Tommy Carruthers International Martial Arts Organisation

At Tommy Carruthers International Martial Arts Organisation, we believe in keeping things simple, direct and realistic.

Our goal is to teach the martial art the way it was intended to be taught- for self defence. We are only interested in practical self defence techniques that work in real life situations. We know that Bruce Lee's martial art should have no shape or form. But we also believe that students need a starting point and we see no better starting point than using techniques from Bruce Lee's modified Wing Chun, boxing and fencing.

Later on, our students are encouraged to strip away the unessentials and really train the essentials, without any telegraphic motions. We actively avoid using complex techniques that can hinder or slow you down. We see no point in using two moves when you can use just one.

We are convinced that the mechanical principles of Bruce Lee's fighting method are as valid today as they were when Bruce was alive. For example, the shortest distance between two points is STILL a straight line!

Here at Tommy Carruthers.com, we are committed to daily decrease.

Security breach on the old website

Message to members of the Tommy Carruthers website

It has come to our attention that the old Tommy Carruthers website was hacked into last year in September and a list of user names and passwords of members of the Tommy Carruthers website was published on the internet. The list mainly includes hundreds of accounts registered on the old forum which we did not move to the new website. This security breach occurred on the old website, the new website is much less vulnerable to this kind of attack. If you have had an account since the old website and you haven't changed your password since last September then there is a small chance that your current login and password combination is also on this list and so we would urge you to immediately change it to prevent any possible misuse of your account.
