At the same time he helped in training of his dojo, because he was receiving universitary studies y moden sport training. For that reason we has selected as a Head Coach of the Junior Karate Team of his country. It responsability forced him to stdy more, and we worked for many years improving martial arts sport preparation process. On that direction he joined several bioenergetic eastern contents with modern sport training paraddigms, and designed the Haramboure Strategy. By this work he won all the national and international competitions and implamnted several records still unbroken. Because of this  was also selected as teh best sport trainer in the country several times. Those results was the cause that many martial and sport instititons asked his methodologycal consultanship.

Hermann Harms

Hermann Harms was born in February 1950 in Gelsenkirchen Buer. In April 1957 his older brother carried him forward for the first time to Judo training. Already after short time it was clear for him, that it concerns more than only sport here.

Martial arts became one of its life contents. He tried different combat art systems. 1971 then finally he examination to the first Dan. Since then he is Jiu Jitsu and other self-defence systems teaching.

Hermann Harms does not have financial interests in martial arts or in  degrees. He found world-wide along human and sporty contacts, relations, friendships and exchange of ideas. His interest in the Asiatic martial arts gave him connection to Asia. He travelled often to Asia. Here he became acquainted with his wife. Since 1984 he is lucky married. Combat art teachers believe often, that the are infallible.

Hermann Harms always learned from his ouwn errors and mistakes. After 50 years practice he knows now, that one never learns to end. Hermann Harms slogan is: "who believes everything to know, has not yet enough learned! “ Hermann Harms is persistent and he acts always with regard to the future and prudently. He says that the human abilities are so different, like humans are different in size, weight or shape. One must understand that, otherwise one remains alone or is alone left. It is large difference between theory and practice. It is not easy to found good and practical realizations from the martial arts for our daily life. Grandmaster Harms does not regard his work in the combat arts as load or trouble.

He experiences constantly peaceful and meaningful with one another with different humans. This creates a good life feeling and serves also the common weal.

The engine in addition probably lies in his Christian basic adjustment to the life. He always had his Financial security in a good occupation. We know that humans never carry his best out under obligation. Interest with joy in the own achievement and iron will each ambitious goal to be reached. This is what Hermann Harms lives. This he shows to his  pupils in all over the world. The way of Hermann Harms from the slim and shy boy to the well known martial arts Grandmaster was long as a  half century. That way to go was worth  for him and his pupils. It brought many people on the correct way of life.

After 35 years as teacher in his spare time, after his daily work, he is today a thru Grandmaster. He did not think that he would come so far. He will works further world-wide as an advisor for organizations, trains its pupils locally and holds European-wide seminars.

His body is now 57 years old however his heart is substantially younger. Hopefully he remains us still for a long time as fantastic teacher  and a fatherly friend (even with strong hand).

·       4th Dan, Modern Arnis, Master

·       Assistant Maestro (Blue Shirt), Derobio Eskrima Jungle Style

·       Instructor, Muay Thai

·       Instructor, Boxing

·       Instructor, Kickboxing

 

I started my training in 2001 and achieved my first 1st Dan ranking in Tae Kwon do in 2004. In 2003 I started training in multiple styles at the same time. At the height of my training, I was learning Daito-Hakko Jujutsu, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, San Shu Kai Budo Karate, Modern Arnis, Derobio Eskrima, Muay Thai, Boxing and Kickboxing at the same time. I started learning Hapkido after having a more extensive training in the other arts.

In 2002 I belonged to two schools, a Karate school, and the Midwest Martial Arts Group where I was an assistant instructor for both schools. After 2006, I had left the Karate school and was already an Instructor with the Midwest Martial Arts Group teaching the aforementioned styles. I eventually worked my way up in the school and was named a Master Instructor and partial owner of the school.

 

I have studied and continue to study under many instructors. Some more notable ones are Grand Master Remy A Presas Jr. (Modern Arnis), Master Ron England (Derobio Eskrima), and Grand Master Hyun Soo Lim (Hapkido). During my time learning all of these arts I had noticed a continued theme for most of them. With the exception of Modern Arnis, Derobio Eskrima and Hapkido, most of the material did not fulfill the main reason that I had started martial arts to begin with, they did not teach adequately teach self defense combatives. Most of these systems taught principles that could be utilized, but almost none of them focused on what martial arts was originally designed for. During this time, I noticed Brazilian Jiu-Jutsu was going much more sportive than the original intent. Daito-Hakko Jujutsu was classical and got caught up in the Budo side of training more than anything.

I spent the next decade looking at all of the systems that I have trained and started to do the next logical step in my training. I primarily got into martial arts for the self defense aspects of it, so I analyzed all of the systems that I have been training and kept the material was most applicable to self defense and stopped training the other material. In 2015 I had a system that I had created from all of these different styles that I had previously studied that has been continued to be refined to this day. In 2023 I actually named the system and founded it as an official style, known as Seiyô-ryû Aikibujutsu (
西洋流 合氣武術) and published an internet article on the style (https://en.everybodywiki.com/Seiyo-ryu_Aiki_Bujutsu) that continues to be updated as needed.

 

The purpose of Seiyô-ryû Aikibujutsu (西洋流 合氣武術) is to be what martial arts were always intended to be, and what they once were, a combative system that can be utilized in physical engagements, regardless if it’s on a battlefield, on the streets, or in your living room during a domestic battery. Seiyô-ryû Aikibujutsu (西洋流 合氣武術) covers all use of force levels. The system was designed to teach all areas of combatives in a condensed intensive study format.

 

Some areas of study include but are not limited to:  Kenjutsu (剣術), Sôjutsu (槍術), Tantôjutsu (短刀術). Aikijujutsu (合気柔術), Jujutsu (柔術), Taijutsu (体術), Sôjutsu (槍術), Keibôjutsu (警棒術), and Koppojutsu (骨法術) which was mixed with FMA and Hapkido to teach striking, grappling, and weapons.

The future of Seiyô-ryû Aikibujutsu (西洋流 合氣武術) is to continue to refine they system and make it accessible worldwide to new and veteran martial artists, law enforcement, and military. The goal is not to take away from other current styles, but rather to add to them. A veteran martial artist should be able to pick up Seiyô-ryû Aikibujutsu (西洋流 合氣武術) in a short period of time and be able to effectively utilize the combative methods inside of it; furthermore, Seiyô-ryû Aikibujutsu (西洋流 合氣武術) is intended to remove all politics and rank promotion is solely based upon an individual’s merit and performance, not because of who they are or who they know.
