Jonathan E. Kiser

Founder of Integrated Combative Concepts, Chief Instructor / Sijo
Founder of Kiser Wing Chun System, Chief Instructor / Sijo
Founder of Tzu Jan Gung Fu, Chief Instructor / Sijo
Founder of Personal Defense Solutions, Chief Instructor

Sijo Jonathan E. Kiser, was born in Lubbock, Texas in 1966.  He attended public school in Texas and graduated in Waco, Texas in 1985.  He attended three colleges (McClennan Community College-Waco, Central Texas College-US ARMY correspondance, Miller-Motte Business University).

He began martial arts at the age of 9 under Sifu Thomas Senora, Ho Kuen Ng's only American disciple in Ho Family System Wing Chun.  He remained in study with Sifu Senora to the age of 14 until his Sifu moved to Florida.  Afterwards, Jonathan took up study in USA GOJU with Sensei David Swinson receiving his Shodan level.  He also studied under Shodai George Brock-Martial Arts Founder of Bei-Koku Aibu-Jitsu Ryu-in Wu-Wei Gung Fu (Joe Cowles), Aibu-Jitsu Ryu Jujitsu, Kali-Silat, and Goju Ryu Karate Do receiving his Sifu and Sensei levels.  These studies took place from 1979 to 1987 in Waco, Texas.  He later moved to N. Miami, Ok.  and shared a school with Sa Bum Nim Jeffrey A. Paine (International TaeKwonDo Federation) and began to teach his own blend of martial arts called Kiser Wing Chun System. 

In 1989, Jonathan joined the US ARMY and traveled world-wide studying different systems and sharing insights with other martial artists.  He became a field artillery crew member and then became a special weapons expert (nuclear duty) serving in Turkey as a Senior Custodial Agent and was in charge of security for two years.  Meanwhile he researched, trained, sparred (some real fights, too), and studied martial arts from many different insights, especially Jeet Kune Do Concepts.  He taught extensively at 101st Airborne, 2/320th FA, including many special operations personnel.  In 1992, he began teaching at the Clarksville Martial Arts Academy (Clarksville, Tn) teaching greats such as George Taite and Donald King and launched a combat/reality-based martial arts approach resulting in the Tzu Jan (In and of itself so) Gung Fu system based upon the science of the brain, psychology of the mind, physics and biomechanics of the body, and real confro! ntation; the body's natural reflexes and instinctual defense amplified through proven training methods.  In 1994 he returned back to Texas under Shodai George Brock and began to teach his ideas about combat-reality.  In the same year he opened THE MARTIAL ARTS CENTER and shared the school with other martial artists.  During this time he became under the tutelage of Guro Panong Randy DeLeon in Kali-Silat-Jun Fan Arts Club.  He also trained greats such as Johnny Gallardo, Jon Fry, Laura Fry, and Victor Hallock.  Even for a short time he served as an educational teacher for grades 6-8 at the Hewitt Methodist Montessori School. 

In 1996, he moved to Amarillo, Tx and took up teaching three highly accomplished martial artists-Will Blanscet, Mike Parmley, and Charles Stotts.  After much research and development they all developed the basis for INTEGRATED COMBATIVE CONCEPTS(ICC)and opened a school, The Wing Chun Science Center and ICC Headquarters.  Jonathan E. Kiser became the recognised Head Founder of ICC and established Will, Mike, and Charles as Si-Bai (inner-door students) and Co-Founders.  These men are the top students of Sijo Kiser and all are the uptmost authorities in ICC.  They have hosted seminars publically teaching their theories and training methods.  With the enthusiam of many great students, fighters(Phillip Reese, Cory Love), the ICC system has held its place as a highly effective fighting system.  Also, in 1999 he founded the Kiser Wing Chun Alliance ( a non-political organization dedicated to uniting wing chun enthusiast).

In 2001, Sijo moved to Dallas/Ft Worth Area and began to showcase his system to various martial artists.  He has shared a teaching spot at Stroud's Fitness in Bedord with Karate great Pat Burleson, Jeet Kune Do expert Mitch Maynard, and Jujitsu expert David Ernest.  In 2003, Sijo Kiser also accepted Bryan Beach(student of Will Blanscet for six years) as a Si-Bai and promoted him as Southwestern United States Regional Director of Integrated Combative Concepts.  Due to his dedication Sijo promoted him as additional Co-Founder of ICC. 

To this day Sijo Kiser and the staff continue to teach and develop the system. In 2004, Sijo Kiser began working on THE CAT MAGAZINE (Concepts, Attributes, and Training for Reality-based Martial Artists), several books on ICC, and an impending 40-tape instructional video series.
