Tommy Carruthers is one of the best martial artist in the world, he has simple mecchanics to use the body like a weapon;his movement are very effective and functional

People are murdered everyday in every country in the entire world for no reason. Try walking home from work in the bad end of glasgow or los angeles at midnight and maybe you'll understand better. Sifu Carruthers undercharges for his services in my experience, and is very generous to his students and his community. His teachings are the best because he dedicates himself to being the best he can be. If he wanted to be rich he could've sold out a long time ago but didn't.

I mean no disrespect for Tommy or anyone else here, but this video is fairly sensationalist. When people see things like this they go live in gated communities, install cctv, act paranoid and see the appeal of ASBOs. No that there isn't crime, of course.

If the onyl thing that drives you is the fear of getting hurt then you would do best to simply avoid dangerus places. It feels like overkill to spend years of dedicated training simply for self defence => what are you training for then ? Getting unexpectedly stabbed or maybe gunned down ? If you ask for that kind of trouble you will get it sooner or later LOL

I doubt very much you have even met or spoken to Tommy. Otherwise you wouldnt of said such things that are so far from the truth. It wasn't so long ago that Tommy was doing FREE seminars for people all over the world provided they pay for his travel expenses. Bruce Lee closed his schools only trained his friends and charged $1000s of dollars for classes to celebs. Brandon went to Dan because Dan was world known and a full instructor. Where is Dan now though, he was booted out!

He was only charging so much when he found out that celebrities had money to throw around. He was initially going to charge them $25 per lesson untill he was told that he should charge more.

Im not sure up to when bruce charged nothing for his lessons if im right he was unemployed and living in james lee's house for free and might have needed the cash to eaze the pain for not being a great support for the family. i saw in a book a business card of his offering 10 lessons for 1000$ i could hardly believe it myself when i saw this.

you can find the fees on tommy's webpage. The online lesson provided me with loads of valuable information and found it so far better than those instructional vids that usually are available on the market. the semi at his school was for free and lasted 6hrs and he was offering free workshops for a while. i personally met him and can say he's a very generous person i never felt what he charged was expensive compared to the guys where i live. just my 5 cent.

I'm sure his training is worth every penny.
