Joe Salomone began his studies in 1973 as a member of the Liu Seong Royal Kung Fu Club in Las Vegas, Nevada under the tutelage of his teacher Grand Master Arthur Sikes. His teacher was a senior student of Great Grand Master Willem Reeders (Liu Seong). To further enhance his skills he entered the world of amatuer boxing from 1977-1984. He became a five time Nevada State Golden Glove and ABF champion, and was selected to represent the U.S.A in International Boxing competition while training at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs from 1981-1983.

In 1980 Mr. Salomone received his Orange Sash (black belt) and began his priest training. He operated several schools in Las Vegas before moving to Phoenix in 1990. He formed (AISDA) the American Institute of Self Defense Arts in 1993 while teaching thousands of students, from pre-school children to adults.

Mr. Salomone authored a book on Tai-Chi Exercise in 1996 and produced instructional videos with his knowledge of these arts. He has traveled around the country since 1997 teaching seminars and certification programs to students, martial art professionals, and the general public. These programs are offered in numerous cities and states including Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, New York, Virginia, and California. (

Dr. Ed Jackson began his martial arts training as a young child studying the arts of Tang Soo Do, Hapkido, American Kenpo, Kajukenbo, Escrima, Silat, Traditional Arnis de Mano, Modern Arnis, Kombatan, Gung Fu and Kun Tao. Dr. Jackson has trained with several of the legends of Martial Arts, including Ed Parker, the CHA3 Kajukenbo Association, Rodel Dagooc, Remey Presas, Ernesto Presas, and Arthur Sikes.

After completing the Doctor of Oriental Medicine Program at Santo Thomas University, Dr.Jackson did post graduate research at the NASDA University of Arts and Sciences. His doctoral thesis focused on a metanalysis of the factors which promote health and the relation to culture/lifestyle. He came to the Southwest having received extensive training in Oriental Medicine, Acupuncture, Nutrition, and Osteopathic Technique.

Dr. Jackson became passionately committed to Lifestyle Therapy and the prevention of disease. Seeing the public need to become educated and assert more control over their own health process, Dr. Jackson formed the First Nations College of Kinesiology and Healing Arts in Durango, CO in 2008. Their mission is to disseminate the Philosophy, Theories and Practice of Alternative Medicine, Kinesiology, and Lifestyle Health to their students. Dr. Jackson places a special appreciation on service learning, community involvement, and the natural wisdom of our Indigenous peoples.

His philosophy is grounded on the principles of Mitakouye Oyasin. This phrase comes from an American Indian prayer which translated means "All My Relations." Mitakouye Oyasin includes the entire web of life, the "people," “animals," "birds," "things that swim," "plants," and all of creation. All are considered sacred and equal. A related understanding is that of the Medicine Wheel that represents non-human life and all human races, the four directions—East, South, West and North, and the four aspects—mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. The world has much to learn from the indigenous philosophies which honors all of creation, and the world is in need in the current time of change. Dr. Jackson’s goal is to bring about integration and balance by having a healer in every household. ( http://www.fnckha.org/index.html )
