Promoting Inter-Art Relations
We advocate Martial Arts training as one aspect of a balanced, life-long pursuit of physical,
mental and spiritual health. We are active in promoting of good citizenship and community within all arts. Other Arts
organizations, their instructors and practitioners are not viewed as competition, but rather as our extended, and honored
family.
With
that being said we would like to extend an invitation to all W.M.A.F. schools to an open Black
Belt work-out that we will be having every Wednesday night at Pence Self-Defense at
8:oo p.m.. Come on down and share or just work-out with us . There is no set curriculum nor
is there any style we won't try. Cross training with each other is
one of the best ways to make this organization grow stronger.
If you have any other questions

 Mugger foiled by blind judo expert
Reuters | Tuesday, 11 September 2007
A blind judo expert has astounded a mugger by pinning him
to the ground after he tried to steal his cigarettes in Germany.
The assailant, a 17-year-old man of Asian origin, spotted the 33-year-old,
who police identified only as Emil E, at a train station in the southwestern town of Giessen and thought he would be easy
prey, police spokesman Rolf Wellershausen said.
But what the attacker did not know, the spokesman said, was that
his victim was a world-class blind judo wrestler.
The 17-year-old threatened the blind man, then punched him in the
face, at which point the martial artist flipped him and held him down until police arrived.
