INTRODUCTION:
Reis Martial Arts is home to the self-defense system known as Reis-
Ryu Aiki-Kempo (Reis system of Universal Harmony through Fist
Law). The Aiki-Kempo system is primarily a strategy, utilizing a
combination of self defense techniques taken from 6 primary martial
arts systems: Kenpo, Kajukenbo, Aikido, Aiki-Jitsu, Brazilian and
Japanese JuJitsu. This strategy was developed by Master Tomas Reis
from his experiences in military training and combat as an EST
Operator (Special Forces), his law enforcement experience in
Northern CA., as a Patrol Officer, Gang Unit Officer and S.W.A.T.
member, as well as, his street fighting and competition experience. As
a continuing student in multiple disciplines, Master Reis is able to teach
an ever evolving self defense strategy that takes into account the
techniques he has used effectively in real world situations, as well as,
his constant evaluation of applicable traditional and modern techniques
alike. Everything we teach is based on Personal Interpretive Tactics
(PIT) which means that each student learns the basic elements, learns
the Aiki Kempo strategy components and applies them to their own
movement, fitness and technical abilities. That's why we don't do
“FORMS” or “Katas” EVER! It's too limiting, too rigid and too
unrealistic.”
SELF DEFENSE OR COMPETITION:
Aiki Kempo is not a competition based system - it is a street wise self
defense system with real world personal safety at it's core. The
elements we teach, from the various contributing martial arts systems,
do not make you a master technician in those specific arts. In other
words: training at Reis Martial Arts doesn't make you a Black Belt in
Kenpo, Aikido, JuJitsu or any other traditional systems. However, you
will have a solid understanding of what does and how to defend against
skilled, as well as, unskilled attackers, who may or may not be armed
and who may attack you or your loved ones in a solo or multiple
attacker situation. The strategy was developed to give you the
familiarity with each arts strategy and foundations, allowing for a
multitude of personal safety events to be dealt with effectively.
CRITICS OF THE SYSTEM:
The critics of what we do at Reis Martial Arts have typically been
those who do not understand the reality of self defense, the traditions
and teachings of the martial arts or the state of the world today. They
hear terms like Kenpo, Aikido or Jiu-Jitsu and think that those are the
systems that they will be learning, despite our continuous advisements
of the reality of what we do. Those coming to us with the idea of being
skilled competitors have all been advised that our system and
strategies can be effective in the ring, however the focus of
competition based training is not the same as self defense in a reality
sense. In competition based training you are already aware of the time
limit, rules, location, weight class, skill level and generalized
techniques developed for and effective in the competition arena. In
other words, in competition based training, you train for the KNOWN.
In real world self defense, often times you have no information until
the attack occurs, which means you train for the UNKNOWN.
TAKE THE TRAINING CHALLENGE:
If you are interested in finding out more about this innovative system
designed on yesterday's traditions for today's needs and tomorrows
strategic changes, all while training in a safe and family friendly
atmosphere, then you are at the right place. Please contact our
