"Chief" Adrian Roman is a full-blood Choctaw Indian with over 55 years of experience in the martial arts. He is known worldwide as a senior instructor, teacher and philosopher.
The Chief is a 9th Degree Black Belt under the late Grandmaster Edmond K. Parker's American Kenpo. He is Grandmaster in Hawaii Kosho Ryu Kenpo Jujitsu; a Grandmaster in Falammichi-Native Kenpo (a Native American slant on Ed Parker's American Kenpo); a Grandmaster,29th level, of his own unique Native System Tushka-Homma.
In 1995, the Chief began training under another legend, Grandmaster Remy Presas, the Father of Modern Arnis. Grandmaster Presas eventually offered to make the Chief his protege in which he would assume the leadership of Modern Arnis after Remy retired. However, the Chief respectfully declined the offer to take over the Modern Arnis system, for he was on a journey of his own to resurrect his Native system.
The support of both Ed Parker and Remy Presas enabled the Chief to be creative in his study of the martial arts, and their encouragement helped the chief resurrect the fighting arts of his Native American ancestors. It was the catalyst for putting the Chief on the path of his new journey into the martial arts, drawing upon the Native American Fighting Arts and as a result, the Red Warrior/Falammichi/Native Kenpo martial arts system was born.
In May 2000, the Chief was inducted into the Texas Martial Arts Hall of Fame for his achievement in the martial arts. In August 2003, the prestigious International Martial Arts Head Founders and Grandmasters Council awarded the Chief with the rank of Soke - Grandmaster, tenth degree. The certificate is signed by the Council Founder, Soke Marty Cale, Soke Dr. Dan Netherland, and eight other renowned Grandmasters.
The Chief has worked on the hit television series "Walker, Texas Ranger". He is a songwriter and new author. His new book "The Apprentice Warrior" is about practical self-defense has just been released. He is currently authoring a suspense novel about the discrepancy and injustices within the Choctaw Nation to be published in the near future. Today, the Chief offers personal instruction in the Apprentice Warrior System (practical self-defense), Falammichi (advanced self-defense) and American Kenpo (Ed Parker System).
Black Belt Magazine featured the Chief and his Red Warrior/Tushka-Homma with a six page article in the December 2004 issue. This was the first time a national publicized magazine as influential as Black Belt has featured an article on Native American Knife Fighting. Martial Arts Expert Magazine featured the Chief on the cover of its April 2009 issue with a featured article inside - "The Making of a Warrior".
