SAMUEL RAMANZO – Leadership

Samuel Romanzo brings his years of domestic and overseas training and work experience to our team and is ready to share his insights to safeguard and improve the lives of our clients. He is currently a training instructor for the US Dept. of Energy’s Tactical Response Forces and operates his own tactical training company. Samuel has spent decades working with a full spectrum of clients, from untrained civilians to corporate clients, and to include experienced military personnel – tailoring courses to the specific needs of the trainees. As added strength and support for our clients, Samuel draws from a deep pool of highly trained and experienced instructors. We have current and former members of the US Army’s Special Forces and the US Navy’s Special Warfare communities ready to assist with training worldwide. All of whom are ready and prepared to develop and run a program specific to the needs of any individual or group.

As a philosophy, Team Fudoshin believes in offering more than simply self-defense and tactical training to our clients. Our training is developed around “Lessons Learned” by the people who have been there, done that – and survived. While training with us, our instructors will recount stories from Special Operations training and combat experience that will demonstrate the steps to success in hostile situations, as well as daily life. We offer what we like to call “Battlefield to Life” training. The same concepts that will get you through an extremely hostile situation will also lead to success while encountering the adversity we face in everyday life.

For most of us, (unless our job is to go in harm’s way) 99% of the battles we fight each day are not physical encounters. We find adversity at work, at home, with the people around us and with the roadblocks life throws at us all too often. Success in these
battles still requires training. We take the methods of battlefield success from those that have been there and teach you how to apply those same methods to your life. This way, no matter what form the adversary takes – a knife wielding intruder, an angry boss or trouble getting out of bed in the morning – you will emerge victorious.

Samuel has also spent a lifetime in the martial arts, training and teaching. He has operated full-time, professional martial arts schools since 1999, in both Virginia and New York. He is currently teaching Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and MMA at his school in Fairfax, VA
