Dear Martial Arts enthusiasts,
Due to the current situation in the Middle East, several international flights have been cancelled, which has unfortunately affected the travel arrangements for our guest instructor.
As a result, the International JKD & Close Quarter Combatives Intensive Seminar has been postponed to later this year. The new dates will be announced soon.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and truly appreciate your understanding and continued support. All registrations will remain valid for the rescheduled dates. However, if anyone prefers a refund, the refund process can be arranged upon request.
Thank you for your patience, and we look forward to training together soon.

My friends around the world,
Sri Lanka needs you now more than ever.
Cyclone Ditwa has devastated a majority of the island. Over 60 lives have been lost, and countless families have been displaced or reported missing. Entire communities are struggling to rebuild from nothing. Those who survived are now facing a new battle — the urgent need for clean drinking water, food, and basic essentials.
In this moment of tragedy, every act of kindness matters. If you are in a position to support relief efforts, please reach out through official and verified authorities to ensure your help reaches those who need it most.
Let’s stand together for Sri Lanka. Even the smallest contribution can bring hope to a family fighting to survive.
Special bank account numbers have been issued to local and foreign donors to help the affected people in the country.
