URBAN COMBATIVES
REALITY-BASED URBAN SELF DEFENSE FOR EVERYONE!
Martial Way Urban Combatives is a hybrid (dynamic and eclectic), reality based system of personal protection and martial art that utilizes techniques from multiple martial art systems with a heavy emphasis on practical, efficient, yet effective techniques. MWUC fills the reality-gap that many martial artists and individuals need to become complete and confident individuals that have true, assertive confidence to combat and avoid modern hostilities.
MWUC is a system that focuses on all aspects of combat: physical, tactical and mental. The system also utilizes principles of strength conditioning, bio-mechanics, physics, physiology and psychology. FBI statistics are utilized to strengthen the gap between the physical and mental. Knowledge of statistics assists in psychological preparation of combat. MWUC is a system and science that when properly practiced and studied, will benefit everyone from the teen to the adult, the novice to the advanced martial arts instructor, law enforcement personnel to the military tactical expert. MWUC will bridge the reality-gap and assist you in your personal protection needs.
Grand Master George Bell is the best instructor you will ever find. He will motivate your child to push his/her boundaries. He will teach them how to be champions in martial arts and in everyday life.

PERFECTION OF THE ART OF SPEED, TIMING, AND REFLEXES
Balintawak offers a great compliment to other martial arts and is a great stand alone martial art that focuses heavily on control, speed, reflexes, and hand-eye coordination. All in a proven way that is learned in stages to acquire a great foundation in the art form of Balintawak Eskrima with Guro George. Balintawak Eskrima or Arnis is a combat system developed by Anciong Bacon in the 1950's. It's primarily a single stick system however, it is not just a stick or blade fighting art. Balintawak is equally adept at both weapons and empty-hand fighting. In Balintawak, the stick is only used to enhance and train the individual for bare hands fighting, and to achieve perfection in the art of speed, timing and reflexes necessary to acquire defensive posture and fluidity in movement.

THERE IS NO LOSING IN JIU-JITSU. YOU EITHER WIN OR LEARN
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is the world's fastest growing martial art and was formed from early 20th century. Judo fundamentals that were taught to, Luiz França and Carlos Gracie by master Mitsuyo Maeda and later evolved to Gracie/Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu by Carlos and Helio Gracie. BJJ promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using leverage and proper technique, taking the fight to the ground.
American Killer Bees was founded by professors Isreal Gomes along with Anderson Silva and Rodrigo Vidal in 2004. Professor Israel Gomes leads the American Killer Bees program. Our Killer Bees BJJ program was founded by Professor George Bell in Arizona and locally maintains a strong relationship with Alliance Scottsdale BJJ. Our goal is to spread and teach quality BJJ for everyone!
BJJ training can be used for sport grappling tournaments, mixed martial arts (MMA) competition, or self-defense. Sparring (commonly referred to as “rolling”) and live drilling play a major role in training, and a premium is placed on performance. Children and adults are welcome. You will find BJJ provides many great attributes.

THE ART OF KICKING AND PUNCHING
THE BALANCE OF BEAUTY AND POWER!
Although Taekwondo’s roots were first developed over 20 centuries ago in Korea, it was not officially recognized as a system of self-defense until the 1950′s when a group of leading Korean martial artists came together and unified their various art forms under a single style of hand and feet fighting. They named this martial art Taekwondo. The most important fact about Taekwondo is that it is both a superior art of self-defense and a technique of mental discipline. It gives its practitioners self-confidence, self-respect, self-discipline, and coordination. These mental characteristics along with the physical ability are beneficial to the mental life of individuals as well as to their families and friends.
Today, Taekwondo is the most recognized martial art in the world, and a popular Olympic and international sport. Grandmaster Bell is a former U.S. Olympic Training Center resident athlete, Olympic qualifier participant, professional athlete as seen on ESPN2 and Pay-Per-View, an 8th degree black belt in Taekwondo with 48 years experience, Arizona's highest ranking active Kukkiwon black belt and Arizona's most diverse Taekwondo master instructor with black belts in 6 different martial arts.
George is an amazing teacher and a real role model.
