Chief Master Rudy W. Timmerman established his school in 1973 and called it Ancient Fighting Arts. Master Timmerman took his team across the globe to compete with the best in the martial art world and many of his students became World Champions. Today, his school is the oldest established martial art school in the city. We attribute this success to unequaled quality of instruction, uncommonly good service, and the personal care Master Timmerman gives his students.

After a severe back injury sidelined Master Timmerman for several years, his focus changed from competition to providing life-skills for his students through martial art training. Although we still excel in competition, now our programs are specially designed to enhance self-discipline, focus, attention span, self-esteem, fitness, as well as release from the stress of today's busy schedules.

Parents of our young students love our STAR character development program, and the scholastic achievement of our young students is simply astounding. Master Timmerman is now working hard on a new program he plans to implement in the Fall of '99. This program deals directly with conflict resolution and anger management.

Master Timmerman and his Senior Instructors have a very unique quality most other martial art schools lack. A decade ago, as a result of Master Timmerman's long range vision of the direction martial arts would take, he and his Head Instructor went back to University in order to obtain Degrees in Recreation and Exercise Science. We don't just ask our students to work hard in school, we lead by example!
