Yes. Living Mechanics and the Warrior’s Path Academy are updated consistently throughout the year.

Each January and February, we run a dedicated recording block where Alan and the team focus heavily on filming new lessons, expanding the curriculum, and improving the depth and organization of the archive. Beyond that, we continue recording year-round as classes, private lessons, seminars, camps, and workshops take place.

The result is a living platform, not a one-time dump of content. New material is added regularly so members always have fresh training, deeper breakdowns, and new pathways to explore.

Yes. Online students can work toward rank, but you will need to train with Alan in person at some point in the process. That can be done through private lessons, public seminars, camps, or other live events.

If you want to follow the rank path, contact us through the website and tell us that is your intention. We’ll help you map out a realistic plan based on where you live, how you train, and what events you can attend.

Yes. Membership is month-to-month, and you can cancel anytime. There are no long-term contracts. Stay enrolled for as long as you’re actively training and using the material, and if you ever need to pause, you can do that without hassle.

Yes. Inside the Academy you’ll have options to ask questions and get answers from our team. You can also reach out directly to the staff if you need guidance.

In many cases, we’ll address student questions by filming a detailed response and adding it to the platform, so the Academy continues to grow based on what members are actually working through.

Not always. It depends on what you’re studying and how far you want to take it.

For the Warrior’s Path program, you can make a tremendous amount of progress training solo through breathwork, posture, alignment, mobility, strength development, tool flow training, meditation, and daily physical culture work.

Living Mechanics Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is different. You can start on your own through movement training, solo drills, positioning concepts, mobility, and strength work, but eventually you will need live training with a partner to develop timing, pressure, sensitivity, and resistance-based skill.

Yes. You can arrange a seminar, workshop, or camp with Sifu Alan.

The best way to get it scheduled is to contact our Operations Director, Jennifer Wood, through the website. Send your location, preferred dates, the topic or system you want covered, and whether it is a student seminar or instructor-level training.

Yes. In addition to Warrior’s Path and Living Mechanics, we also offer in-depth instructor and affiliate training paths for the Civilian Tactical Training Association, the C-Tac system, Protection Response Tactics®, Keysi Fighting Method, and other arts Alan teaches.

These paths are designed for serious coaches who want a structured way to study at a higher level and, if desired, bring the material into their own academy or training environment.

Yes. Alan travels throughout the United States each year teaching seminars, workshops, camps, and special events across multiple martial arts systems and defensive tactics topics.

These events are open to online Academy students and are an excellent way to get hands-on coaching, refine details, and deepen your understanding of the material.

No. You don’t need prior experience to start. The Academy is structured so beginners can build a strong foundation step-by-step, while experienced students and coaches can go deeper into mechanics, details, timing, and higher-level training concepts.

Yes. Inside the Academy archive you’ll find detailed written curriculum documents that guide your training. These outlines help you understand what to work on, what order to study it in, and how the material fits together.
