October 21, 2012, Tasi H. worked directly with Michael at Defensive Combat InitiativesMichael Schwarz has done great work on behalf of the WSEF-World Serrada Escrima Federation and WE are ALL grateful to him. Michael Schwartz has great acumen for martial arts and has produced Serrada escrima instructional modules for basic Serrada escrima. These modules I highly endorse and utilize myself with my students. To me one of his crowning achievements is the collection of recorded audio interviews with many martial arts Masters & Grand Masters on his website and page on Face Book. This man is the real deal.

Thank you
GM Davis and GM Alo for the kind words and encouragement. We really appreciate
it. All credit goes to the high degree of skill and professionalism of our
teacher SM Mike Schwarz. He has done a phenomenal job and we owe everything to
him. As it is with anything, the knowledge gained is only as good as the
teacher teaching it. We've learned so much but also realize that we've only
scratched the surface. Thanks SM Schwarz for putting up with us, and thanks GM
Davis for calling the other day, it was a pleasure to talk with you.

"Guro Michael Schwarz is an excellent Escrima teacher and practitioner. This book teaches the first level of the GGM Angel Cabales/GM Anthony Davis system of Serrada Escrima. It teaches all the basic movement to make you successful in this art. You first learn the salute and then right into the 12 angels of attack. This book has a lot of pictures and explanations of those pictures that really help you learn the basics of this system. Once you learn the basic single stick techniques, Guro Schwarz teach you the empty hand translation to everything you learned with a sticks. The empty hand translations of the stick techniques isn’t something I have seen very much of. Guro Schwarz teaches straight forward combat in his book, and not flash and flare which has become so common now a days. I for one can’t wait until the next level is published."

"Highly skilled, and a complete professional in
every sense of the word", that's how I would briefly describe SM Guro Mike
Schwarz. That wouldn't do him justice however, because his diverse level
of knowledge and experience in the martial arts isn't easy to define. His
teaching techniques are very efficient, and he finds a way to incorporate new
lessons very naturally. His in depth knowledge of differing styles allows
him to recognize and explain the broader picture and purpose of each new
technique or lesson. His instruction never becomes stale, and he
maintains his student's attention without superficial methods, or at the risk
of compromising the art of Serrada Escrima. My family and I have been
extremely blessed and fortunate to have the opportunity to train with Guro Mike
Schwarz.
With Great Respect,

I have only been with Guro Michael Schwarz for a little over 6 months. Not really a long time..But in that short period Guro Mike has opened my eyes to a world that is rich in culture...He has this uncanny knack of turning on light switches in my head, which enables me to see beyond just the ordinary world of technique..I enjoy my workout sessions with Guro Mike and I hope to continue this Friendship into the future...thank you...Joe Contini
Guro Mike has laid out a program that is clear, concise and easy to follow. His lessons are done in such a manner that the technique is done at a reduced speed to show the proper body positioning and striking angle. This is then followed up with the technique being repeated in real time. During the initial demonstration Guro Mike breaks down the subtleties of the body positioning so there is no confusion for the student. This makes for a lesson that is easy to follow.
