In Their Own Words

Go for it! Don’t let anyone hold you back from doing what you want to do with your life! Attending is the adventure of a lifetime, so if you think you have what it takes — just do it! You’ll be happy you did.

I have gained more strength, stamina, and creativity physically, mentally, and spiritually. My ability to communicate clearly and with confidence without being overbearing has also advanced my professional life.

I’m certain that if you attend you would have learned and realized useful things that would affect your overall quality and level of success in life. You will have learned how to get over your fears, learned to face challenges, you would have learned how to become more of a leader.

It’s a chance of a lifetime to get away from all the stresses of life and focus everything that you have on your training and self improvement. What I like the most is the variety of the system — which involves everyday life training with how to be healthy in mind, body, spirit and nutrition.

I’ve learned so much, upon recollection it’s unbelievable. I’ve learned to maximize my memory potential, set and follow through with goals, make the most out of my time, and take calculated risks. I can dive over chairs, flip in the air, climb high, dodge a knife, punch, kick and even do the splits. I’ve learned to relax, be happy, enjoy nature, and not worry about being afraid.

I’ve found I can push myself much harder and farther than I previously thought, and my resolve has increased as well.

It takes the best of rock climbing, hanging out with your friends, competing in a martial arts tournament and blows it all away!

Other schools only teach a fighting system like a competition and non-realistic self-defense techniques; in RTMS you learn real combat training applied like full contact sparring and situations for real self-defense. Not to mention weaponry, outdoor training, rock climbing and more.

The only thing I think I could really have to add to all of this is that this is an adventure in life. You might only get so many invitations to take such an adventure when you’re young before you get caught up in the struggle of life as it is today.

Most of my mind, body and spirit learning took place when I began reading Rick Tew’s articles on his web site. I have learned mental conditioning and mind-body anchoring techniques that I have been using since. I learned to be in total control of my emotions whether I wanted to be happy or depressed.

The martial arts and ninja training is really good and you learn many different things. Training varies so much and over different locations so you never get bored.

There’s more to this experience than just martial arts. An equal part of the program is helping you to see the areas in which your attitudes are negative or thoughts are inflexible or closed. Be ready for having these things subtly brought to light. For those unprepared, it can be unnerving. For those willing to grow and change, it’s encouraging.

I can vouch that Rick really does what he preaches, he walks the talk rather than talks the talk. He is very congruent in what he says and passionate as a result because he has actually lived it. He has a genuine energy about him, and that energy definitely comes from a place of contribution and creating value for others.

Rick is the most dynamic teacher and person that I’ve had the pleasure to train with and learn from. Years later and I’m still amazed how his lessons still enrich my life.

This is the place where anyone that likes exercise will enjoy. You can be an expert martial artist, and still you will be a beginner somewhere in the system — be it weapons, body movement, or maybe you’ll pee your pants on the side of a rock 500 feet high. So this is a place where everyone can learn something.
