Native Kenpo

F a l a m m i c h i

Native Kenpo is English generic name of this system. The true name of this body of work is  Falammichi in Chief Roman's Native Choctaw language. The founder of this system was created by Adrian Roman, a 67 year old full blood Choctaw Indian. Roman is a 9th degree black belt in  the late Grandmaster Edmond K. Parker American Kenpo System. After Parkers death in 1990 Roman  began to modify Parkers Kenpo system into yet another completely different system call Falammichi. 

He began blending Parkers principals  with information and movements (ilhkoli) learned as a young boy in the 40’s and 50’s from his Native elders in Oklahoma and began to teach it.  Today its  complete but is being tweaked while teaching this new system to his current Black Belts. This system is in keeping with Parkers principals yet adding Roman philosophy of shorter techniques with the underlying theme of total control. Roman has his share of doubter out there, but why would anyone question a  Choctaw  Indian his age, who speaks his native language, have doubts about the authenticity of his body of work. This system is available to all who want to become certified instructors as a member of the Native American Kenpo Council.

For me personally, Ed Parker's American Kenpo has been a wonderful vehicle to get me where I am today.  It teaches the destructive force that we can have on a human body, but Kenpo’s most important lesson is  not to take that destructive path. We should be  above physical violence and we must set the bar high for the ones that follow us. We should have impeccable character and integrity and wish the best for all people. However there is more to life than the study of Kenpo. When I outgrow Kenpo and/or your particular system/style, we can move on to something new, never to forget our roots. There is a conscious among the public that Kenpo is a dying art. It's because every one is doing the same old Kenpo with no innovation. We must move on into the new era of Native Kenpo/Falammichi.

My philosophies, the Movement of Life, Seven Sacred Feathers are the cornerstone of Falammichi.   My system was introduced in 2000 and has evolved into something of which I am very proud.  We have small, but growing, numbers. Through the involvement of family members and close friends, that will change. Last but not least is my Falammichi Philosophy.

As some of you know, I am Choctaw Indian from Oklahoma. Falammichi is a Native Choctaw word, is not easily translated into English, and has many meanings.

Falammichi: to sing, to answer, to bring back, to give back, to defend, to replace, to return to each other, a restorer, to reinstate, to acquire much knowledge, to teach and return, a man of integrity, achukma hatak (good man) a great man. Hatak Falammichi is a man who had these qualities about him. 

I am now 67 years and my 1st priority each day is to be a better person today than I was yesterday. If I succeed, I know the Great Spirit will smile graciously upon me and give me the tools to help others. My goal is to become Hatak Falammichi. My journey is different now that I'm in the autumn of my life.  My heart is Chukma (good).

Ladies and gentleman, my first form Achafa Set (meaning one in Choctaw) in my Falammichi/Native Kenpo System is available to view on YouTube web site.  There are eight techniques that make up the Achafa Set.

With the help of my good friend, independent film maker Kyle Saylors, we gave it a movie fight scene look. I hope you will enjoy it. We plan to do more of this kind of projects in the future. In our haste to get it produced and uploaded we neglected to list in the credits my son Lee Roman operating one of the cameras. Kyle and Lee did a wonderful in filming the video. If you have need of film services, I suggest you contact Kyle Salors before he get famous. Here is his e-mail contact. kylesaylors@yahoo.com

To view the two minute clip simply past the link above in the address position on your browser.  Or go to the YouTube site and search Chief Roman. There you will find several clips.

Please view the Achafa Set fight scene and please leave a commit. If you would, please share the clip with all of your friends and contacts. Contact me personal if you wish to get more information about training in this system.

We plan to showcase this new system at a three day seminar in New Jersey Fall 2010. Contact me for more info as we finalizes plans.  

I wish everyone a bless and safe weekend. Respectfully Chief Adrian Roman

Martial Arts Talk Forums and others:

I have visited these forums sites and  99.9% of these people who participate have absolutely no knowledge of the marital arts world. They participate in this forum and criticize the great master and others who have the knowledge and answers to the questions they are searching for.

They are followers or sparrows as I refer to them. We, the masters are the Eagles. They form a large group and make a lot of useless noise and confusion for others who are searching for real answers. I have been a topic for these cowards who hide behind a keyboard and poke fun. If they had any backbone at all, they would pick up the phone and call. I’ll answer and give them the answers they are searching for. I would imagine that most of them are in there 20’s or 30’s and don’t know any better. I’m 67; doing martial arts before they were born and I have most of the answers.

The number one topic about me is this. I sell black belts. Wrong, I produce and sell martial arts distant learning program. This information does not include a black belt certification. However if they choose to master the material and test  they can receive a 1st degree black belt certification.

The number two topic is you need a personal instructor and cannot learn from DVD’s. Wrong, these idiots are assuming that there personal instructors in the school of their choice are qualified. These so call experts who open a school could be many, many, generation away from the source of the material they are teaching. I am 1st generation under Grandmaster Ed Parker and the source of my own systems. You can’t get any closer than that. For you people, who do not believe in this simple concept, try this. Put ten people in a line and teach the first one in the line a technique. Let him teach the next in line and so on down the line. Go to the 10th in line and see what you get. It will not even resemble what the 1st one was taught. My advise to you is find the oldest instructor with the highest rank you can find in the system of your choice, then qualify him by how close he is to his instructor. Still no guarantees, but a lease you will look somewhat intelligent by doing so. I know, there are always exceptions to the rule, however if you find one, let me know and I will study under him.
