MAUSA MEMBER SPOTLIGHT- AKF Athens Martial Arts
AKF Athens Martial Arts is a traditional martial arts school. Not only do they teach usable physical skills and techniques, but they also emphasize the development and growth of the total individual. AKF Athens works to instill in their students such values and attributes as tolerance, serenity, self-discipline, self-confidence, and respect for others. Their black belt staff is dedicated to providing the finest possible instruction and guidance in order to produce students who, because of their mental and physical sense of well-being, find little need to rely on the use of physical force.
The head instructor of AKF Athens Martial Arts is Mr. Ken Blumreich, overseen by Grandmaster Tommy Lunsford and Master Lloyd Holden. Mr. Blumreich has been active in the martial arts since 1990. He opened his own studio in 2000 and joined MAUSA in 2007 after merging his existing studio with Itto Self Defense under Grandmaster Tommy Lunsford.
The primary martial arts style is Kyuki-Do, a Korean martial art that incorporates elements of Tae Kwon Do, Hapkido and Judo. Kyuki-Do was introduced to the United States in 1967 by Grand Master Ok Hyung Kim, the founder of the art. Grand Master Kim went on to found the American Kyuki-Do Federation (Kyuki-Do's sanctioning body) in 1979. Kyuki-Do is designed to be practical, versatile, and effective at a variety of different ranges and in a variety of different situations. The Tae Kwon Do - derived kicks and strikes provide excellent power at medium and long range, while the throws, locks, chokes and joint manipulation of Judo and Hapkido allow for effective close range fighting and grappling. Kyuki-Do is a living, growing martial art that continues to expand and change. In addition to the core elements of Tae Kwon Do, Judo and Hapkido, Kyuki-Do also includes techniques from Jujitsu, Karate, boxing, wrestling, traditional weapons from Okinawa and the Philippines, and many other arts and styles. Kyuki-Do is more than just an effective system of self defense; it is a martial art that encourages students to realize their own potential, physically, mentally and spiritually. Students of Kyuki-Do learn discipline, self-control, patience, persistence and respect for themselves and others. Students are expected to continually strive to perfect themselves, both in the do jang, and in every other area of their life.

ARTICLES An Introduction to the “Circles of Influence Concept” and the Four Ranges of Combat by Ken Lones
The Master’s Circle concept in its totality provides the student with a complete understanding of the ranges of combat, body positioning, body movement, and the ability to perform all technical aspects of the Martial Arts and it would take volumes to discuss the importance of its meaning in training. However, in order to comprehend this concept, the student must begin by breaking down the components. The core of the Master’s Circle defines the individual(s) at the center of the conflict and provides an understanding of the four (4) basic ranges of combat through the use of Tactical
Geometry.
Each individual is surrounded by three (3) basic “Circles of Influence” and has four (4) basic patterns of movement. Using the above reference chart (inset square), imagine looking down on an individual preparing to engage in combat. NOTE: The line segments identify the position of the individual where they intersect.
Basic Circles of Influence
a. The outside circle is the farthest applicable point in which the individual may attack with a kick. b. The middle circle is the farthest applicable point in which the individual may attack with a hand
strike whether it is a punch or other applicable method. c. The innermost circle defines the body’s core position. It is at this range where control of the
opponent’s limbs comes into play through trapping or locking methods.
6.
6| P a g e
Basic Patterns of Movement
d. The center line that defines forward and reverse movement. e. The cross line that defines lateral movement –right and left.
NOTE: These are base level explanations of movement. As we progress in training we learn to cut the angles through tai sabaki to add diagonal stepping.
Once you understand how these “Circles of Influence” are drawn to define the attacker and the defender in an applicable situation, the student is able to research how distance dictates the most applicable attack and defense method. Using the reference chart provided, the student should be able to view the importance of controlling the distance within a fight.
Four (4) Basic Ranges of Combat
(NOTE: reference 1 and 2 are provided for clarity sake and are considered to be a part of a separate topic)
1. The attacker and defender square off. Neither is in a position to attack the other. In order to attack, an individual must commit to movement.
2. The attacker has closed the distance thus increasing the threat. Although not able to attack without
continuing to commit to movement, the attacker is in a position to quickly and decisively “close the gap” to quickly take control of the fight.
3. Long Range/Kicking Range: The outermost circles have overlapped. This is the first of the four (4)
ranges of combat. At this point, both the attacker and defender may use kicks against one another.
4. Medium Range/Striking Range: The midpoint circles have overlapped. At this range, both the attacker and defender may use hand techniques.
5. Close Range/Trapping Range: The innermost circles have overlapped. At this range, a variety of
trapping and/or locking methods may be used to control the fight.
6. Close-Close Range/Grappling Range: This is a complete overlap of the two base representative drawings. This may be defined as the “Killzone” or “Bullseye” in class (a Ken’ism). What is meant by these definitions is that all of a fighter’s attributes have come into play. Both individuals have the ability to kick, strike, trap, and grapple with the opponent. The reference chart for this range is separated out and shown darker than the others to note its importance. At this range, someone will ultimately be in total domination of the fight. It is “do or die” range. Either the attacker or the defender is in the “crosshairs” and one is about to be “Shotdown”(a Ken’ism)

Challenge: See how well you stack up by Andrew Stolarik
When training for the next big thing or just training I like to keep the intensity level high. Why? Because it helps me to keep focused as to why I am training. You never know who will challenge you, a Jiu-Jitsuan will challenge you to test your skill level. It is always a fight. There are several individuals out there who share my training habits and my philosophy of training. I learn from these individuals and keep them in good company for inspiration as well.
At the end of each article I write for the VOICE I will attach a challenge workout to be completed. They will be challenging but will also train you physically and mentality. Keep in mind this is how I train too and I will also be completing them as well. Your goal is to just do it at any time, any place and with any type of clothing you have on. I assume that you do not have any access to a gym or weights. I call these types of workouts Spartan Prison Challenges because you are training like one of the best warriors and in a confined area. The outcome of these workouts is to prove to yourself that you can rise to called occasion to live life and survive.
So, for the first Challenge I want you to start training for a 5k race. Take this month and start running. Start out slow and by the end of the month run a 5k race. You can download a couch to a 5k race program to help you; however, I found it easier to just start running. Run for distance and then walk for the same distance that you just ran. For example- run for about 100 meters, than walk for 100 meters. Do these for one mile by the end of the week try to run one 1 mile and make your rest periods very short. Keep doing this until you can run for 1 mile without stopping. Now it’s time to start pushing yourself and go for two miles and then three miles.
Another way to train is starting using circuit training with your running. For 5 sets (rounds) complete- 10 push-ups, run 100 meters, 25 squats and time yourself. For the more advanced 5 rounds complete- 25 push-ups, run 400 meters, 25 squats. Always time yourself keeping your training quick. Do not drag it out because if you do than you will get bored and not complete the training.
I know for some of you 5k (3.1 miles) maybe to long but if you want it bad enough than you will get it. While training, add in sets of 15 push-ups as well, this will help with your endurance. Now, go and sign up for a 5k race. In the next edition I will post my time so you can see that I do practice what I preach and also see if you can beat my time.
Author- Andrew Stolarik. I am not only a martial artist but I also competed in strongman contests, obstacle races, and road races. I am also a personal trainer to those who wants to live the warrior lifestyle.

NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
N EWS from Kawa Shi Judo Club
On June 23, 2012, Kawa Shi Judo/Jujutsu club in Decatur, AL, hosted a tournament to bring together multiple grappling styles. The tournament had fighters ranging from 6 years old to the mid 40s, and from the fighting styles of Judo, BJJ, Japanese Jujutsu, and 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu. Competitors came from as far away as Athens, GA. The club utilized the AAU (American Athletic Union) Freestyle Judo rules, with hopes to spread the tournament format so that they may host an AAU regional tournament.
“The tournament was a success. We did not expect to have as many competitors as we did. I believe we had approximately 25 fighters. It was awesome!” said Justin Jackson, the tournament coordinator.
NEWS from Hybrid Jiu-jitsu/Andrew Stolarik
July 21, 2012 there was a great grappling tournament (NAGA) that was held in Atlanta, GA. Dojos from all over the southeast gathered to take part in the event. Hybrid Jiu Jitsu attended the tournament with 5 fighters and all placed. Joseph Barnes (7 years/young) placed 2nd in the gi division, Steve Welden (54 years/ young placed 1st in the Expert division), Melissa Smith (women’s group placed 2nd in the no-gi division) and Josh Chandler (men’s group placed 3rd in the no-gi division). Steve, Melissa and Josh all had been training at Hybrid Jiu Jitsu for only 2 months with no prior
experience of ground fighting. Steve, however, has 35+ years of experience of wrestling which was very evident on the mat. They fought with honor and with very systematic movements. The best part was their mindset. They never gave up and fought with the heart of a warrior. It is an honor to have them as my students and for that I am very thankful.
I, Andy Stolarik, would like to congratulate Joseph Barnes, Steve Welden, Melissa Smith and Josh Chandler on their promotions in Jiu Jitsu. Joseph earned a stripe on his yellow belt. That stripe moves him one step closer to the next belt. Steve, Melissa and Josh earned their red stripe (Jukyu) on their white belt. These stripes are not easy to earn. It takes dedication, trust, a warrior mindset
and heart to earn a stripe and a belt from Hybrid Jiu Jitsu. This is a big honor to have. Congratulations to Everybody on their promotions.

Upon their return, the City of Bradenton (located on the west coast of Florida) rallied to show support for this warriors. A local landmark business took the time to advertise on their billboard to show their support. On July 22, 2012, Competitors of the US Open were honored by throwing out the first pitch to start the local Minor Leagues Baseball game (Bradenton Marauders). I would like to congratulate the US Open competitors and stress the importance of community involvement and support. With on-going public information, awareness, and education programs, school owners will continue to be a respected part of the community.

NEWS from one of our new members – Hamilton Judo Club
The Hamilton Judo Club began as a few guys getting together at Rhea Martials Arts under Nidan Lauren Rhea. Soon the interest caught on and the Hamilton Judo Club was formed. We currently have 10 students, a spring floor, and a whole lot of eagerness. Training is conducted on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday of each week. We are a low cost club and welcome people of all ages. We are excited to be affiliated with MAUSA.
On July 14, 2012, Dr. Beard and Master Hill held a clinic at the Hamilton Judo Club. They put us through the paces, covering five different throws, several arm locks, and most of the pins. We enjoyed it, but were quite sore for a few days.
From GM John Chambers
To All My Martial Arts Family: In the event that you have not heard, Professor Sands of the Orlando area passed away yesterday on the 5th of July. Vincent Sands was still very active in teaching the martial arts and to my knowledge had no serious health issues. It was a reported to me that Sands got up yesterday morning, grabbed his usual cup of coffee and went into the bathroom to shave and freshen-up. Without warning or any previous signs of trouble, he had a massive heart attack and fell to the floor. Members of his family heard him fall and found him on the floor. I had taught Vincent Sands and competed with him at
10| P a g e
several martial arts contests. His grandson who we called; "Quick Sands" was also a super competitor and worked his way up the ranks to black belt. Vincent Sands was a real gentleman, always had a big smile on his face, and would grab and hug his friends no matter where they were. Vincent was a family man and took care of his responsibilities as a father, caring for a daughter who was handicapped for so many years. He was a great teacher, competitor and a real personal friend of mine. I do not have any information on burial arrangements yet, but will pass them on for those who were close to him. May he rest in peace, Professor John Chambers, Retired, Founder of MAUSA.
DID YOU KNOW?
Congrats to Kayla Harrison and all US competitors
