About Me matthew schafer Thank you for visiting my blog. My name is Matthew Schafer and I put up this blog to share my knowledge of martial arts and self-defense with the world and hopefully help a few people along the way. I make no money off of this blog and I do not advertise it at all so if you're reading this then you're one of the few that have stumbled upon it. I began my training in the martial arts when I was 6 years old when a family friend began teaching me traditional Ryukyu Kenpo which is another name for traditional Okinawan Karate. From there I went on to study Taekwondo, Aikido, Chin Na, Taiji Chuan, Ju Jitsu, Kung Fu San Soo, Krav Maga, Tai Jitsu, and several other styles. I’ve also trained with numerous security professionals and military personnel in various topics such as security, counter surveillance, and defensive shooting. View my complete profile
