Muhammad’s Boxing And Martial Arts – King George
Yusuf A Muhammad
King George, VA | Waldorf, MD
540-775-7555 | Email | Website
In addition, Yusuf is a highly decorated law enforcement officer who had represented his agency on ABC’s 20/20, Fox5 News and several local newspapers.
Yusuf started his martial arts practice in 1971 in the art of Tae Kwon Do; however, he considers the start of his serious study when he began studying under Chuck Jeffreys in 1977. Master Jeffreys taught an eclectic art called Liberated Martial Arts (LMA). This art has a basis founded in the northern shaolin art of T’ien Shan P’ai Kung Fu; however, the art pulls from a variety of other arts to make it feasible for modern combat . Since then Yusuf has practiced in a variety of other fighting systems such as Western Boxing and Brazilian Jui Jitsu. In addition to being an accomplished instructor in his primary systems of Liberated Martial Arts (LMA) and T’ien Shan P’ai Kung Fu, Yusuf holds a 3rd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do.Yusuf takes pride in referring to himself as a “perpetual student”. As such, Yusuf has been certified as an Apprentice Instructor under Guro Dan Inosanto in the Filipino Martial Arts and in Lee Jun Fan Gung Fu/ Jeet Kune Do. As an Apprentice Instructor, Yusuf gains a great deal of knowledge while at the same time sharing that knowledge with his students.
Muhammad’s Boxing and Martial Arts stresses the importance of being diverse in combat skills. Every range must be trained and perfected. From the kicking range, to the punching and trapping ranges, to the standing and ground grappling ranges.
As a community service, Muhammad’s Boxing and Martial Arts trains for free hundreds of women and children in personal safety. Also, Yusuf has a periodic column that appears in the local newspaper aimed at personal safety.
