April 21, 2005 PSDI: FW: Permission Request To: "Sgt. Robert D. Magnuson RE: S.T.O.P.S. Police Tactical Manual -- My name is Dennis Wissler and one of the things that do in my life is instruct in the martial arts. Part of our system incorporates within itself, a Law Enforcement Awareness Seminar for active/reserve police officers in our area. I was privileged the other day to view the 4^th Edition of the Police Tactical Manual. With your permission, we would like to reference to your manual in our classes, a quote from page 179, 3rd paragraph from the top. --The quote would be "Realizing that the philosophy of, "if the department doesn't pay for my training, I can't afford it," wouldn't have mattered much from six feet under, I knew that like the ballistic vest, I couldn't afford NOT to have it! Except for a handful of officers, that I have run across, the rational in our area appears to be that the officers don't need any additional training over and above the basic academy. I am constantly being told by, even seasoned veterans, that if it isn't taught at the "academy," Might be sued because of the additional information, if I use it (in the defense of my life). Our local "chiefs" won't even consider training outside their departments and their knowledge for their unpaid reserves, yet they place these individuals out in the public arena, by themselves many times, ignorant of what can happen to them. Back to the purpose of this e-mail is, that with your permission I would like to incorporate into our training letter, flyer and training program the above quote.

March 15, 2005 From "Joe Sukovich" <jsukovich@scifargo.com Re: Masafumi Suzuki -- Dear Sensei, I have been a student of the martial arts for over 28 years. I have been doing some research on Masafumi Suzuki and was hoping you might be able to help me. Specifically, I have seen some promotion certificates that state promotion by Nippon Shobukan. Is this the same as the Nippon Seibukan? Thank you for your time. Joe Sukovich

GEA --Joe, Sorry to be so late but I am not clear on what you want. Why don't you call me? Regards, George Anderson

8/2/05 --- Don' t forget the Nationals and the Police Seminar annd Hall of Fame August 12-13

5/16/05 Subject: Thank you --- Colonel Anderson, Thank you for the presentation you made to the 99s sectional meeting on Saturday. I hope I never have to use the self-protection techniques you talked about, but I have a few friends who have been raped and robbed and so naturally want to be able to have a fighting chance if I should find myself in a bad situation. I would be interested in learning more about any classes you offer for civilians. I was also curious if you know someone named Bernie Braverman. I think he's in his 80's now but I understand he holds a very high-degree black belt. Hilary Peterson Lake Erie 99s Berea, Ohio

April 25, 2005 --- Thanks - From B. A. DeLeon Sr., Head Coach, USJJF --- Hello Sir, Once again I would like to thank you for your unique insight in training this past weekend, and how fortunate I've been in knowing you! Every time I leave I'm ready for the world Thanks to you.

December 21, 2004 -- End of year news -- Regarding the Direction of the PSDI —From Max Ciscell Jr. M.S. It is great to hear from you and about your effort to further Martial Arts worldwide. Frankly I could not think of a more capable individual and as you know you are only the individual I have considered my sensei other than Mr. Bonacci

December 21, 2004 -- End of year news -- The Police Survival and Defense Institute has launched into the world of Taiho Jitsu and has conducted the several national Civilian Defense Training Seminars and has issued many diplomas of qualification. It is to be noted that most major law-enforcement instructors and systems were at one time with the PSDI.

December 18, 2004 -- End of year news Letter : Dr. Tom Brown <tommyrun@zoominternet.net> Thank you so much for the Holiday greeting and the update on all that you and the Kwanmukan have been doing and accomplished in 2004. I was present 2 years ago in the winter symposium (which I enjoyed immensely) and I was also an attendee in the last class you gave before leaving for Spain. I remarked to Sheriff. Overholt on the way home that I was quite sure that was the best martial arts class I have ever attended. He quickly replied that he assured me that it was the best class I have attended.— Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and experience with us and we look forward to many more years of continuing association with the Kwanmukan. I wish you the very best of health and happiness in the new year.

5/22/04 - The CMA hosts an important PSDI meeting dealing with Homeland Security and PSDI Tai-ho Jitsu certifications. The meeting was hosted by Joe Bonacci, Joe Gabriel, and Larry Overholt, all well know in their field and included many really important people.

The PSDI (Police Survival & Defense Institute) (Police Self-Defense Institute) was established many ago years under the historic United States Karate Association. Many senior law-enforcement instructors in the US and abroad were trained and certified under the PSDI. Personnel from the Anti-Terrorists Units, Secret Service, FBI, CID, Interpol, Air Marshals, active police officers, sheriffs departments, State Departments – state and nations, and many other agencies that we cannot name because of restrictions or protocol, trained under the PSDI.  Through the years, training and basic operations have continued, but the PSDI really did not pursue any special activities for some time because it had reached its national goal in most states of the Union -- the formation of government Peace Officer Training Councils with sound standard operation procedures.   After the 911 tragedies, the PSDI has moved to assist security efforts, to provide correct and necessary training for the general public and to once again comment on and advise various agencies on sound operational techniques.

We have some of the best and most experienced instructors in the world on our staff and continuing to be directly involved in the formation of a sound and simple technical structure for the instruction of personnel. We are focusing on a broad range of groups such as service companies, manufacturing concerns, educational institutions, social service agencies and to individuals (which includes children), young adults, families, professionals, business employees, executives, and law enforcement/military.  In our civilian training we offer quality self-protection, incident control and survival training -- concentrating on prevention, awareness, and security in the context of the home, workplace, and during travel. We present reliable skills and teach how to respond to unstable situations. Our students learn how to use common ordinary everyday items as weapons and how to apply self-defense techniques that can be easily learned and to execute under stress..  The PSDI has a special training program specifically designed for needs of law-enforcement and related governments agencies. Our Taiho-Jutsu programs are tactical systems that provide comprehensive abilities that do not conflict with standard departmental regulations. --- The PSDI has been authorized by the Combined Central Technical Committees of the National Federations supporting the PSDI:

1/20/04 - 2004 Winter Symposium and US Jujitsu Federation Winter Camp. PDF Program (Large) was an outstand success and was a sold-out affair with over three hundred in attendance. Representation was international with Shihan Janak Subedi - Nepal Kwanmukan, Dr. Nader Sherif - Egypt - President African Karate Union, and Shihan Michael Osho from Ghana. There was a stronlgly attended meeting of the powerful PSDI Police Survival and Defense Institute during which Dr. Sherif proposed and it was decided to plan a major training seminar in July 2005 in Casablanka, Morocco. Janek Subedi presented documents indicating Nepalese Goverment support for a January 2005 .International Tournament to be held in Katmandu, Nepal by the Nepal Kwanmukan Association. They are anticipating over 25 official national teams - last year they had 18 national teams and the event was sanctioned by the World Karate Confederation, president Fritz Wendland. Charles Stepan of Taekwondo Times gave us a nice article with poictures about the event.
