BRINGING WISDOM TO KNOWLEDGE
What is DTFS Seminar's and how can they help
"Hojo Undo Waza” (supplemental training techniques)
They are a 4-hour seminar on fighting psychology, techniques, pre-tournament training, leg/hand work, bag/equipment training, partner training, ring wisdom, body language, and much more

Taught by Sensei Mark Dana, who has spent the last 30 plus years competing, judging, and coaching tournaments.
The seminars cover/teach the psychological , and physical aspects, knowledge, and Wisdom need to become a top rated fighter or just a better tournament or dojo fighter.
DTFS Seminars covers some of the most important least taught and least understood aspects of tournament competition. Re-setting, Cutting the Ring, or Winning against all 6 people in the Ring to name a few.
Do you remember the days when guest instructors from different Dojo's and styles would come to your Dojo and teach something very different than your Sensei was teaching you.
There could have been that time when you received help from a kind Black Belt at a tournament that changed your fighting skills for life.
Or perhaps you remember when an instructor [or maybe 10 different instructors] at summer camp taught or past on to you valuable information or inspiring words and/or techniques that help you grow into the instructor you are today. This happen to Sensei Mark for many years during his tournament career. In-fact his first DTFS seminar was held at a dojo of a Sensei who gave him simple yet Karate-life changing advice during a summer camp back in 1976!
The one thing all of these examples have in common is sharing information without prejudice
Now you can allow your students to experience the same with DTFS
How DTFS can help you
Unlike most seminars where you pay huge fees {$500 to $1,000} to bring in an Instructor to teach 2-hours at your Dojo and basicily only tech their favorite techniques.
