Dr. Ed Jackson began his martial arts training as a young child studying the arts of Tang Soo Do, Hapkido, American Kenpo, Kajukenbo, Escrima, Silat, Traditional Arnis de Mano, Modern Arnis, Kombatan, Gung Fu and Kun Tao. Dr. Jackson has trained with several of the legends of Martial Arts, including Ed Parker, the CHA3 Kajukenbo Association, Rodel Dagooc, Remey Presas, Ernesto Presas, and Arthur Sikes.

After completing the Doctor of Oriental Medicine Program at Santo Thomas University, Dr.Jackson did post graduate research at the NASDA University of Arts and Sciences. His doctoral thesis focused on a metanalysis of the factors which promote health and the relation to culture/lifestyle. He came to the Southwest having received extensive training in Oriental Medicine, Acupuncture, Nutrition, and Osteopathic Technique.

His philosophy is grounded on the principles of Mitakouye Oyasin. This phrase comes from an American Indian prayer which translated means "All My Relations." Mitakouye Oyasin includes the entire web of life, the "people," "animals," "birds," "things that swim," "plants," and all of creation. All are considered sacred and equal. A related understanding is that of the Medicine Wheel that represents non-human life and all human races, the four directions—East, South, West and North, and the four aspects-mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. The world has much to learn from the indigenous philosophies which honors all of creation, and the world is in need in the current time of change. Dr. Jackson's goal is to bring about integration and balance by having a healer in every household. (http://www.fnckha.org/index.htm )
