In this episode, Scott Campsall talks about student creeds. Why do some martial arts schools have a student creed and what does it mean to follow one? 

Although some will say rules are made to be broken. Student creeds are meant to be followed to the best of our ability. Let's do our best to tackle this subject in this episode.

Scott Campsall talks about what has become a sensitive topic among martial artists and that is what is the appropriate age for someone to be granted a black belt rank.

He tries to tackle that by explaining how we do things at Okami Kai and why we try to do our best to put systems in place so that we can give credit where it is due while also trying not to insult those who have come before us.

The founder and chief instructor of On Guard International, Hanshi Kevin Blok talks about our upcoming On Guard Control and Defensive tactics course happening here on Feb.8-9, 2025.

This is a comprehensive training course covering a variety of topics including practical self defence techniques, use of force continuum, aligning skills for greater effectiveness, hold reversals, blocks, checks, pressure point controls, stuns, and basic edged weapon defence. There is a strong focus on control of others for arrest or detainment. There is even a portion dedicated to handcuffing, but no martial arts or law enforcment experience is necessary to participate.

Hanshi talks about what makes this course different from others like it and he also talks about why anyone can benefit from On Guard training.
