"Snake Blocker has studied with us [Scientific Fighting Congress] for many years [since 1998]. He never stops learning and training to improve his already Champion level skills. He is a great guy, an outstanding athlete, and a skilled teacher." "Snake is an old friend. He has hosted me many times at his school in Los Angeles since the 1990s. He recently did two tours in Iraq and is now back. He is a Thai champ from the 1990s. I have learned some interesting Thai moves I have never seen before from him. Before this Ghost Dog Apache Knife stuff you see now advertised in the magazines, Blocker (part Apache himself) started his own knife course, very historical. But the war got in the way. He rekicked it off when he returned." -W. Hock Hochheim, World Martial Arts Hall of Fame/President-Scientific Fighting Congress & multi-black belts, Texas (Picture of Guro Hochheim)
"I had the pleasure of training with Snake Blocker last summer of 2003. Being one of the few gals who trained with Snake, who has a martial arts background in blended forms, I was amazed at the effectiveness of these moves. Speaking for those, I practiced these moves on others...they work! I would definitely recommend this training for anyone seeking a challenge, both physically, as well as, mentally for both the young and old of any skill type. Snake Blocker is an excellent teacher and he made learning the MCQC (Military Close Quarter Combat) techniques simple and easy to grasp for anyone new to martial arts or advanced in their training as well. I look forward to the training again after his return from Kuwait." -Doria Schaefer - Arizona (Picture of Doria Schaefer)

The comments that I have received about your studio have been that everyone was impressed. I would also like to add that the students and I were equally impressed with your exemplary and professional attitude concerning the hosting of the class and the logistics involved. "Snake was on top of things the whole weekend!" and "What a top notch guy!" were the typical comments that I received. Thank you again Snake for the opportunity, as well as, your generosity and time. You are a 'Class Act.' My Very Best Regards." -Ernest R. Emerson, President-Emerson Knives Inc.

"Snake, I am the French guy that learned Savate Boxe Fran�aise during the Summer 2002 at Blocker Academy of Martial Arts. I will come to the Academy to see you all as soon as I will be able to come to the USA again. I have done many boxing bouts in France, especially Savate in the University (I got a University level in France), and, of course, all the technics that I learned from you have been very helpful for me. Furthermore, I have done some Full-contact boxing, Kickboxing, Shidokan boxing/karate, and I am doing all the tests for my Blackbelt in Karate. I have 3 technical levels and I need one more, then I will be able to go through the fight levels. 3 KOs required on 4 fights is how it works in France. A bientot je le pense." -Vince Viandier, BAMA student, Le Havre, France-05 April 2006
