Our Mission:

The mission at Pecoraros Academy of Martial Arts is to empower our members with the physical, mental and emotional skills necessary to be successful in life. By emphasizing self-defense, health, fitness and life skills in a friendly, safe, positive environment, we inspire our students to become more confident, successful contributing members of our community. The values of respect, self-control, patience, courtesy and integrity are the corner stones of what we teach.

What You Can Expect From Us:

Our Academy is one of the premier martial arts school in the nation, guiding individuals from all walks of life and in all age groups, to reach their full potential. The physical benefits of our programs are matched by equally powerful mental advantages. Because of their indomitable spirit, the committed martial artist sees huge benefits in the everyday world.

For children, this means better grades in school and better behavior at home. Teens gain a level of clarity that gives them a huge advantage in dealing with the complexities in their lives. And for adults, this translates directly to increased success in business and more fulfilling personal relationships.

Our Invitation To You:

Learning martial arts is fun and provides lifelong benefits, but we know it can be a little intimidating to jump right into a class. We invite you to come in for a free trial offer with no obligation. Youll learn some basics and we'll answer all your questions. We'll give you a tour of our facility and if youd like, we'll introduce you to our staff and some of our other students.

You'll see for yourself how we help people of all ages develop physical and mental skills to help them be their very best in all aspects of their lives.

nice moves!

are u into some iaido or kenjutsu or aikido or ... what "system" have u learned with the katana ?

[RohnertParkKarate]

I have studied Iaido and kendo. However, this is neither. This is a freestyle kata demonstrated with an aluminum training sword. I'm not trying to be something I'm not (a sword master, for example) - I'm just demonstrating something flashy and fun that some people get a kick out of :)

[Validole]

As a demonstration, good. I doubt an opponent would idly stand by and let you perform all this without disturbing you, however. With your sword behind you and spinning in your hand, I doubt you could react very quickly to an attack from front. Well... I'd get smoked, sword or no sword, but it's just something I noticed.

[RohnertParkKarate]

I agree with you regarding the lack of practicality regarding this demonstration. However, it is simply intended to be a dynamic demonstration and not a drill fro practical application. Thank-you for your comment.

[NotMeButAnother]

Seems very good to me, good balance, he is standing stabile while whirling around that katana, and good control.

A question to the Kenshi... a western swordfighter will step forward with the leg on the attacking side - however I noticed the guy in the video doing it the opposite way... is he just fighting nontraditional style, or is there a katana style that steps with the leg opposing the attack?

[RohnertParkKarate]

Thank you for your comment. This is in fact a non-traditional form. It's meant to be more of a dynamic demonstartion form. Therefor, we've removed many of the traditional elements so purists don't become offended. However....most do anyway. It's just the nature of the martial arts.

[sraphael]

Wow, that was fantastic. You're very brave using a full-on katana like that. You're very graceful with your movement and that katana is beautiful.

Thankyou!

[pokemaniac34X]

i want a katana.

[mcprophetb]

i must say you have a true martial arts approach to speaking an i respect you more for howw you have answered these comments then the act of the form itself very well done on both

[saurabhb47]

Hey. whats your name man?? amazing. watched your other videos of training...u a martial art god or something?? please tel me your name if u dun have a prob....please

[moojuiceman]

Wonderful skills sir. Much respect. You obviously devote much time to the arts. A word of advice though: dont invest so much into the western perception of martial arts. Its quite empty. (the percieved ideology, not your mad skills)

And read some Krishnamurti (philosopher).

[eteune]

this is fun stuff and I like it, but the first sword can cut (the apple scene at the beginning), the second 'sword' is more like an aluminum tube (the one he twirls around)

It would be nice to see it done with an Iaito. I am going to try with an Iaito I think.

[richie20691]

its all great. looks fantastic. but do you reall think you would be able to spin a propper samurai sword around like that? they whey alot :S

[MercenaryJames]

Very well done. I have noticed with these videos an essance of Kung Fu, I'm glad its not just me.

[emace3]

heeey i remember you i was like 7 when i went yo your tae kwon do classes..... good times!"

[Shindai]

I'm curious, guy in the DVD is clearly skilled in traditional sword use - why go on to the spinny flash stuff? Nothing wrong with that of course, it looks good, but seems to me someone who spends time learning the simple stuff would want to keep it simple. Ah well either way, good skills, well done

[Johnnythemilkman08]

Not if u had a gun, or a nuke lol

[Britishbulldog87]

very, very very nice sword technique here man.
