Kinetic Self Defence 
Online!
By Mr. Paul Jones,
Chief Instructor
August 2007
As you can see, the KSD website is now online!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank some important people who made our transition possible.
I’d just like to thank all the students and student’s parents for their support and patience whilst we have been changing from CKD to KSD, partically for the loyalty you have shown to myself and our team of instructors.
Secondly to our team of instructors, who have been on hand at times that have been uneasy. Again for their loyalty to myself, their fellow instructors and their martial art/self defence training. Also in helping to improve the service that we provide to our students through taking time out to further develop their martial art/self defence skills and to further develop our syllabi. We, as a team of instructors will be constantly working to build a stronger and better future for Kinetic Self Defence.
We can’t thank Steve and Shelly Elrod of Florida KMAI enough for their support and guidance at this pivotal time in our martial arts/self defence development. We look forward to working with them in the future.
Finally, we are equally thankful to Mr Vytas and Mr Welch of Florida KMAI for their hard work and creative vision in the design and construction of this fantastic website!
