Comments on previous education:

"I would like to thank Timm Blaschke. I trained with him in recent years and was able to improve my knowledge in the weapons area. He is an excellent martial artist, one of my best trainers and whole-heartedly recommended by me."
Christian Braun, Head Instructor Open Mind Combat, 7. Dan Combat Ju-Jitsu, 5. Dan Ju Jutsu, Madunong Guro IKAEF, …

"The apprentice instructor education and the training in Filipino Fighting Arts in general is the best thing I got to know and completed during my 30 years of martial arts. The education is very comprehensive and nearly perfect, as it covers all areas of self-defense and martial arts. It is suitable for newcomers as well as lateral entrants. The costs of the education as apprentice instructor of the FFAA are moderate and fair. My special thanks to Guro Marcus Ruddies and his professional training methodology."
Michael Brandt, policeman, 2. Dan Ju-Jutsu, instructor for Ju-Jutsu and Ju-Jutsu Allkampf. Kampfsportschule Sochin, Travemünde

"As a long-standing trainer for Ju-Jutsu and modern self-defense with more than 20 years of martial arts experience I’ve been able to appreciate the value of the Filipino martial arts as complement to non-weapons-based systems for a fairly long time. With the Filipino Fighting Arts I have now been given an excellently structured system covering all areas of self-defense from the beginning, and I cannot imagine my daily training routine without it anymore!"
Uwe Weishaupt, 2. Dan Ju Jutsu, … Fight Club Fulda

"There is no doubt that the trainer education is excellently structured and thought through. Lateral entrants from other Budo arts, as well as beginners, are very well introduced to the subject and built up step by step. Up to now we have not seen anything comparable in over 20 years of Budo experience. Especially because everything is communicated in such an easy way with lots of fun, but nevertheless with the necessary discipline. A true enrichment."
Klaus Rudolf, 2. Dan Taekwondo; Dieter Binnig, 2. Dan Taekwondo, Budo Kunst e.V.

"If you want to learn Filipino Martial Arts at the highest standard, didactically structured in an excellent way, in a friendly, competent and relaxed training atmosphere, you MUST come to Timm Blaschke."
Dipl. Psych. Roberto D'Amelio, 20 years fighting arts experience, sports psychotherapist/ behavior therapy supervisor

"Training with Guro Marcus Ruddies brought me a lot of fun, as well as friendly social interaction. Marcus Ruddies does not only teach effective techniques, but also explains why they are practiced that way as well as the underlying principles. The FFAA’s teaching material is very professional and comprehensive. Lots of material and many reasonable techniques and principles which I can integrate into my professional activities very well."
Marco Poppenhusen, police operations trainer, 1. Dan Ju Jutsu, former youth instructor of SHJJV (Schleswig-Holsteinischer Ju-Jutsu-Verband), Kiel

"The trainer education I started with Guro Timm Blaschke has provided me with a profound and professional training in Filipino Martial Arts, which I also apply very successfully at my school. My pupils benefit a lot from the knowledge and practical abilities I achieved there, and which are also continuously renewed and expanded."
Markus Hübner, 3. degree blackbelt Su Ceng, 2. Dan kickboxing, …

"I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for the many workshops and the trainer education at the FFAA. For over 25 years I have visited many martial arts workshops in many different styles and schools. The FFAA courses are set apart not only with regard to the technical contents, but especially due to the instructors. The two style founders’ fun and passion for (not only) Filipino Martial Arts are passed on to the participants.

The contents of the trainer education are consequently built up on the previous part of the education. Besides teaching the examination subjects, the trainer education works towards a complete educational program. The participants are shown concepts, principles and exercises to help promote a progressive learning progress. The education combines traditional approaches of Asian fighting arts with the latest findings of sports science. All the contents are treated in theory and practice. In practice the participants have enough time at their disposal to try their hand at the lesson contents and ask questions they might have. The most modern media and communication devices are employed for the participants’ support.

Besides the local workshops, the instructors readily give the participants advice going beyond the education. The instructors willingly answer questions or accept suggestions regarding their training activities by e-mail or telephone. The workshops and trainer education of the FFAA have advanced me very far."
