"Dr. Payne is one of the finest men and Martial Artists I know and Ken-shen ryu International is a top notch, amazing organization with many opportunities to train in some of the best Martial Systems in the world." - Grandmaster Shuoshi James A. Christopher DEan - Twentynine Plams, California

 

"Dr Philip A Payne is one of the most knowledgable Masters of the martial arts with whom I have the honor to be affiliated with. Ken- Shen ryu international guides students thru simplified effective drills that establish building blocks of a well rounded martial artist. Ken- Shen ryu expands that knowledge and effectiveness throughout all the levels of education within its system." - Grandmaster Shoushi Raymond Pridgen - Princeton, Indiana

 

"I am now convinced that Ken-shen ryu is the art for me ... I seem to be learning as much or more from teaching the Curriculum as I did when I was learning it; almost like the moves and techniques are starting to teach me instead of me teaching them ... if you have not taken a minute and really looked at the Core Curriculum and studied it ... you are missing out. Dr. Payne has put together a masterpiece; and like music, you have to learn how to read it before you can ever learn how to play it." - Eric Elliott Sensei - Newburgh, Indiana

 

"I first met Dr. Payne nearly 20 years ago. In that time I've looked into other things and even graduated from KYSARIII, but I've never seen anything like this curriculum. If there was a better all around self-defense system out there, I'd be involved in it. The fact is, there's not and that's why I'm still here. His students receive training in threat assessment, control and elimination, self-defense using our empty hands, traditional weapons and tactical firearms techniques, identity theft prevention, detection and reconciliation, cyber security, wilderness survival, disaster preparedness and much, much more. In addition, we receive amazing rates on the purchase of top grade survival gear, discounts on the very best in legal defense services, other amazing deals related to personal protection; and qualified students are presented with two great employment opportunities, so we can earn back the cost of our tuition, while attaining a life without limits for ourselves and guaranteeing the same to people with special needs." - James Dixon - Grandview, Indiana

 

"I am a retired U.S. Army Ranger and edged weapons instructor. Having known Philip for nearly eleven years, I've seen him as a friend, father, teacher, and businessman. Ken-shen Ryu increased my knowledge and improved my character. I fully endorse both he and his program." - Glenn Hardman, former U.S. Army Ranger and 4th Degree Black Belt - Calera, Alabama

 

"Thank you, Sir, for finally bringing us into the twentieth (and maybe the 21st) Century." - Master Jim Anderson - Florida

 

 

"Thanks for adding me to the Fellowship. Since I teach wing chun I sometime feel alienated by the karate world. The karate mentality is so different from wing chun's. I appreciate you." - Sifu Armando Sainz - Jacksonville, Florida

 

"I'm so excited! I just opened the videos here in the hotel room, and their awesome." Thomas Meredith, Lacrosse, Wisconsin.

 

"You teach more in one hour than most people can wrap their heads around." - Tyler Franchville - Derby, Indaina
