BFS / AKJA FOUNDER JAMES KOVACICH THE BEIKOKU FIGHTING SYSTEMS FOUNDER JAMES KOVACICH HAS BEEN A MARTIAL ARTIST SINCE 1973 HE SPENT MOST OF THE 1970'S IN KAJUKENBO AND HAPKIDO. THIS TIME EARLY IN HIS LIFE WOULD INFLUENCE HIM FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE. HE RECEIVED HIS FIRST BLACK BELT AFTER 19 YEARS OF SOLID TRAINING IN MULTIPLE MARTIAL ARTS AND RECEIVED HIS 5TH DEGREE BLACK BELT IN 2002 AND HIS 6TH DEGREE BLACK BELT IN 2006. TODAY HE IS A LIFELONG MARTIAL ARTIST WITH EXPERIENCE IN MANY FORMS OF KARATE, JU JITSU AND GUNG FU. BOTH TRADITIONAL AND MODERN MARTIAL ARTS HAVE GREATLY INFLUENCED HIM IN SUCH A WAY THAT HIS FULL CONTACT FIGHTING SYSTEM IS "AHEAD OF IT'S TIME" IN THE SENSE THAT MANY MARTIAL ARTISTS HAVE YET TO RECOGNIZE MODERN TRAINING METHODS AND APPLICATIONS AND IT IS "RIGHT ON TIME" BASED ON THE EVOLUTION OF TODAYS PROGRESSIVE FIGHTING SYSTEMS. BEIKOKU FIGHTING SYSTEMS OFFERS A UNIQUE OPPURTUNITY AND TAKES GREAT PRIDE IN THE FACT THAT WE "TEACH TO OUR STUDENTS AND NOT JUST TO THE CLASS." COME AND JOIN US AND HELP US GROW AND HELP US HELP YOU DISCOVER "YOUR TRUTH IN MARTIAL ARTS" AND LET US HELP YOU PASS ON YOUR "TRUTH" TO YOUR STUDENTS. ATTENTION: I would like to take a moment to pay tribute to one of my earliest instructors who was very influencial in my training, even in my training today. Back in the 1970's there was a man who cared about his students more than most would realize. He believed that anyone who wanted to train should be allowed to train, so much so that he only charged us $5 a month when he could of easily received $25-$30. During my first 5 years in the martial arts I spent the majority of that time in Kajukenbo. Although in two Kajukenbo schools, it was the Crazy Dragons School of Self Defense & my Sifu Greg Lagera that guided me from a boy to a man. It is Greg who was more like a big brother & who gave more than he received that I will always be in debt to!! I BOW DOWN. James Kovacich |
