The Gym
Long before it was popular to cross train in martial arts in the U.S.
there existed a unique training facility known only to those in the loop
who were dedicated to advancing their practical knowledge of no-rules
fight training. Known only as, "The Gym", this seemingly low-key
facility was the brainchild of Michael Bussey, and has been in constant
re-invention since its inception in the 1970's.
Bussey is a veteran expert of the fighting arts and has a long an
impressive resume spanning over three decades. After first earning
black belts in his youth, Michael soon went on to compete in some of the
countries earliest full contact tournaments. He ran his own martial
arts academy while still in his teens before going on to a successful
career in law enforcement. Later, after becoming one of America's
earliest instructors of authentic Ninjutsu, he was instrumental in the
development of RBWI, a modern combat organization founded by his brother
Robert. RBWI became one of the largest, most respected combat
organizations in the world with branches located from Los Angeles to
Nassau. Since the 1980's Michael has conducted numerous seminars and
been coaching individuals in no-rules sparring.
