Welcome
U.T.D.
(Universal Training Dummy)
The Universal Training Dummy or U.T.D. was created by Grandmaster Safakhoo to enhance the skill of its user by forcing one to exercise strategic creativity as well as hone one’s physical combat skills. The U.T.D. serves as a three-dimensional visual aid which assists students in conceptualizing the application of the combat strategies devised by Grandmaster Safakhoo. Involving all angles as opposed to unilateral training, Grandmaster Safakhoo’s octopus training concepts allow one to practice all of the movements required in combat including: flanking, turning, and dodging in a continuous and circular manner.
As an original concept belonging to Grandmaster Safakhoo, the U.T.D. is designed to enhance a student’s overall learning experience in the art of T.O.A.S. Nabard.By offering this creative three-dimensional device as opposed to traditional one dimensional wooden-dummy models, Grandmaster Safakhoo has revolutionized sparring training in martial arts.
T.O.A.S. TRIFLEX
(Stretching Device)
The T.O.A.S. Nabard Combat system is designed after the 3 dimensional attack/defensive ability of the Octopus. In order to most closely imitate this circular strike ability, the human body must be as flexible as physically possible. Among the many unique stretches and devices designed by Grandmaster Safakhoo, is the T.O.A.S. Triflex. The T.O.A.S. Triflex is designed to use the body weight of the practitioner to increase strength and maximize flexibility simultaneously.
With proper use, this device is considered safe for individuals with ankle, knee, and hip problems, as a modification to the traditional “floor” split method. Consistent use will result in extreme flexibility of the leg muscles. Achieving an advanced level of flexibility enables the practitioner to more easily visualize, comprehend, and execute the strategies in T.O.A.S. Nabard.
Provided above are the blueprints for the design of the T.O.A.S. Triflex. Master Safakhoo generously allows students of T.O.A.S. Nabard as well as all fellow practitioners of any martial art use of this device, provided that proper credit is given to Grandmaster Safakhoo as the creator and rights holder of the T.O.A.S. Triflex. As with any exercise devise depicted here, the user assumes all risk and responsibility.
