THE STUDENT

RTMS is a collection of warriors who desire to attain perfection in mind, body, and spirit.  Its members are of clean heart and true purpose, driven by a desire to be the best they can be. The group is what makes a RTMS possible, a collection of elite persons who are brought together for the task of achieving the same goals. A group is a team; all members work towards the same dreams and in doing so, accomplish their own. Whether inside or out, with RTMS you'll see and learn more than ever before. Anyone with dedication and interest in RTMS can be a part of the a club. As an individual you showcase your talents and as a team you complete the puzzle.

The goal of a RTMS student is to not just be a good martial artist, but also to become a complete human being. It is our firm belief that it is not in the paper but "in the doing" that makes the difference and it is your doing that counts. But what exactly is a RTMS practitioner? Below we give a few examples of what you can expect to become.

A warrior

To be a true warrior you must accept challenges to increase the growth of your peak performance. RTMS trains today's Total Warriors. A warrior is not limited to indoor knowledge but one who experiences firsthand the rigors of survival, harsh training, and personal development. A warrior is prepared to deal with any challenge or situation, not just a combat situation. He learns other skills, such as traversing across a rope or memorizing a long list of techniques. RTMS incorporates the most effective and realistic forms of physical and mental training.

A traveler

Experienced students in the system will agree that after being with the system as members, assistants, or instructors they would have seen, done, and become more. Tew's Tours and training programs are the only organization that offers this unique aspect of all terrain travel and training. Exploration trips like Adventure America are a full three weeks of total training and a vacation in the mountains, beaches, and deserts all rolled into one. Students are constantly given the opportunity to expand their knowledge through travel and training.

A teacher

In order to get what you want it is essential to help others get what they want. Every student is a teacher, whether a grey, red, or black blet. Teaching helps us learn and understand more about what we are dealing with, as well as offers a helping hand to someone along his/her road to achievement. RTMS is more than a school for Martial Science; with your knowledge you get to help others achieve the same goals.

A leader

There are two kinds of people in the world: followers and leaders. RTMS teaches its students to become leaders. If you are not in control of your own life and destiny, then it will be controlled by your surroundings. A leader is not left to being the victim of circumstance; a leader takes action and gets the job done. In order to be a great leader, however, you must first have been a great follower.

A dreamer

A man without a goal is a man without success. Dreams are the forces that make miracles happen. You can call it luck or chance, but belief and action toward a specific goal will increase your life's worth. Without goals and dreams, you are left to drift and be directed by the plans of others, never to arrive at the destiny you seek. A practitioner sets high goals that may seem impossible to others, but to a believing dreamer they are well within his grasp.

A student

An educated audience gets the best show; the same is true with a martial artist. No one is ever finished learning. The instructors themselves are always the best students. The desire to gain more skill and more wisdom is a never-ending factor, even to the greatest of warriors. Perhaps that is what made them so great!

A strategist

It is best to win without fighting; thus, the true warrior must also be a strategist. There are many strategies that are taught to the educated students. Strategies such as Miyamoto Musashi's nine principles from his "Book of Five Rings" is an example of what we use to help create a personal achievement strategy and guide to success. These skills give the practitioner more avenues and examples to aid in any situation whether combat-oriented or in daily living.

A finisher

Dedication is important in becoming a Total Warrior. When in training, one must eat, drink, and sleep the Martial Science. Set high goals and attain them. When you leave your training area, you must learn not to leave your training there also. If you wish to improve, you must constantly challenge yourself. If you cannot take risks, you are keeping yourself from experiencing the thrill of improvement. If you have the willingness to strive for the best, then you have what it takes. If you have self-confidence and self-discipline, then you can do it. If you are committed to personal achievement and success, then it will be done.
