The Maker Of Teachers

0

Sensei Peter Freedman is quickly becoming one of the world’s foremost authorities on jujitsu. It is unusual to find a jujitsu master with his depth of knowledge, his gift for teaching, and his unselfish willingness to share. Many students and instructors of other systems say that Sensei Freedman unlocks the mystery behind martial arts by opening up their creativity and a whole new dimension of possibility.

Sensei Freedman faced countless challenges growing up in a rough section of Boston known locally as the South End. Due to the environment his father, who was a professional boxer, taught Sensei Freedman the importance of knowing how to use his fists. As a young boy Sensei Freedman learned invaluable martial art principles from his dad that would later help him survive a number of confrontations on the street.

From as early as 5 years old Sensei Freedman’s love of the martial arts never wavered. Along the way he studied muay thai, karate, aikido, tae kwon do, judo, savate, tai chi, fu jow pai/kung fu, boxing, wrestling as well as ketsugo jujitsu. Since the 70’s Sensei Freedman advanced under Guro Grande George Brewster as a prodigy of arnis.

Mr. Brewster passed on at 81 as a dedicated pioneer of Filipino martial arts and a decorated veteran of D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge. Mr. Brewster handed down the perfected stick and knife fighting style of arnis lanada to Sensei Freedman. As the Guro Director of the Boston Arnis Club Sensei Freedman continues to spread the wisdom of Mr. Brewster’s teachings.

Sensei Freedman taught powerlifting, bodybuilding, and nutrition at an all-natural gym that he ran for 15 years. During that time he trained over 35 bodybuilding champions and helped over 4,000 teenagers keep off the streets and walk away from lives of crime, gang violence, and drug abuse.

Sensei Freedman has appeared on television shows, local news, and has been written up in books, newspapers, and magazines such as Inside Tae Kwon Do, Masters & Styles, Secret Fighting Techniques, Inside Karate, Inside Martial Arts, Secrets of the Masters, and MA Training. In 1989 Sensei Freedman’s heroic efforts were formally recognized by the Mayor of Boston. The Mayor handed Sensei Freedman a lifetime achievement award in front of hundreds of onlookers and various celebrities such as wrestlers, Big John Studd and Killer Kowalski and actor, Anthony Michael Hall.

Sensei Freedman has taught his revolutionary martial art system to the Department Of Defense, Special Forces, and members of the CIA. Sensei Freedman has over 45 years of martial arts experience and is also a gifted healer and trained reiki master. Teri Tom’s new book, Martial Arts Nutrition: A Precision Guide to Fueling Your Fighting Edge, features an in depth interview with Sensei Freeman along with famed trainer Freddie Roach, Andrei Arlovski, Ted Wong, Amir Khan, and pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao.
