Why learn martial arts and self defense (self protection) from me?

I'll keep this short and sweet. My name is Bishop Lewis. I'm a native Oxonian, and I have a degree from the University of MS. I'm a family man who loves his wife and daughter. I'm a retired, career police officer with 25 years of experience. I've practiced martial arts for 36 years, and I've taught martial arts for 23 years now. What makes my class different is my combined experience in several different martial arts, time as a full-contact fighter when I was younger, and my years as a cop. I've modernized what we do by creating an "urban combatives" system with Wing Chun, Muay Thai, Kali, and several other arts, plus police-style tactics for the current world we live in. In addition to the actual techniques of LMASD, I teach my students important life skills like situational awareness, basic survival, and what to actually do if they have to protect themselves (how to interact with police officers in a positive way, get a lawyer, etc.). I want my students to be prepared for real life, not a kung fu movie.

About My School

My school is open to anyone who leads a good life and can check their ego at the door. I keep my class semi-private, which means I intentionally never let it go over 10 students. I want each of my students to get the most out of my instruction. We meet twice a week in the evenings for an hour-and-a-half (see the Class Schedule link at the top of the page). I expect my students to attend each class, school, work, or emergencies aside. We wear normal, comfortable clothes and shoes (because that's what you're going to have to protect yourself in). Previous martial arts experience is welcome but not necessary. Age or physical conditioning does not matter; you're never too old or out of shape to start protecting yourself. I don't care about belts and ranks. I think doing martial arts is the reward. When you learn the fundamentals of LMASD, and I feel confident that you can protect yourself and your loved ones, you will get your certificate and a black sash from me. Other than that, take pride in the fact that you're training a skill that could save your life and having some fun along the way.

My classes cost $100 a month, and I don't haggle about the price. There are no other costs or any equipment to buy.

If this interests you, and you're ready to dedicate the necessary time, practice, and money, you can email me at: lewismasd@gmail.com, or you can call me at (662) 832-7717 (between 8am and 8pm, please leave a message, and I'll return your call as soon as possible).

Thanks, Bishop
