Bo Kimly, Shihan, is a 7th Dan black belt in Ju-Jutsu, from Stockholm, Sweden, where he headed an organization that operated six martial arts schools before coming to the USA in 1994 and is now living in Columbus, OH. He is a head instructor and author of two books Seiei Kan Ju-Jutsu vol. I and II. The books are available at the seminar. He has 38 years experience in Martial Arts, (black belt in Judo, Karate, and Ju-Jutsu). He is also a Police Defense of Tactic's Instructor and Police ASP baton instructor. Shihan Kimly is the president of the Martial Arts Alliance and head coach of the U.S.A. Ju-Jutsu Team, Self-Defense and Ju-Jutsu Club at Ohio State University. Kimly also teaches Ju-Jutsu, Karate, and Judo at martial arts school in Hilliard Ohio.

95% of all real fights, without a referee's intervention, go into grappling range. Most all real fights go into a clinch and eventually end up on the ground. This is the "key" to real hand-to-hand combat. You will not learn it in movies by watching some famous martial arts "star" execute beautiful high kicks to the bad guy's head. Unfortunately most systems do not teach what to do if this does happen--Seiei Kan Ju-Jutsu does. This is the ultimate self-defense. It will help you in many ways!

For those of you who have seen the ULTIMATE FIGHTING CHALLENGE or some of other full contact, everything goes "sport" on Pay-Per-View, you know how devastating the Ju-Jutsu people can be!! It is a practical fighting style!! Well, if you saw it on TV and liked it, you can join in the fun on seminar day!

Most seminars like these by masters like Bo Kimly cost 3-4 times more! This is a very affordable price. Attend one or both for the same price each. Bring workout clothing or your karate, judo uniform.

WELCOME! BRING YOUR FRIENDS!!
WOMEN DEFEND YOURSELVES!!!

Brian Dietz became the two-time US National Champion on October 15th, and was a US team member at the World Championship in Madrid Spain in November 2004. He attended the Dutch Open in January and is planning to compete at the German Open June 3rd. He will also be competing in multiple Ju-Jutsu, Karate and Judo tournaments here in the US this year. Also, Martial Arts Alliance Students Scott Good and Jeremy Ghent won Gold and Bronze Medals respectively at the Nationals in October. This year the World Championship will be held in Rotterdam, Holland the week of Thanksgiving, both Brian and I are planning to attend and I am hoping that we will have some more students make the US Team. Anybody can travel with the US Team to Holland to show their support and have a good time, let me know if you are interested to go yourself or with your family. Another way to support our US Team members is to become a sponsor. So, if you, your company, or somebody you know can help us to offset the cost of travel, hotel, competition fees and other expenses, please contact me.
