The Super Dan Online Academy

Hi All,

Here is something that will be of interest to many of you! Many of you will know Dan Anderson from his seminal book 1980 book “American Freestyle Karate”. You may also know that he’s a high ranking Arnis teacher and I’ve personally had the privilege of training in Arnis with Dan (see video from 2007 below). No matter what aspect of the martial arts he’s teaching, his ability to break things down and communicate the key things needed to get results is very impressive. He makes it fun too!

Dan has recently set up a website that provides step by step instruction on a variety of topics (see blurb below). I’ve got access to that site and I’m very impressed by the structure and the content. Dan is currently offering a three-day FREE tour and it’s well worth checking out!

All the best,

Iain

 

The Super Dan Online Academy - The Virtual Dojo for the 21st Century

"My purpose is to enhance your skill set and knowledge base.  It doesn't matter to me if you're a taekwondo or karate-do or kung fu practitioner or one of the many other arts.  I want you to become a better martial artist no matter the system or area you are skilled in.  What I teach are concepts and principles which you can insert into your existing skill-sets.

"Example: The Five Pillars of the Super Dan Method of Free-fighting are perception based, not technical or attribute based.  Perception is universal.  That is the beauty of what the Super Dan Online Academy.  Each of the programs are set up to enhance or add to your existing knowledge and skill base.  This was my successful action to attain my own martial arts skill.  The online academy is to pay it forward."  - Dan Anderson
