i back in june joined this institute with the promises that i would advance at my own pace. during my time here i belt tests for the entire dojo were delayed and delayed and delayed! to be in this class you are required to buy books and rent movies, as well as pay a membership entry into the “books and movies” club! isnt the martial arts also about not trying to make money out of everything!!!! furthermore no way of advancing past just black belt, no hope of ever reaching second third or fourth dan rank, as this is not sponsored by any national orginization. many of what shidoshi will tell you i have remembered and looked up and found to be false! just made up to make his orginization look better! I much greatly reccomend Sensai Perry of hendersonville, boxing coach Chris Sawtelle of hendersonville or se.nsai Darren Norris of Etowah. these gentlemen have truely respecatable admirable talents.

I?ve and studied under Shidoshi Wiberly more tha a decade. I started back in 1995 while living in Los Angeles and continued to train while living abroad in Mexico City, traveling back and forth from Mexico to L.A. He even gave me lessons through phone while preparing myself for my Brown Belt test! And that, I?m proud to say, was a unique and very interesting experience, that I certainly treasure. I can only say that his knowledge of the Martial Arts is truly extraordinary. He?s been my spiritual mentor and guide for 14 years , and his teachings have helped me to overcome, not only the obvious aspects of street violence, but the more subtle difficulties of everyday life, which can be just as difficult and demanding. Shidoshi Wimberly will not only teach you the physical aspects of Chinese Kenpo, a truly devastating, brutal and effective self defense system, but you will also learn about the advanced mental and spiritual (Alas! Not religious) aspects of the Martial Arts trough a rigorous but otherwise fun and enlightening training program. At the ACK you?ll learn not to defend yourself through already proven combat techniques, you? and sparring sessions, you?ll also learn an array of kicks, punches and katas….but also to grow as an individual and to become a much better person, which is the true goal of the Martial Arts. People say that “Any bloody fool can pull a trigger”, and in some instances that can also be said of many, so called “martial arts schools”, where they only only teach people how to beat the opponent to a pulp, no philosophy, no respect, and with the proper training anyone can learn how to kick or punch effectively…Ah! But to actually become a true Warrior-Sage, that?s another different matter entirely. At the ACK, Shidoshi Wimberly will share with you his more than 40 years of experience, and if you truly embrace the Martial Way and immerse yourself into his wonderful and eye-opening teachings, you will truly be amazed of what you will be able to accomplish, in the Martial Arts and in your personal life as well. And if that?s what you?re looking for, learning the true essence of Budo, the Martial way, then by all means join the ACK! I can assure you that you won?t be disappointed, at all.
