The idea of being a creative artist and developing your own style off of a base is not unique. The vehicle that is used to get to this end is an incredible key component in bridging the gap between martial practioner and martial artist!

Joseph Bronson developed the ASP (Accelerated Self-Protection Program) system of martial development during a ten year period of time while teaching in central Oregon. While teaching all of his different classes (Shaolin Forms-Energy drills of trapping, kickboxing, Philippine weapons, Kuntao Silat deThouars, joint manipulations and destruction, etc) Joseph saw that his students were gaining a greater sense of self defense principals faster through various aspects of the different classes.

Through analyzing which aspects of training improved the beginner the most in the shortest period of time, the ASP System was born. This is not Joseph Bronson’s style. It is a system of development meant to guide the student to a higher understanding of the vocabulary of motion in a physical movement for self defense purposes. Our aim is not to teach a style, but rather to give each student the tools to create their own style.
