Ketsugo Jujutsu & Brewster Arnis Martial Arts Training










About Me
My martial arts journey began out of necessity. As a child living in the South End of Boston in the 1970s, I used the martial arts techniques I learned from my father, a bare-knuckle boxer, to survive the violence and gang-related activities on the streets. Through years of rigorous martial arts study and formal training, I gained profound insights into the intricacies of Japanese Jujutsu, rising to the esteemed rank of Grandmaster. I was fortunate to train in the Arnis Lanada combative system with Guru Grande George H. Brewster, who would later appoint me as the Guru of the Boston Arnis Club. I am honored to keep his legacy alive by training others in the combative system he perfected.

Freedman's Method
Combining decades of martial arts study with modern psychology, I developed my Freedman’s Method of training. A groundbreaking approach of self-mastery tailored to each individual’s unique style of learning, strengths and weaknesses. My real-world experience surviving countless violent street fights forced me to learn what really works and what does not, so you don’t have to. I take a safe and fun approach to teaching and assure you will gain confidence and skills that can be applied to all aspects of your life.
