“If I were to give a metaphor for this method, it would be an iceberg: on the surface, it’s an essential, pragmatic, and down-to-earth style; it’s in the era of the times.
Below the surface, it’s very complex, with genuine research and exploration in biomechanics, strategic technique, cultural and historical research.
It’s a method to apply to oneself daily, both in the practice of personal defense and in one’s attitude and development.
Contemporary practitioners of this method are in the lineage of knights who respect not only an art of being but also an art of living and a savoir-faire where the maxim ‘Mens sana in corpore sano’ takes on its full meaning.”
