CONGRATULATIONS to MARTIN JOHNSON!
Our good friend and Affiliate Group Leader, Martin Johnson, was promoted from Affiliate Instructor Candidate to an Affiliate Apprentice Instructor on the 25th of this month. He and his senior student, Charles Byrd, traveled from the Cleveland, OH. area to us here at KSK in Lansing, MI. for a full training day and evaluation with Guro T. Kent Nelson. Martin & Charles did extremely well and demonstrated that they have been studying the Armas-Kali curriculum very diligently.
Martin, who is located in Maple Heights, OH. runs an Affiliate Armas-Kali group in that area. If you would like to check out his class contact him at:

SEPTEMBER F.A.S.T. TRACK WAS A SUCESS!
This month we held another successful F.A.S.T. Track Phase-1 class. Having both new and old faces attending this two day intensive training, we focused on the realistic side of stand-up self defense, combining basic clinching with the US Navy SEAL’s “Rapid Assault Tactics” program (the RAT).
Along with this awesome training weekend came some pretty awesome pictures as well. You can check them out on our FaceBook page. The Link is below. If you’d like more information on how you can get involved with this great training opportunity check out the link below.
