Open Pocket DojoQuestions
What can I see before I pay?
Every lesson in all five belts is listed. Four are open free: Horse Stance, Cat Stance, Forward Roll and Reverse Roll.
Are the lessons on video?
Not today. Each lesson is the written method, the applications and the steps, with a step-by-step guide; the stances come with footprint diagrams.
How do I ask Rick a question?
On any lesson you can open, press Ask Sensei Tew. The answer comes back right there on the lesson.
Can my kids use it?
Sign-up is for adults, 18 and over. It is built for training with a parent, never for kids alone.
What are the Ninja Tools lessons?
The ninth area of every belt. Those lessons open after you accept a waiver.
What is the system behind it?
Rick Tew's Martial Science, the system I teach.
Rather train with me in person?
That is GNS, the two-week live-in program on Koh Samui.
