Jason D. Blakeman

Jason D. Blakeman started his martial arts training at the age of 4 . His parents divorced and his mother decided to enroll him into classes for a positive male role model. His instructor, John Devope was a member at a local buddhist tepmle in NYC chinatown. He bagan taking Masterr Blakeman to the temple on a regular basis. Master Blakeman took a fond interest to Dharma Master Li Chi Ming and with permission of his mother, he was ordained a novice monk. At the temple he studied meditation, chi gong, taichi, and other buddhist kung fu systems.

At the age of 15 master Blakeman decided to leave the temple in search of life outside the temple. What he found was a vast amount of other martial arts out there. He began to study as many of these arts as he could eventually earning the rank of blackbelt in 5 arts, and 7 instructor certifications.

Master Blakeman saw the limitations on a set system and decided to devote his learning to seminars studying many times over with noted instructors such as Dan Inosanto, Paul Vunak, Shi Yan Ming, Tony Blauer, Marco Ruas, Royce Gracie, The Machado Brothers, Remy Presas, Jeff Delaney, The Dog Brothers, and Bob Orlando.

Master Blakeman then took what he has learned and turned it into an evolutionary system called MAPHILINDO fighting arts, after the Malay, Philipino, and Indonesian arts that he had studied in detail. He founded a military fighting sytem known as S.P.A.R.S. (scientific protective agression response systems), and a law enforcement system known as C.O.P.S. (Combat Orientated Physics Skills).

Today, Master Blakeman is President and Founder of the Maphilindo Fighting Arts Association. A Non Profit Organization with roots in the MAPHILINDO and Interfaith traditions. He teaches seminars internationally and is Head instructor of KICKIN FOUNDATIONS, a Christian based martial arts program aimed at at risk youth.
