Edward Barinque has trained since 1975 in a variety of martial arts such as Judo, Tae Kwon Do, Shorin-ryu, Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do and Filipino Martial Arts. He has taught numerous seminars and classes on self-defense since 1994 to both private groups and corporations. He is affiliated with the world famous IMB Academy of Torrance, California.

Assaults on individuals occur every single day. All people, regardless of gender are responsible for their own safety and protection. They must have at the very least a basic knowledge of how to defend themselves if they become victims.

Martial Arts Skill Development-Training Programs (MASDT) was created by Edward Barinque in 1994 to promote martial arts as a whole and to teach basic martial arts and self-defense skills to non-martial artists. He feels that these skills can empower individuals and help to reduce their chances of becoming victims.
