Certified June 1995 in Jun Fan Gung Fu and Filipino Martial Arts directly under Guru Dan Inosanto 

I have studied martial arts under other instructors throughout the world that Guro Dan Inosanto has introduced me to.  These instructors include Adjrun Chai Sirisute (Muay Thai Boxing Champion from Thailand), Sensei Yorinaga Nakamura (First Shoot Wrestling Champion of Japan), Professor Salem Assli (Savate Silver gloveist from France), Pendeker Paul De Thouraus (Founder of Buti Negar Silat from Indonesia), Punung Guru Edgar Sulite (Founder of Lameco Eskrima Kali from the Philippines), Jean Jacques Machado (Brazilian Jujitsu Champion from Rio De Janeiro, Brazil), Pa Herman Sawanda (Mande Muda Silat).

Today I continue to learn from all the above instructors for their wealth of knowledge is never ending.  For without them, I would not be where I am today.  I will strive to improve and grow with seeking out knowledge until the day I die.

Special Thanks to Guru Inosanto and his wife, Simo Paula Inosanto, for their friendship, and for their open hearts to care so much about me and my family, I can not put into words.  Always your friend and student Charles A. Reed.

 

 

Sifu Shawn Meyer

Hello, My name is Shawn Meyer and I am a student and Certified Instructor under  Guro Dan Inosanto.  I have been training under Sifu Reed since 1993 in Jeet Kune Do and have been an instructor for him since 1996.  I have had the opportunity to experience many types of martial arts in class and at seminars held at the Reed Academy of Martial Arts.  Some of these arts include Wing Chun, Muay Thai, Bando, Savate, Silate, Chinese Boxing, Kali, Lameco Eskrima, Kenpo, Jiu-Jitsu, Shoot Wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Jun Fan Kickboxing, and Western Style Boxing.

I have also had the honor of meeting some of the top instructors from around the world at the Reed Academy including Guro Dan Inosanto, Professor Salem Assli, Jean Jacques Machado, Punong Guro Edgar Sulite, Dr. G, founder of Bondo, and Siya Dave Osbourne, an instructor under Dr. G.  The Reed Academy of Martial Arts has been an excellent place to train.  I have experienced many things to help me practically defend myself and my loved ones.  The most important thing that the Reed Academy has given me is life skills and how to be open to everything I am exposed to in daily life.  I have learned that there is much more to martial arts than fighting.  Sifu Reed has helped bring out the best in myself and has helped make me a more confident individual. 

I would like to thank Guro Dan Inosanto for giving Sifu Charles Reed guidance in Jeet Kune Do and in Mr. Reed's personal life. You have helped develop a great individual who has changed my life forever.  I am forever grateful to the Reed Academy of Martial Arts and to Guro Dan Inosanto. Lastly, I would like to thank Simo Paula Inosanto for all of her hard work and always being there.

 

Sifu Jon Meyer

Hello, My name is Jon Meyer and I became involved in martial arts at the age of seventeen when I met Sifu/Guro Charles Reed.  I remember watching class before signing up at the Greenhills location, thinking to myself "WOW, this is where I want to be.".  I signed up as a student and trained every day that the school was open!  Then the Reed Academy of Martial Arts (RAMA) moved to the Mount Healthy location which was a much larger facility.  After approximately one year of training, I was offered to be an assistant instructor at the Mount Healthy location.  I gladly accepted the responsibilities of an instructor/student at RAMA.  At the present time (and always) I am a student under Sifu/Guro Charles Reed at the Route 4 location.

My proudest moment in martial arts was in 1999 when I became certified in Jun Fan Gung Fu and the Filipino Martial Arts under the most heart warming and humble man I know, Sifu/Guro Dan Inosanto. There are no words that can describe the appreciation I have for this gentleman!  I also hold the rank of yellow glove in Boxe Francaise Savate under Professor Salem Assli.

I  would like to thank my friend Sifu/Guro Charles Reed for all that you have done for me.  Without your friendship, guidance and your love for martial arts, who knows where I would be!  The academy that you provide to all of us has been such a positive influence on my life and I thank you!.  Thanks to all the seminars that the RAMA host and the seminar circuit outside the school, I have had the opportunity to train with the following instructors (in no particular order):

Sifu/Guro Dan Inosanto (Jun Fan Gung Fu/JKD Concepts, Filipino Martial Arts, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Silat, Bando, Wing Chun, Shoot Wrestling....)
Professor Salem Assli (Boxe Francaise Savate)
Punong Guro Edgar G. Sulite (Lameco Eskrima International)
Mr. Jean Jacques Machado (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu)
Pendekar Herman Suwanda (Pencak Silat Mande Muda International)
Dr. Muang Gyi (Bando)
Arjan Chai Sirisute (Muay Thai)

I’ve been with the Reed Academy since 1997, learning Gung Fu & Jeet Kune Do Concepts.  Since 2000, I’ve been teaching classes for Sifu Charles Reed. Sifu Reed has taught me a lot about myself, both physically and mentally.  In the years with the Reed Academy, I have become good friends with the instructors, Sifu Reed, Sifu Jon Meyer & Sifu Shawn Meyer along with the students.  I have achieved the rank of Green Glove in Boxe Francaise Savate under Professor Salem Assli.  I achieved Purple Belt ranking in Brazilian Jujitsu under Jean Jacques Machado in April, 2007.  In June, 2007, I received certifications in Jun Fan Gung Fu and Filipino Martial Arts under Guro Inosanto.  Thanks to Sifu Reed, Sifu Jon Meyer & Sifu Shawn Meyer, for helping me achieve this high honor.  I would like to thank Sifu Reed for the opportunities & knowledge that he has given me to accomplish my goals in the martial arts and in life.  I hope that I will be able to pass on the knowledge given to me by this great man, Sifu Reed.  I would also like to thank the Reed Academy for the opportunities to train with some of the top martial artists in the world by hosting annual seminars.  The seminars hosted by the Reed Academy that I have attended include Guro Dan Inosanto (Jun Fan Gung Fu/Jeet Kune Do, Filipino Martial Arts, Wing Chun, Silat), Professor Salem Assli (Boxe Francaise Savate), and World Champion Jean Jacques Machado (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu), Guro Victor Gendrano Jr (Kali).
