Many people who wanted to do long distance training have asked us to
develope this curricculum video series. Not everyone can come to florida to
train, or host a seminar. These videos have been a valuable tool in helping us spread the art. I've had several people come to The Gatherings having had only the videos for their instruction. I have been pleasd with the results. Of course there is no substitute for an actual FCS instructor, and you still have to have the basic skills needed in any martial art. The videos however, do an excellent job documenting and teaching the required materials.

For long distance training, the student musrt practice the material on the
videos alon with the basic skills. He can then test for each level with any
FCS instructor. If an FCS Instructor is not available. He must then send a
video of himself performing the required material for evaluation. This is
for level 1-4.

For level 5 through instructor level, the student must test at one of the
Gatherings(Clearwater, Tampa, or Puerto Rico).
