The RTMS Levels Guide
is designed to record your progress in Rick Tew's Martial Science and
Modern Ninjitsu. It is essential to the growth of your training. Use it as a guide for achieving mastery in the Martial Science.
Please note that the Martial Science is ever-changing and we want to focus on your own strengths and weaknesses. Although we offer a complete system in the martial arts it is really just a guideline to help you master your own personalized system.
Sensei Tew has spent more than 20 years in the field of the Martial Arts and Ninjitsu and this system is exactly what you need to excel in the martial arts or personal development. People that attempt to offer similar programs are usually copying what Sensei Tew has created for his students. If you are a member of RTMS then you are one of the few to get it from the source.
LEVELS
There are 5 levels required for Instructor Status, each with 18 individual lessons. The 18 lessons are made up of 2 skills or techniques from the following 9 areas of focus in the Martial Science:
01 Stance
02 Roll
03 Fall
04 Strike
05 Kick
06 Body Movement
07 Knowledge
08 Combat
09 Weapon
Each level also represents a belt color (although not a requirement in our system):
Level 1 = Gray Belt
Level 2 = Yellow Belt
Level 3 = Blue Belt
Level 4 = Red Belt
Level 5 = Black Belt
TESTING
There are two boxes next to each specific skill or technique. You mark the first box when you have been taught or studied the specific skill. You mark the second box when you receive a passing grade from an instructor on that specific lesson. When performing for the instructor to TEST, you must demonstrate the following:
1. Demonstrate the skill
2. Apply the skill
3. Knowledge of the skill
For example, if you’re testing on a forward roll, you might:
1. Show the roll alone = demonstrating competency
2. Show how the roll could be used when pushed = application
3. Show how to teach a person to do a proper roll = knowledge
There are also lines and spaces for you to take notes and keep personal records. These will assist you in your training. So be sure to make use of them and review your notes daily. Use the class sheets on the next page to take notes for each of your classes. You will need to make copies for future classes.
Good luck in training!
