“The TUF crew led by Martin gave my group an introductory course on Martial Blade Concepts. The TUF was very attentive and interactive working with each and everyone of us to ensure we were executing the skills properly. There is no question that Martin has a passion for training and wants to share his skills with everyone he teaches. I definitely want to train more with Martin to hone these skills for self-defense. No doubt about it, I need to keep practicing what I’ve learned but just over the course of one session I can certainly say I’m more confident knowing what I need to do if I was faced with a dangerous situation.”

“Highly recommend Train Until Forever for tactical knife defense based on the Martial Blade Concepts system. Marty is a very skilled and knowledgeable instructor that can cater to skill levels from beginner to high-level practitioners. If you want to learn the aspects of knife defense and situational awareness, from both the technique and legal standpoints, then this would be place for you ! Marty's instruction style breaks down the techniques in a clear and concise manner, in which will make it easy for you to understand and execute. Been working with Marty for a while now, and he always keeps the atmosphere fun, while being enthusiastic and driven to where he can help you meet your goals.”

“I started training with Marty just about a month ago and he's been teaching me the Martial Blade Concept system (developed by Michael Janich). In just a short amount of time, I have grown so much in my practice. Marty is very skilled in various martial arts styles and a tactician in weapons-based systems, particularly Filipino Martial Arts (FMA). In addition to his skill as a practitioner, Marty is also a great teacher, definitely one of the best I've ever worked with. He is observant and pays attention to detail and so he can read your skill level, strengths and challenges, and he knows how to teach you effectively. My background is in Filipino Martial Arts with a focus in the balisong. With this, he has custom designed my training curriculum to further sharpen my skills and to challenge myself with new ways of thinking about my practice.

In the time of COVID, Marty conducts safe and healthy practices by constantly wiping down equipment, sanitizing hands, and wearing masks at all times. He's also developed training equipment to help with the social distancing.

Marty has been great to work with and I'm looking forward to building my Filipino Martial Arts practice with him.”

“I took a class with Marty a few months ago and honestly, 100% would recommend him as an instructor to anyone interested in self defense. He's super knowledgeable and patient when teaching. If you don't understand something, he'll take the time to figure out a different way to explain it to you till you get it. His social media presence is really what drew my interest into MBC and I'm so glad I've met him. He responds to any questions that've been asked quickly and I can't wait to get in another training session with him again.”

“10/10 will recommend Marty and Train Until Forever. Extremely professional, with so much information to give on both knife skills and random extracurriculars he knows. He's gotten me into knives, self defence, and having a better outlook on life. Him and his crew are a bunch of people who want to absorb knowledge from everywhere, and aren't timid to share their experiences. If there are any Martial Blades Concepts classes in the Bay and youre around, go. Just go.”

“First met Marty when I attended his sold out martial blade concepts seminar in the Bay Area. He is such an amazing person and teacher. I have no martial arts experience at all and these concepts were easy to pick up.

Marty is very skilled, educated and patient. I had a blast at this seminar and I also learned a lot of life saving skills... I now have the confidence to protect myself and my children which was my number one goal for attending this seminar. Marty exceeded my expectations and I can’t wait for him to put on another seminar.

I Absolutely recommend you talk to Marty if you are looking to learn a skill set that can absolutely save your life one day.”
