Brandon James Schild
My name is Brandon
James Schild, I have been studying martial arts for around 11years. I was born
in
Frank M.
Schneider
Born Aug.21,1964 he comes in contact with
martial arts at the age of five years through older “playground friends"
who trained in Judo and JiuJitsu and teach him some martial arts basics. After
a while the young Frank started in a club at the end of 6 years with Judo. In
the following years he studied JiuJitsu, Kempo, Aikijitsu, Okinawa Karate and
Kobudo, also in Ninjutsu and other arts he get insights, always trying to
enrich his knowledge. Furthermore in korean arts like Hapkido, TangSooDo and
Taekwondo he has expertise,which leads him finally to traditional chinese
techniques as Shaolin KungFu(Kempo), Dju-Su and KongSoTao.
As he met his mentor and friend,
grandmaster and Soke,Benedetto Stumpf,Hanshi(10th Dan Kempo Karate/Jiu Jitsu,
9th Dan Okinawa Karate and higher degrees in several other Budo arts) he found
one Sensei who stands for all he search for: excellence and spirit in the budo
arts, humility,dedication to the arts and always stand up and deal with all
aspects of life masterly...
Until now Frank M. Schneider has studied
under various european and asian grandmasters and masters like D.B. Stumpf,
Dr.Min Tah Jao, R. Seihsler, K. Tose, T. Nobetsu, S.Sato, H.Ochi, J. Kim, K.
Poestges, D. Thürnau, O.Rumann, W.Kritzler e.t.c.
So Frank M. Schneider also searches for
excellence of body and mind through absorbing what is usefull in Budo to become
an humble human being...
Until know he reached some higher Dan
degrees and titles in the national and international martial arts community
through Budo as way of life. He acts as student, instructor, coach, seminar
participant, tournament player and official in some recognized organisations.
Holding tournament results like various
national titles in Kata,Kumite and Self Defense, a third place in european
championships and other regional titles he was formerly also succesfull in
competition. Today his approach in the martial arts is to be an role model
through strong dedication to Budo leading all interested people through Budo as
a good way to succeed in life, regardless of race, religion, politics and so
on.
In 2001 he was awarded the title of Soke in
his “own" art founded and developed since 1992 under the direction of his
sensei Grandmaster Stumpf, Soke. So STREET COMBAT KARATE is his essence in
realistic self defense of over 30 years study and instruction of asian martial
arts, police tactical defense and anti-rape programs
conducted by Frank M. Schneider. Helping to establish and promote SCK and real
self defense, the WSCSO - WORLD STREET COMBAT SYSTEMS ORGANIZATION was formed
with permission and consent of some worldwide respected & notable masters
and grandmasters, such as european grandmaster Professor D.B.Stumpf and chinese
grandmaster Dr. Min Tah Jao.
The WSCSO promotes dedication and seriousity in the arts and foster a
band of friendship among all martial artists worldwide as a overall budo
family. So Grandmaster Schneider say´s
“ go in a foreign country in an foreign dojo, with respect and reserve, and you
are always heartly welcomed as a friend - that is BUDO.."
After nearly 33 years study and research also in traditional Budo he has
incorporated his views and opinions through traditional study in his own
approach of instructing, sparring(Kumite) forms(Kata) and self defense (Bunkai Jutsu)-
which resulted in the formulation of his traditional experience in Budo:
YOSAISHIKAIKAN BUDO, which consists of traditional karate, jiujitsu, kobujutsu,
kempo and weapon methods.
So Frank M. Schneider received and lastly
accepted proudly in 2002 the titles of Soke Shodai as 10th Degree Red Belt in
Street Combat Karate (SCK) and as 9th Dan Hanshi in Yosaishikaikan Budo (after
he denied and don´t accepted in the previous years any 10th
Dan ranking in his own style, which he was granted by international serious and
notable organizations). Also in traditional Budo he holds now an 9th Dan Hanshi
in Kempo Karate, Nihon Kempo
Jiu Jitsu and a 9th Dan Sijo ranking in
Chinese Kenpo.
He was promoted in 2002 to Hachidan Okinawa
Kempo Karate Do, Hanshi and Rokudan Okinawan Kobudo, Kyoshi.
He is a member as
Instructor/Master/Grandmaster in some prestiguos Martial Art organizations,
holding titles of Soke,Hanshi,Shihan,Kyoshi, Renshi,KwanJangNim to promote
martial arts excellence, spirit and friendship with the martial arts community
and budo family
