Wim Demeere has practiced a variety of martial arts for more than 20 years, studying mainly Chinese systems and several full-contact fighting styles such as sanshou and Muay Thai. His competitive years saw him win four national titles and a bronze medal at the 1995 World Wushu Championships. He is the former national coach of the Belgian Wushu fighting team and still trains fighters for international competitions. You can reach him at www.wimdemeere.com.
Loren Christensen’s service as a military policeman in Saigon during the Vietnam War, his 25 years as a street cop in Portland, Oregon, and his training in the martial arts since 1965 have provided him with real-world perspective on truly functional self-defense techniques (and earned him a spot on the list of "20 toughest streetfighters" by Black Belt magazine).
