In 1983 after more than thirty years of  research & training, Randall Brown was proclaimed a Soke of Bujutsu  by Asian Grandmasters from both Japan and Okinawa. So frightening and vicious was his system, that these venerable Soke (headmasters) agreed that it should be called Akumu Ryu Bujutsu (the Nightmare Tradition of warrior arts) and that he should be considered above rank.

For years he taught Akumu Ryu and quickly gained the reputation of  being "the master's master" as  black belts from many different disciplines filed through his door to learn his way. Some said that it was the most beautiful and brutal system they had ever seen, while others felt that they had found the art of their dreams and the perfect master to teach it to them. The praises began to roll in as Akumu proved itself in military skirmishes and violent ports around the world.

Not contented to rest on his laurels, the Soke next took on the world of mixed martial arts competition. Believing that Akumu could stand toe-to-toe with any fighting art, he began training a select group of men for this most extreme contest. His students won many local and regional titles, a world championship  and  eventually received an invitation to fight in the UFC. Akumu had proven itself once again and the Soke soon had one of the  largest schools in his region. But he was still restless...

It was no secret among his black belts that the Soke was becoming disenchanted with  the state of the martial arts and was again searching for a better way. He no longer wore his belt and gi, he withdrew himself from the Asian Societies that had awarded him his titles and he began distancing himself  from the mixed martial arts scene.

While their Tribes  have no systematized martial arts, their warfare methods remain as intact as  their bond with nature.  In their past, he found the  earth philosophy that would guide him on as a martial artist and free him from servitude to styles.  From his  early journey in traditional Japanese, Korean and Chinese disciplines, into his wanderings through Thai, Indonesian, Brazilian and  Phillipine arts, and back again to the earth philosophy of his ancestors, the Soke had come full circle.  Thus began  his  second expression of the martial arts and  the pathway known simply as  Trybz.

Here in this hall of words, you will come to understand why people from all over find Trybz to be  a celebration of warrior hood in one of its most beautiful, deadly and thought provoking forms. The natural warrior...
