Once i realised it would be possible to learn this stuff fast, I wanted to learn it from the best, as close to the source as possible... and that means learning from Al!

The "Extreme Combat" DVD got me hooked. I have a lot of videos from
fight systems called, "Devastating", "Brutal", "Unknown", etc. The
hikuta system is all these things.
These other systems all have these
nice moves to take weapons away or to throw and manipulate people.
But the problem with them is that they all take time. You cannot do
sweeps and joint manipulations in an attack because some buddy ( not
yours but his) is going to be on you quick.
You need something that
is devastating and quick so you can deal with more than one person.
I
have videos on gun and knife disarms that are beautiful to watch
because of the joint manipulations and the throws but in real life I
think they would be almost useless. Besides, if Goliath grabs ahold of you or has a knife at you, you are NOT going to bend his wrists.
Ain't going to happen. He has no respect for you and he ain't going to let
you throw him.
Finally, I can quit spending money on all those other
tapes... Lastly, having a system that has many differnet moves builds
confusion in times of trouble.
Your system, with its few moves: fist,
kick, armbars makes for a simpler system to learn and most
importantly, USE. The seminar DVDs are terrific.

I stumbled across this web site by accident, trying to find out if Doc Lee was stillteaching. Because I was a book student of his some years ago. Thats when I found out that Al Abidin was his prize student who learned the art of Hikuta from him, which was so cool. What an honor. It was very easy to learn. It brought me to another level.

"Having moved out of London I found myself unable to continue Thai Boxing and Karate lessons. I embarked on my own exercises and continued with my practice as much as possible, building an exercise area in my new garden. This was fine up to a point but I missed my lessons and the guidance of the sensei. Quite by chance I saw Al Abidin's Hikuta ad on a martial arts web-site and sent off for the DVD course.
I was impressed not only with the methods but the teacher support that Al provides. I am in England but it does not seem as if Al is thousands of miles away in USA. I had a recent run-in with 3 youths in a shop and Hikuta certainly helped me handle the situation with calm confidence. The 3 youths decided not to attack and I am certain that the confidence I projected came from knowing I had the new Hikuta strategies at my disposal. Al is very encouraging and 'enrolling' into his Hikuta programme is the next best thing to receiving direct tuition in the Dojo. I recommend it for anyone who takes protecting themselves seriously."
