He is a Certified Instructor in the "Defender" self-defense tool developed by Master Peter Brusso. Master Peter Brusso founded Anjing Banfa in the early 1970's after returning from Vietnam. His observation was that martial arts lacked realism and needed to be well rounded. Existing styles focused on ground fighting only or stand up fighting only. These skills needed to be cross-trained as we are seeing today. Weapons and all weather fighting techniques also needed to be incorporated into a system that produced results. Thus, Anjing Banfa was born and has flourished over the past 30 years.

Master Peter Brusso writes.....

"I have asked John Enger Sensei to review my material, which is for sale. I found Enger Sensei via the Internet and he has a very impressive background in the arts and law enforcement. I thought it natural that I ask him to review my material from an 'outside' point of view. I also wanted an honest opinion for the material as I think it important to include other styles 'thoughts' into the purchasing decision.
