This system originated in Los Angeles with founders Frank DeGourville and Sam Sherman in the year of 1978. These two gentlemen met while working for the postal service and found a great need for a unique system combining different elements from Frank DeGourville’s specialty, Jiu-Jitsu and Sam Sherman’s military training in the art of Tae Kwondo. While devising this system for one complete year, their main focus was training children in a disciplined traditional manner, while instilling good morals, standards and family unity.
