Brandon James Schild

My name is Brandon James Schild, I have been studying martial arts for around 11years. I was born in Humboldt, Kansas on March 10 1982. My first experience with any type of martial arts was around the age of 6. My uncle used to show my a few martial art techniques, which he was an instructor at the YMCA and instructed in JUDO. Over the years I became accustomed to various martial arts from Tae Kwon Do, Karate, Judo and Jujitsu. Which these were going to be my basic foundation of what I really enjoyed to do. I began to take part in a class which was American Jujitsu Academy (which was more of an American/Brazilian jujitsu), my instructor had several different people who came down to do seminars. They were all well rounded from Muay Thai to Wing Chun to Chin Na, all sorts of styles we got to get involved in to open our mind set. In the year 2001 I joined the US Army Military Police Corps, in the end of 2001 I achieved my first black belt in mixed martial arts at Fort Belvior Virginia. My foundation was formed of all different bases, yet I personally chose Wing Chun for my self, because of my hand reach which helps in trapping and hand immobilizing. At the beginning of 2006 I had became an instructor in Jeet Kune Do concepts, Arnis De Mano, silat, and Kino Mutai under the OFT/ESS certification program. I am now stationed in Korea, still in the Military Police Corps training soldiers at our earliest convenience. I am currently working on a martial art book that I have been trying to compile knowledge for over several years. I have been studying philosophy and anatomy and physiology as well with martial arts which help create a well rounded being. I am a lifetime member with the ICMAUA with 2 foundation arts which are Instinctive Fighting; BASIC INSTINCT and Modern Martial Art Concepts, they both relates to one another but one is primarily used for direct learning for defensive fighting techniques as the other is used as a philosophical science aspect with developmental learning.

 

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

Martin Sewer

Ph.D. M.S.

The martial arts career of Martin Sewer began at the age of seven with judo which he practised for over thirteen years. During that time he attended various courses ranging from educational issues to kuatsu (Japanese first aid). He became an judo instructor and soon discovered that he had pleasure and a great talent working with people and conveying the various aspects in martial arts.  

His unstoppable thirst for knowledge led him to other areas like Karate, Jiu-Jitsu and Boxing. Over the years he attended many tournaments and championships where he won numerous titles and awards.

While looking for new challenges he came in touch with Chinese Martial Arts which weren’t very popular in Switzerland at the time.

He learnt from different Chinese Masters different styles like Wushu, Choy Lay Fat, Kong Style Taj Chi Chuan. He travelled several times to China and Hong Kong to learn more about the Chinese way of life and its culture. There he gained a profound knowledge of  Chinese traditions and philosophy, which makes him a real expert in this area.

Through a ten animal Kung Fu system he eventually found his way to the South-Shaolin Hung Gar Kung Fu by meeting his future master Grandmaster Chiu Chi Ling from Hong Kong.

Sifu Martin Sewer became a closed door student of Grand Master Chiu Chi Ling who supported him above average. Sifu Martin Sewer practised with great enthusiasm and during a visit in Hong Kong in 1992 he was able to take the examination for master in presence of his Sifu Chiu Chi Ling and the Grand Masters Chiu Kau and Siu Ying (both disciples of Lam Sai Wing) which he passed successfully. He became president of the Swiss branch of the “International Chiu Chi Ling Hung Gar Kung Fu Association” and in the Year 1993 he opened the “Kung Fu School Martin Sewer” in Zürich where he personally ensures that his students learn traditional Hung Gar Kung Fu of very high quality. Since the opening of his school, the Chinese certified Sifu (Master) dedicates all his time to make this unique Kung Fu system more popular. He’s holding seminars all over Europe in order to pass on his precious knowledge to the next generations. So far, Dr. Martin Sewer received the following grades: 5th Dan World Kung Fu Association USA (1995), 5th Dan through Grand Master Chiu Chi Ling head of the Hung Gar Kung Fu system (2001), senior instructor Shaolin Hung Gar Kung Fu through USMA (2001), 6th Dan USMA (2002), Grand Master of the Martial Arts, MAA, IGC.

He’s a respected member of renowned organisations such as the Hong Kong Martial Arts Ass. Ltd., International Chinese Kuoshu Federation, International Martial Arts Ass., International Grandmaster Comitee, Lifetime Member United States Martial Arts Ass. and the official Swiss Representative of the World Independent Chinese Martial Arts Federation.
