My name is Master Brian Oakes 8th degree black. I’ve been training since 1984 in multiple arts starting with classical arts such as Shotokan Karate Brown Belt 1st degree Aikido yellow belt and Judo yellow belt. In 1987 I was introduced to Kenpo Karate receiving a black belt in 1991 from Master Tom Georgian under Senior Grandmaster Jim Mitchel.  Following my receiving my black belt I’ve spent a fortune on seminar’s books, VHS tapes and CD(s) and formal training in Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do (JKD), Kali stick and knife.  Cross training in JKD schools offers training in several arts Brazilian Jujitsu, Wing Chun, Savate, Mai Thai Kicking Boxing and American boxing, etc. The problem with these multiple classes was that each art was instructed in their original format. Kicks, punches and stances changed in name and function from one class to the next. I have sought and have formatted a curriculum in which the highlights of several formable martial arts in one system. A system designed for street combat that encourages and helps the student create their own effective self-defense system based upon their physical abilities and personal taste. Several drills will allow the student to insert their prior training and develop aspects of the training thereby creating their own expression of self-defense. It is my goal as a teacher to elevate my students to an elevated level of understanding and capability in a few years verse decades of cross training.  The intensity of the training depends upon the student varying from hard core youth to handicapped and senior by adjusting the physical requirements as necessary. Therefore, any adult student can accomplish certification by adjusting the cardiovascular and other aspects as necessary; all students will physically improve themselves depending upon their physical investment.   I’m very proud of my senior students and I believe you will be too; average people with outstanding abilities. www.bigfoottacticalarts.com
