"The goal of a school is to teach a person something new;
the goal of a traditional School is to transform the person into something new."

Traditional Chang Moo Kwan

 


  Chang Moo Kwan "Martial Training School" was created in Korea at the time of war.  Because if its rigorous training and discipline, CMK has been very successful spreading world wide.  My personal experience with Traditional CMK began at an after school program (much like Street Smart) promoting  ChangMooKwan  as the "Inner High School Association of Chang Moo Kwan." 
 
     Master George Fullerton
led this very  successful program that was later attributed to many success stories including my own.

The Street Smart Self Defense System

 


 
-After 22 years of ChangMooKwan, I have shed my black belt for a new journey.  A journey in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I have in a sense emptied my cup in anticipation of a new beginning. 


The "Street Smart system" was developed by Instructor Alex Paredes to encourage, guide and facilitate the success of many inner city youth unable to attend traditional and commercial training centers. 
 
The "Street Smart" Program encompasses traditional ways of the martial arts combined with street experience from a law enforcement standpoint.  The Program also has an emphasis  on academics, outstanding citizenship and leadership. Street Smart started at World of Difference private school and called the Uplands YMCA home for over 4 years.  On it's third year at the Redlands Community Center, we are honored to have the support of the Redlands Police Department and the community. Thank you.
