WHY TASP

All systems that Master Carl teaches are on a freestyle basis. This takes the traditional teachings and adapts them for modern situations  and  European body types.

The systems are not bound to the traditional teachings that can be set in stone  and potentially restrictive, but are rather inclusive and will take other techniques from other systems if they work and are effective. Master Carl believes this offers the best of both worlds.

For those who may not want to learn a full martial arts system but would like to learn just  effective self defence techniques .

Master Carl has developed his own self defence system based on a lifetimes experience and study…

MORE ABOUT MASTER CARL

Master Carl learned the hard way from the Chinese- full and semi-contact.In 1987, Master Carl started the Southern Freestyle Association and began teaching classes. Many hundreds of students have learned from Master Carl, with many achieving Black Belt or higher, in all three systems.

In 1995 the Association changed its name to Mo Han Do, to reflect changes made in the three systems so as to cater for Western influences. Over the years Master Carl has honed and perfected his skills in the Arena, many times and has achieved worldwide renown and respect in the Martial Arts world.

This is what Nathan Johnson author of The Enigma of Karate Kata has to say about Master Carl

"My thanks also go to sifu Carl Coppini of Bak Mei and Choy Lay Fut, who, although a lifelong contemporary/rival/friend, made me think hard and deep about the nature of unarmed combat - and still does. Carl put the senior Kung Fu instructors, an international Kung Fu champion, and several well known Karate 'hard men' on the seat of their pants, well before such things became fashionable."
