Testimonials

Being an experienced Martial Artist I'm always curious to see what's out there. I consider my self a Martial Arts "Scholar" and was delighted to meet a fellow colleague Tom Gallo.

Always looking to improve and enhance my skill level I started studying Kyusho under Tom. Curious about his system T.A.C.T.I.C.S. I attended a session which turned into a private lesson (lucky me!).
Tom's approach to teaching T.A.C.T.I.C.S. is similar to the approach I use in teaching our system of F.A.L.C.O.N. COMBAT SCIENCES ( forgive me Tom for the shameless plug ... lol) .... the approach of principle and concepts before techniques. Teaching the "why"... why this works ... makes learning the "how" much easier. With this approach the student not only learns at a faster pace but also a greater chance for retention.

As a Martial Artist I highly recommend beginners as well as seasoned Martial Artist to try a class, I'm happy I did.

Again thank you Tom for sharing your knowledge and skill.

Respectfully

Ferdie Uson

Tom

I just wanted to go on the record

I have trained with you and have been instructed by you and I have to say your knowledge and training methods are second to no one.

What you bring to the table would benefit anyone you train. You are the guy I want in the foxhole with me.

I think it's amazing you keep learning new and better ways to train us.

Thanks again for your support.

WAPPP

Hey Tom,

You guys were great! Even though it is a serious topic you, Tony and Marvin created a comfortable and fun environment in which to learn the targets. Hope never to use these targets – but I feel better knowing I have a smarter way to defend myself.

Thanks for your encouragement and support.

Fanny J.

Oh my goodness, just wanted to thank you, tony and the rest of the guys who were nice enough to let us demo. It was to me totally worth it and have been telling all my friends here at work how they really really should consider doing this class. I was impressed and think that this class is beneficial to anyone no matter your experience or non-experience. You guys totally rocked and thanks and can't wait for the next one!

I recently attended a WAPPP seminar, which is a form of martial arts designed for women to learn unsophisticated and essential techniques and methods for personal safety. At first, I was undecided about attending a class as I have never had any kind of formal martial arts
training, but surprisingly I was able to walk away from a class with effective ways to defend myself and a stronger sense of security. I advise women to participate in the program- it's beneficial and simple to learn.

I really enjoyed the woman's self defense class. I thought it was very informative. I think it's helpful to know how to defend myself and be aware of my surroundings. The points we learned were definitely vital for a beginner's class. I would definitely want to partake in another class not only to become more knowledgeable about additional points but to brush up on the previous points I have learned. At the end of the day, I just wanted to come out of the class feeling more comfortable that I could defend myself if I was ever in a bad situation.

Marisa S.

THIS IS A GREAT SEMINAR. I RECOMMEND THAT ALL WOMEN PARTICIPATE IN ONE. YOU WILL LEARN THAT YOU DON'T NEED TO BE STRONG TO DEFEND YOURSELF - YOU ARE TAUGHT SPECIFIC AREAS OF THE BODY THAT ARE SENSITIVE AND WILL CAUSE A CERTAIN REACTION WHEN YOU MAKE PROPER CONTACT. YOU WILL LEARN TO TAP INTO YOUR OWN ENGERY FORCE WHEN APPLYING THESE TECHNIQUES.

Kyusho

Kyusho Class is not a martial arts class. It is more of an anatomy class.

They don't teach you MA since you know it.

They teach you how to enhance what you do.

“ If you want to enhance your style of martial arts,

Kyusho Jutsu is very applicable and efficient. ”
—Marvin

“ This was my first Kyusho class, and it was definitely an eye opener!

(and not because my pressure points were activated) lol.

Tom Gallo provided a comfortable environment to learn in, and the other guys were down to earth, supporting and informative.

I will be a "regular" now. Thanks ”

“ If you are serious about your style of martial arts

and want to be more effective, Kyusho is a must!!!! ”
—Oso

“ very welcoming, informative and comfortable -- except

when on the receiving end of point work. Then the comfort part kind of vanished,

but just for a moment. They are good hearted people.

I plan on returning next Meetup. ”

“ The techniques and principles can easily be applied

in any other practice, both to help and harm as the circumstances warrant. Overall it is a good thing to know. ”
—Mark T.

“ Relaxed, no pressure, easy to integrate ”

“ Excellent. Something to be experienced. I think this is what I needed to get back into martial arts. ”

— John T.

Weapons Workshop

Working with weapons used to intimidate me before I started training them the "TACTICS" way. Master Tom has a way of simplifying principals, and working them in practical easy to learn drills for attacking and defending against various weapons. At the end of every class I leave feeling stronger with the knowledge I have gained. Since I started I now realize anything can be used as a weapon.

Thanks Tom,

-Marvin F

I always enjoyed learning how to use weapons but this class teaches something more important, how to defend against them! Unfortunately I cannot carry around a sword or arnis stick so most likely I will have to use my hands to protect against being attacked my someone with a weapon. That is what we are learning in this workshop. And more!

I highly recommend it to everyone!!
