| DTTS Staff Members |

Master Sensei Mark Slocum
Instructors and Administrators of DTTS
All DTTS Instructors are members certified by a 5th Degree Master Instructor (Mark Slocum) who enforces all to follow the teachings of fighting only as a last resort. Students of the DTTS' Self Defense program are trained how and when to utilize their skills since the first step of Defense is to avoid a confrontation if at all possible. If the time arises for one to defend themself, then he/she have been trained professionally and realistically to utilize the necessary skill required for combat.
| Our Style of Martial Arts |

Flying side kick of Camden H.
The combined Arts of Karate (American Tae Kwon Do), Kungfu & Muay Thai
Our style of Martial Arts is one that combines multiple forms to create a unique blend of Self Defense which has proven to be very effective in the preparation and awareness of "would be" attackers who just won't take no for an answer.
From the "real" street style of Self Defense, the deceptiveness of Kungfu and the dangerous strikes of Muay Thai, your training will be very versatile and exciting. Designed to be educational and fun as well as informative and interesting, expect excitement as you train in a never boring yet productive and successful environment.
| Our DTTS Instructors |
|
Although all Instructors are well versed in the DTTS Self Defense program, they have certain areas of specialty where their backgrounds contribute to our successful program. These Instructors are very passionate about their contribution which show the diversity of styles built within this self defense itinerary making it very practical and efficient in everyday life. |

| Student Testing |
In DTTS we
evaluate, test and promote according to the student's
performance and knowledge instead of simply promoting
based on the length of time spent in a certain belt
rank. Master Sensei Mark feels you have to mature in
each level as well as understanding when to use your
Self Defense and when not to. Additionally, conditioning
the mind with the foundation of passiveness yet
aggressiveness when needed is a requirement for all
students progressing through the DTTS ranks.
