In what systems can you find each style?

LOST LEGACY SYSTEMS’ MMA, itself, is strategically a combined force of what Grand Master Le Grand calls “the Ultimate Mixed Martial Arts Program” with the base of JUDO JU-JITSU KARATE-DO and SUBMISSIONS GRAPPLING. It accompanied with the elements of Boxing, Kobu-jitsu, Kung Fu, Tae Kwon Do, and Gymnastics making it the well rounded martial arts.  In simple terms, it teaches Street Self Defense, Kata (Forms), Traditional Weaponry, Grappling, Point-Sparring, and the MOST intense high impacted workout anyone can experience!!! It is a dream come true to practitioners and new comers to the Martial Arts. (YES folks, it can be done!) 1998

S.T.E.A.L.T.H. Kage Ninjutsu Ryu is, of course, the combination of old and new teachings of “the Silent and Invisible Warrior”, THE NINJA, for our day and time. It teaches all the methods, conditioning, weapons, tumbling, and “Subliminal Jedi Mind Tricks”. It focuses on a lot of outdoor training as well as indoor. There is not much we can say about this program but that you must be enlisted in our MMA program for about two (2) months before you can be view and selected to participate in it. You can ask but WE HAVE THE RIGHTS TO BE SELECTIVE!!! This is a TOTAL Street Defense System. Serious training involved! 1996

AFRAKATA System of the Phoenix is inspired & based on the African Royal Arts and dealing on the based African Icons of the Nigerian Yoruba Tribe, THE ORISHAs. It combines an intricate and diverse mixture of total body movements consisting of kicks, throws, punches, blocks, and stunts to the variation of powerful African drumming. (Similar to the Brazilian’s Capoiera). 1991

S5E (System of the Five Elements) teaches the use of implying the five key elements, (Earth, Fire, Water, Air, & Metal), and the forces of nature into fluent defensive and offensive movements as you, yourself, become ONE with that powerful force of element. The Iron Skirt Chi Gung is introduced and a key breathing method through your training.  System entirely based on teaches taught to Grand Master LeGrand on Shaolin, Wushu, and Hung Gar Kung Fu(s) through Grand Master Monk Jude Innocent and Sifu Carter Wong. Only a selected few qualify for this program so that its LEGACY be carried on. 1997

LOST LEGACY’s Kobu-Jitsu System teaches the all use, the well-rounded use, and the very technical use of objects available all around you as a total weapon no matter WHAT it is you pick up! Teaches the TRADITIONAL, Non-Traditional, and Modern uses of weapons. 2001 

LOST LEGACY's Police Arts System - This is a well strategic put together self defense course for Law Enforcement & the Military teaching them, without any major effort, to control all surroundings whether it is one on one or multiple attacks. It is constructed from arts such as Ju-Jitsu (joint locks & submissions), Judo (throws & chokes), Aikido (using ones momentum and power against themselves), Grappling (learning to shift both body weights for your advantage), Hand to Hand Combat (learning advanced hands on drills to make reactions instinct), the Iron Body conditioning method (strengthening the body through chi breathing to protect from blows), and Kobu-Jutsu/Kobudo (the total use of all weapons and objects available). We like to call this course the "straight to the point take out art". No traditions, No belt ranking, No bowing, Just the training consisting of drills, techniques & calisthenics. Copywritten & Created in 2001.

What is a “typical class”?

    We generally try to make each class have an element of it’s own character.  Class begins with the school creed then in “seiza” which is a short time of silence in a seated position with your eyes closed.  This allow you to relax, forget the day, and refocus your energies toward training.  After seiza, we begin a period of stretching that will vary from class to class.  Usually a black or brown belt will lead the warm up.  Following stretching, there is usually 

basics. We often run a cycle of basic training including stances, kicks, blocks and punches.  After basics, the class may take on several different avenues…depending on the students and instructor desires. 

A class, depending on day, might consist of…

1. Applied technique:  these are application of movements that the student learns and how to use them in situations against an opponent (standing upright or grappling).
2. Kata:  these are pre-arranged, choreographed series of movements where by the student is taught to defend against several imaginary opponents.  Kata workouts are demanding and precise.  There is really only one way to do the kata right, hence, the emphasis is on perfecting the kata.
3. Kumite:  this is actual sparring against an opponent.  Our kumite is spirited, very controlled and lots of fun.  Even white belts will get to spar with advanced black belts who can teach them while they spar with them.
4. Basics:  a class may consist of only basic movements or specifically on one or two techniques.
5. MMA:  Phoenix Sensei (Grand Master Le Grand) developed the style of LOST LEGACY which is a combination of judo, karate, juijitsu, grappling/wrestling and some of Phoenix Sensei’s “battle tested” techniques.

    Class ends with seiza followed by the “dojo creed” and respectful bows, hugs, and handshakes to the instructor(s) and fellow class mates.  Students will often “hang around” and enjoy the camaraderie of their training partners.
