscular coordination through its sensitivity and sinawali drills using various weapons.

Indonesian Silat
Silat is a devastating close range combat system found throughout Southeast Asia. It is derived from the Silat arts in Malaysia, Philippines, and Indonesia. Practitioners learn sweeps, throws, traps, nerve striking and more.The self defense applications of Silat are numerous, particularly in empty-hand attack situations, and its value as a "street style" is high with the emphasis on a short engagement time and strong finishing techniques.

Kenpo Karate
Kenpo defined, as "Law of the Fist" is the first American Martial Art introduced in Hawaii in 1941 by James Mitose and later structured as a system by Ed Parker. Kenpo uses linear as well as circular moves, using intermittent power when and where it is needed. Interspersed with major and minor moves that flow with continuity. It is flexible in thought and action so as to blend with encounters as they occur. Students are encouraged to alter moves but not the underlying principles, to fit individual body structure. Kenpo teaches how to maneuver so that the opponent unwittingly places himself in a precarious position.

Law Enforcement Tactics and Certifications
A course designed for law enforcement and future law enforcement officers will teach passive restraint control, proper body positioning, takedowns, handcuffing and general combat for close quarter fighting. Students will also learn and be certified in PR-24, and ASP (Tactical Retractable Baton)
