Virtual Dojo Instructions

Greetings this is Dave Young Founder of the US Fighting Systems,

We are proud to welcome you into our Virtual Dojo. The material has taken me over 30 plus years to put together and I understand the amount of hours needed to become proficient.

This is why we chose to have a Virtual Dojo to aid you in the understanding, practical application and teaching the techniques and tactics of our system. I say our systems because once you graduated from the CORE Certifications it became OUR system, and like all systems it will grow.

Thank you and please feel free to contact me if you have any questions at DaveYoung@usfightingsystems.com
If you have technical questions or trouble with the site, please Contact Us
