			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Another great training seminar with Coach Freedman. The people that attended were excited to learn these very simple and effective flexible weapon techniques. Who thought that you could be so dangerous with just a length of rope,  a belt or even a piece of cloth. Coach Freedman guided the class through several drills and then had everybody team up and practice the defenses he taught. Everybody was impressed how easy these were to perform. Pencak Silat Master Ismail Sujadi was on hand to show us some Indonesian flexible weapon techniques. I would not want to mess with him if he had a rope in his hands (or feet). Check out the video and stay tuned for information on Coach Freedman&#8217;s up coming Joint Stopper Seminar on July 25, 2010.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><a href="http://themartialartscoach.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/FlexibleWeaponsTrainingforJune_81AA/chain5big.jpg"><img style="display: inline; border: 0px;" title="chain5big" src="http://themartialartscoach.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/FlexibleWeaponsTrainingforJune_81AA/chain5big_thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="chain5big" width="121" height="225" /></a>Coach Freedman is a big proponent for the use of flexible weapons. One of the reasons is that these type of weapons are readily available and for the most part legal.

<p>Here is another Self Defense video I filmed with Guro Phil Duldulao as the camera man, editor &amp; director. Ryan Birmingham Sensei Guro is helping me out.</p>

<p>Please understand that most of my videos are designed to teach people at home who may never had any martial arts experience before. To accomplish this, I go slow and talk everybody through the lessons.</p>
<p>There are a ton of videos out there where the instructor or master teacher is moving very quickly and it is hard to follow.  I want my videos to be different. I believe that slow teaching gets the lesson through. Speed comes from constant practice. For those who can’t learn at a fast speed,  these videos are dedicated to you.</p>
<p>Please watch and let me know what you think. I will be producing a lot more like this. Tell your friends and family that they may learn also. Leave your comments on these posts.</p>
<p>With Big Respect as always!<br />
Coach Freedman</p>
