My name is Arron Robinson, I had been in in Martial Arts for 21 years. I am currently 4th Dan black belt in World Tae Kwon Do Federation that I had been practice taekwondo for 19 years. I am 2 times California State Taekwondo Champion in 2 different weight class, 2 times California State Medalist, 2 times California State Team Member in 2 different organizations, and Mexico City Open Silver Medalist.I had to retire my taekwondo competition career because I partially torn my ACL from sparring with wrong sparring partner with pride and ego but luckily I did not get a surgery. I want to get back into the game but unfortunately my knee are too sensitive from too repetitive on kicking that my knee can't take that. Later, My body told me to do something else that will kept me active that I ended up had my own expression in martial arts that I trained hard for it, took whats work for me that will set me up for accomplishment and had been versed in boxing (mostly as foundation), kickboxing, muay thai, brazilian jujitsu (still beginner level), capoeira, kung fu (choy le fut, long fist, wing chun, and tai chi as relaxation principle foundation for powerful strikes in natural speed), hapkido, kali and lastly; Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do.
I'm always been passionate and dedicated for Martial Art with a purpose because train in martial arts had been helped me a lot because of I had autistic that had been cured from and changed my life. Without Martial Arts, I don't know what type of human beings I am and I ended up had nothing better to do for my self.I am not just Traditional Martial Artist because of restriction of limitations that stuck growth and too outdated, I am not just Modern Martial Artist because of I don't promote restriction of rules of Combat Sport, I am Traditional Modern Martial Artist because of science of combat techniques that from 5-30% of traditional martial arts styles that will work from boxing foundations and kung fu principle foundation, traditional martial arts weapons (train for real combat, not circus stunts), create my own forms that is different than traditional martial arts forms that is outdated (create my own forms is under constructions), uniform is athletic clothes or tracksuit and shoes instead traditional martial arts uniform with belt, fitness as always to train hard as pro athletes to get stronger, athletic, fit and healthy for martial arts, legitimate self defense and spiritual values that Bruce Lee lead me towards eastern philosophy. Later on, I will add knife combat and guns even I don't have a gun license yet but still I look forward to it. I was amazed by 2 main movies that use unarmed martial arts with guns are Man from Nowhere (korean movie) and John Wick. I am also promote former Sanda and MMA fighter Cung Le to train to use knife combat and guns with unarmed martial arts.
The Reason I became a founder of Arron's Martial Arts Revolution because I was heavily inspired by Bruce Lee from books, writings, video footage and movies that lead me into eastern philosophy that really changed my life. Why my life changed after I read spiritual books or audio because of restrictions of limitations that I was stuck in individual growth because I had very difficult time being myself because of people criticized me from all angles on things that never been right for me from the very begin with (even now), had been took wrong advised and I failed too many times, been build false sense of confidence to build pride and ego that never meant for me and had been waist time on useless garbage that will never work. When I read spiritual books or audio, not just changed my life, also I became enlighten that I'm not alone that person wrote the book really understand me where I'm coming from, they went through this themselves. Ever since I walk into spiritual journey, I never listen to person who don't know they talked about, there advised that mean't for me and follow there path that never mean't for me. They thought it is what is best for me but never been best for me. I found things that is best for me myself.
As a legitimate martial artist, I am a living and had a heart of Bruce Lee. Arron's Martial Arts Revolution is a living Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do because it is my spiritual journey that I head towards Bruce Lee's work were he left off at after his death.
Arron's Martial Arts Revolution is purpose to get me out of restrictions of limitations that I was stuck in individual growth, communistic values that everybody must dress the same, talk the same, act the same and be the same, do things that never meant for me to do that had side effect, underrated of false doubt that I ended up prove them wrong in the past and even now, artificial ways of development that is sign of danger, watered down nonsense, fake/phony/sellouts, garbage nonsense, McDojo/McDojang/McGyms, corruptions of rankings, side effects on over rank promotions, false sense of confidence, sparring with pride and ego, bad kids corrupt good kids, blood is thicker than water were authority got in big trouble for put bad kids in check, and false doctrines that always will set up for failure.I fought for my life to accomplished the way I want to accomplished by break the rules and code with purpose because they doctrinated me on things that always set me up for failure that don't help me at all. I kept on failed to follow there false doctrines and rules, I kept on accomplished on doing my own ways with purpose to make myself legitimate. If I take the wrong advised, there will no Arron's Martial Arts Revolution, I'll unable to speak the way I speak through my heart and passion, I would not have the real sense of confidence, I ended up following and living the lies, and I would not have my own expression in the Martial Arts. When I climb the wrong mountain, when I made it to top it is nothing up there and felt like is a waste of time. Instead, I choose to climb the right mountain, when I am made it to the top, I ended up became a founder of Arron's Martial Arts Revolution as I fought for my life to stay consistent and accomplished the way I want to accomplished.I'm not going to lie on this, we live in society were have to have open minded that went too far, then closed minded is a bad thing. People tend to be open minded on wrong things that never meant for them. I became closed minded on things that I had been failed over and over again as I been there, done that, not go back to it ever again. I been open minded on very legitimate stuff that I was amazed to as put things in front of my face, I'm interested in things that makes more sense than things that makes no sense. The way I had been open and closed mind, both are beauty as balanced. Basically I had been opened and closed minded without being stupid.I had been a Martial Arts Teacher for 15 years. As a 15 year veteran as Martial Arts Teacher, I went through tons of frustrations and headache on things that I have to follow that makes no sense. Arron's Martial Arts Revolution gave me a freedom to teach whatever I want with a right purpose. As I teach my own expression of martial arts to my students, I teach with my passion and legitimate qualities that I know what I'm talking about with my true confidence in my heart and passion and I will past on to my students. Things that I fought hard for accomplished the way I want to, had my own expression of martial arts, being myself, speak the way I speak through my heart and passion, and made myself legitimate are beautiful things that I ever did.Arron's Martial Arts Revolution, as I see in the future will naturally progress over time that will brings the legitimate changes will occur as constantly revolving as will get better and better.Arron's Martial Arts Revolution is shown that I went from fail over and over again with my frustrations to accomplished over and over again with my hard fought and true confidence to make it legitimate.
As I'm founder of Arron's Martial Arts Revolution, I'm not just teach my students to bettering themselves, I lived in very comfortable life right now that I'm always do things what I am passionate and displayed my qualities, talents and legitimate to accomplished the way I want to. I don't live in normal life like everybody else that is nothing for me and it is boring. I'm not do things I hated that it is not comfortable life at all because there are side effects that too many people don't know about. If be like everbody by do things what they, this is reality of common sense, they ended up feel like life is total meaningless, laziness, boredom with nothing better to do, bad food disorders, obese and worse of the worse, letting yourselves go completely. In my case, This is example of a side effect the way I was not live in very comfortable life will ended up in pretty bad food disorder. I had bad food disorder because my body is repel that I junk food or high carbs everyday. Now I eat junk food or high carbs twice a week. Thing is I don't want to look like Steven Seagal or other big pop belly martial arts school owner that brings the bad image on martial arts.I can't stand how Martial Arts school owner set there butt around, computer and look at classes like look at cars all day like couch potato and said things that they don't know what they talk about like most people around me are, thats why I failed many times. Good things what I did, listen to someone who know what they talk about with tips they gave me, I train hard in fitness and martial arts to make myself legitimate, I discovered myself a lot to bettering myself, I sparred with my students by discovered myself and make sure that I know what I'm talking about, especially student had martial arts background. I am very active martial arts teacher by lead by example that shows in my true confident that I know what I'm talking. Sad things are many people who are authorities don't lead by example. They tend to say things that is not matched what they do, just literally being very lazy and tell people what to do. Spiritual Blind can't lead the Spiritual Blind, Lead by Example. Wonder why most people don't know what they talking about because they don't do nothing with there talents, legitimate and active with true confidence and passion because they let themselves go completely. Reason Why my students progressed a lot, came along way and accomplished a lot because of me displayed my legitimate as I teach them as lead by example by I knowing what I'm talking about.
I am different than many Traditionalist Martial Arts Masters out there. There's why, because I am open minded on legitimate stuff from others styles that I am amazed to and I knew that will be very effective and will work. It is not just my students are bettering themselves, myself as well. Myself and my students are trian hard to better ourselves that will progress together, even I represent real martial artist, I am not traditionalist martial arts masters out there that I think I am above all my students that put myself in pedestal and have social hierarchy. In my experience, I had traditionalist martial arts master told me straight up that I don't know anything about tao of jeet kune do that I don't read book on that yet but I'm going because I am very interested. I was listened, his crystallized ego turned me off as from the very begin with that whats leads to, I prove the traditionalist wrong because my heart connected to the tao of jeet kune do since I read the book on computer. The problem is the crystallize ego, he think he is better than me by knowing the tao of jeet june do without gave me a chance to speak through my reflections. Me, as martial arts teacher, I will let my students first to speak on there reflections to give them a chance that they understand on tao of jeet kune do before I give them my reflections that way I am not think I am above my student like arrogant traditionalist masters are. If they are happy where they at is one thing which is nothing wrong with that but if they are happy where they at with crystallize ego with super hierarchy that think better than students are turned me off.We lived in competitive society that went too far. Also we live in society were it is a dumb comparison were it turned me off. Instead use dumb comparison, use real and legitimate comparison. Arron's Martial Arts Revolution are also kept me away from crystallized ego, competitive that went too far, and dumb comparison that makes no sense because as once again, that nonsense are turned me off big time. For example of dumb comparison, since I had been criticized on high stance with a passion that I can't stand it because that will never work for me as reality, then people with dumb arguments, said to me "they been in fight that they know more than you". I am sick of dumb arguments and comparison, cut it out. I don't care if they know more than I do, it works for him, it works for him, for me, it does not work for me so I found things that I accomplished at. Stop all those dumb arguments, that don't help me at all.In Arron's Martial Arts Revolution, there are no dumb comparison, There are no above and below them, I'm promote myself and students to be unique individual as to unified even they are in lowest level were they are underdeveloped but still I will build them up that I make sure that I will set them up for accomplishment.
I don't like to use my own label as taekwondo as cross the line but too many people always have hard time understand. People out there told me that I should teach straight taekwondo, not other styles, Well Arron's Martial Arts Revolution is basically Functional Taekwondo. I would not use label as functional taekwondo because it is not my label, someone already have that label that is a founder. Reason Arron's Martial Arts Revolution is Functional Taekwondo because of boxing foundation that I had been practice taekwondo for long time and currently 4th dan black in taekwondo, there are major flaws and limitation in taekwondo that had bad directions so I add other styles that will be effective in combat from boxing (as main foundation), kickboxing, muay thai, brazillian jujitsu (still beginner level), 5 % of hapkido, kali, 5% of capoeira , kung fu (5% of choy li fut, 5% of wing chun, 5% of long fist, and 5% of tai chi and as main principle of foundation), 5% of karate and Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do and legitimate hip hop dancing. I use to fought in Point Karate as a teenager. I was very good kicker as taekwondo guy but my punches and defense against punches sucks from the way traditional martial arts taught even traditionalist told me that I am good kicker but my hand techniques sucks, I refused to use hand techniques, even I tried it, never work for me till I amazed with boxing with Muhammad Ali, Roy Jones, James Toney and Floyd Mayweather. Especially Mayweather's philly shell defense that able to learn that took me a time to get it, punches with less robotic with more fluid motion (kung fu principle foundation) and efficient and compact way to avoid get punched in the face with slick defense.Bruce Lee was practice Wing Chun but it is flawed and very limited styles so he added boxing (as main foundation), taekwondo, kali (nunchucks as main). fencing, and cha cha dancing. Bruce Lee and I are in same boat that we both are amazed with boxing because punches are very effective, very fluid the way to throw punch with power by body weight do the work, good defense to avoid to get punched in the face in the very efficient way like be in compact defense positions. Thats why he is a founder of Jeet Kune Do. Jeet Kune Do is functional Wing Chun with boxing foundations.
I don't have a real school yet because of no money to open up my school but I teach at my friend's garage as a start from the scratch. I want thanks to my friend to gave me a place to teach at because of there family wants to learn martial arts from me. I had been want to become a founder of my own expression of martial arts ever since I walked into spiritual journey but I have no source of that so I was thinking, I have to wait for my turn. Since I found my friend that is so rare and very lucky to found that he is like my brother that gave me a place to teach is garage. It is not a martial arts school, it is a martial arts clubs. I don't teach martial arts for free because it is a value of martial arts that I don't want martial arts to turn into devalued. I charged not too expensive or not too cheap as for now as once again, club, not school. In that case, I would not focus too much on price, I would focus on mostly qualities and legitimate.The training area and equipment are may not be the most state of art but qualities and legitimate of a martial arts are there.
I teach kids, teenagers, adults and autistic or non autistic like underdevelopment kids with behavior issues in private classes only with only limited time and numbers. I teach martial arts are different than many martial arts school that my students that had individual training as treat like open training as I teach classes except for autistic and under development kids because I encourage inner discipline to better ourselves, self motivation and battle boredom to be free no matter how redundant it is there always a room to improve and increase better behavior and habits that will get a great results that will change your life. The way it works as Student learn and work on techniques for sparring. Students understand the science or mechanics, practice like sparring, and techniques will be self test in sparring that techniques will work, not or need work on it as self discovery.Fitness will be as a warm up, in the middle and at the end as most of time but if sore (as majority students), light training like work on techniques to get better in.The Rankings at Arron's Martial Arts Revolution are under constructions that I have to make a concrete decisions but far as no rankings as right now, turn out fine because the legitimate skills through self discipline, self motivations, dedications and hard work are way more important than rankings because this is only and natural way to get you to advanced and elite level. Why I create my own ranking is under construction because belt ranking in martial arts, the standards are crap. Rankings in martial arts had been severely corrupted as from watered down version and mcdojo martial arts scam off of students. Far as making money, I had nothing wrong with that. I am both, make a living and passion for martial arts. I had nothing wrong with being a sales person, I am not a good sales person but I like to learn how to sell but being a salesy as scam off of student that lie for living, I have a problem with that. To be a sales person, I believe in honesty of my quality, legitimate and passion for martial arts. The biggest problem in corruption in rankings, they build false senses of confidence that there mind are so corrupted. Other biggest problem in many martial arts school is over belt testing to profit off of it as for additional income that had been too much stress on instructors and students that I felt that students are really distracted like higher rank students don't know how to do a simple techniques that is so embarrassment. Other things that I can not stand as rank standard in martial arts is kids and adult are same standard that is not separating at all.Wonder why martial arts had a bad reputation. I gave mad props to Brazilian Jujitsu for made the standard really high that takes a year from white belt to blue belt. Also takes 10 year and more to become a black belt. Why BJJ took decades to become a black belt, reason is there are no short cuts and skip techniques in martial arts what so ever. Brazilian Jujitsu did very good job kept the standard really high that takes decades to become a black belt, not only that, kids and adults are separated of a belt standards like you have to 16 years old to become a blue belt.The appropriate age to teach Spiritual Eastern Philosophy, not so much on children, maybe teenagers, but mostly for adults because they had been experienced life that will learn Eastern Spiritual Philosophy that never know about themselves but it is a life changing through enlightenment.As I teach my own expression of martial arts are breaking down order to complete with all 3 are body, mind and spirit. As for children especially, all 3 component in martial arts take longer time to get really good to get completed. Children in martial arts, we touch on physical or body as first thing to develop, self defense is need it deal with bullies, we don't need to touch on too much on life skills because children don't live the life yet to experience it, maybe school life but not over dose that kids will lose interest in. Mental is no need much, just little reason is kids are now days are into video games that is not completely negative but addicted to videogames are. Instead of mental development for children, physical is needed because children will battle against possible childhood obesity and video game addictions. Far as mental is needed for is self defense. Reason is I notice children don't know how to hold still, I don't say in traditional static way, no but stay in good defensive in there mind or else will be attacked that ended up being defenseless. For Children far as self defense body and mind are a reasonable to learn because there are bullies in school. Spiritual or philosophy are no needs at all because of we don't need to corrupt their minds unless been into place were tend to be were not meant to be them, then we touch on spirit or philosophy. For Teenagers, we touch to train physically with spiritual tips through inner discipline, self motivation and battle the boredom reason is many teenagers today don't know how to mind their own business that they don't have nothing better to do for themselves that they are so childish, therefore, train physical with go beyond knowing it to battle the boredom for better habit through better behavior. Self Defense is always need it to deal with bullies that come from train in martial arts. Mental is need that must have real sense of mental means non corrupted mind that there are no false sense of confidence, Spiritual or Philosophy it depends on individuals that if they tend to be were are not meant to be, then it's a good time to be on a spiritual journey. For Adults are well developed is like must be at least 21 years to become a Parent, Military, Police Officer and Own a Legal Guns. Adult also will learn the fitness and flexibility to relieve stress, battle obesity and boredom through training, real sense of mental and science of unarmed combat, later will learn weapon combat and Spiritual Eastern Philosophy as from mediation, read spiritual books like Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu, Confucius, Osho and Tao of Jeet Kune Do with opportunity to speak through their reflections of their understanding.
