Other Notes and Comments

"Thanks for bearing with me and reading this. These days, in this business, it is important for people to know who you are and what you have really done."

"...all these things come together to help forge the Scientific Fighting Congress training programs. These are generic, tactical programs, not "karate" arts classes. I do not consider myself a martial arts instructor. I consider myself more of a friendly drill sergeant or police academy instructor, teaching hand, stick, knife and gun survival skills. While I must list my credentials here in order to demonstrate my qualifications, this isn't about me! It's about the techniques and it's about you and your survival It is all about Your Future. Your teachings. All the benefits of my time and my qualifications documented listed here are yours for the simple asking when you train with me." - Hock, 2005
