Introduction
Welcome to the Blackbird Training Group based in Kennewick, WA. We seek to challenge ourselves by training to develop practical skills for self-protection. You won't find a wizened old man telling you to "wax on, wax off," our training approach is pragmatic, efficient, and explicit. We emphasize skill development in both the armed and unarmed arts as we seek to obtain every possible edge in a conflict.
There are no secrets in martial arts, simply the information that the student hasn't been exposed to and the hard work that it will take to ingrain those skills. If this sort of personal challenge appeals to you, please contact us.
"This is the law:
The purpose of fighting is to win,
There is no possible victory in defense,
The sword is more important than the shield,
And skill is more important than either,
The final weapon is the brain.
All else is supplemental."
~John Steinbeck
