The Percomboo world

  The Percomboo world is an individual competency and style developmental education. 

  It has three pillar subjects; philosophy, psychology, and general martial art (physical education). Technical martial art is on the symbolic surface of the Percomboo World. The way we approach the subjects and help people is part of globalization and internet friendly.

  As we all know, in the last decades, due to the internet, the world has profoundly changed our approach to gaining information, building knowledge, and teaching or informing other people. Personal development, personal ways of progression strengthened naturally. Percomboo supports individual differences and uses the lenses of the valuable martial art world through which it analyses and interprets lots of things. We support individual differences and never say this, and that is the best way or the only way to do something. We believe that your way is the best way for you, and we can help you find it and improve it.

  In simple, we present universal principles. Then, we give specific situations to discover, explore, and solve. Finally, we offer different examples to choose from, and if necessary, we help you with some instructions or incentives to progress. The most important in the Percomboo World is that we do not teach the exact way, but we do coaching. Everyone’s style or way is unique. Personal style (InFi) is always individually created, natural and they are the most suitable for the creators (individuals who have them). 

  In summary, based on philosophy, psychology, and martial art, we present universal principles, create situations, and deliver necessary guidance.

Interest in martial arts is declining?!

There is plenty of evidence that the interest in martial arts has been declining in the last decade.

It is apparent, and I think the reason is the internet, globalization, and new trends. Those people who have an affinity towards combative activities, and want to find and improve their InFi style, cannot be kept in schools for long. They are studying for a while and leave.

The internet opens the eyes of the open-minded. You can see whatever you want on the web, and the masters cannot keep secrets the same way as 30 years ago. Consequently, teachers are not authority figures nowadays; they become customer service givers.

Changing trends is another issue. The popularity of martial arts is waving. MMA, Krav Maga, and Tricking are the new trends. It is simply a fashion, in my opinion. The popularity of these trends does not mean they are better. They are new, and strongly promoted through the media.

In connection with individual fighting styles, some traditional techniques can be helpful to watch or learn - others cannot. In particular, tricking is rather gymnastics than fighting. Kraw Maga is rather a self-defence system than a style. And MMA is simply a sport.
