Our Member Site

Our Member Site provides a forum where members can discuss things related to Sikal and martial arts in general. The discussions range from technical to philosophical and can provide a lot of insight. The Gurus - who regularly post there - represent nearly two centuries of combined martial arts experience. This provides a great resource for people. The discussions are always insightful - and fun.

You will also find videos and articles related to Sikal and martial arts in general. These provide very useful training tips and reference to material as well as a look into the mindset behind the Sikal training method. The videos and articles are updated twice a month and old items are preserved in our archives - always accessible through the "Archives" section of the discussion forum.

In short, the Member Site is a wealth of useful reference material. Sikal students and practitioners will find it very useful for furthering their knowledge and understanding of Sikal. Others will also find interesting things - people interested in Sikal can learn more about it, martial artists of any background will find useful information as well since all of our Gurus and many of our members have trained in other martial arts.

Other topics discussed are not directly related to the classical perception of martial arts training but are tangential and of interest to many people in the martial arts community. These topics include things like firearms training, primitive living skills and tracking. The Sikal community is blessed to have experts from these fields in our ranks so, within our tribe, we have access to a great wealth of information on a wide variety of topics.

Testimonials

Julie Boggess - 39, Homemaker and Blue Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

The training I'm getting in Sikal seems really practical to me. The more I learn, the more confident I am that I can protect myself and my loved ones from a violent assault.

Matt Campbell - 26, Tai Chi Instructor with training in a variety of other martial arts

In todays dangerous world an art focused on practicality and methods that work NOW is vital. Sikal offers that practicality with a sense of confidence that you will always be able to rise to the challenge.

Through Sikal you can develop a sense of range, timing, power development, and flow I have not found anywhere else.

Les Burton - 66, College Professor of Physics (retired)

During the last 25 years, I have had formal training in Shaolin Kempo, Japanese GoJu, Okinawan Isshinryu, Korean Tang-Soo-Do, and Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.

My training in Sikal started late in 2005. From the first day of training, I gained new insights on body mechanics, balance disruption, fighting at all ranges, and weapons.

Sikal has the most comprehensive coverage of both empty hands and weapon techniques that I have found. It is also based on the best use of applied physics of any style that I have ever trained in.

Sikal has a self-protection mindset instead of only a self-defense mindset. I feel that this is far better when you have a need to protect your loved ones.

The Sikal instructors are extremely knowledgeable and are excellent teachers. Beyond that, they are superior practitioners of their art and have given seminars world wide. They are interested in you learning the concepts as fast as you can assimilate the material and will not hold a student back as some martial arts schools do.
