About Us

Kibun is one of the most effective and time tested strategies for self defense ever devised by man. Fusing ancient Eastern self-defense principles with Brazilian modern fighting styles, people from all walks of life and every profession benefit from the physical training, the mental conditioning, and the unity of mind and body that Kibun provides.

Kibun was developed by David Welp, a world-renowned martial arts expert and a Southern California Police Officer who trains new recruits in the proper way to survive in the field. His experience and training has allowed him to become a Field Training Officer, a much respected position that concentrates on training new recruits in survival techniques.

He has been active in the martial arts community for almost 30 years, teaching and fighting professionally in a number of styles including Tae Kwon Do, Kuk Sool Won (a joint manipulation style of fighting), Jiu-Jitsu, and Mauy Thai Kick Boxing. Mr. Welp has competed professionally in Mauy Thai Kick Boxing throughout the United States for 16 years, has trained with top Jiu-Jitsu fighters out of Huntington Beach, and now privately trains police officers.

His partner in the video is Pablo Cunningham, an experienced police officer who teaches arrest and control techniques to several law enforcement agencies. A former collegiate wrestler with over 25 years experience under his belt, Mr. Cunningham not only teaches wrestling at both high school and college levels, but also instructs police officers on proper take down and restraint techniques. He also challenges many well known martial arts instructors competition in exhibition bouts in order to further hone his fighting skills.

These two martial arts experts are dedicated to providing the latest and most effective fighting and defensive techniques to anyone who can fuse the strength of their body with the power of their mind. Police officers, secretaries, school children, and anyone else who wants to walk the streets with pride and self confidence can understand and implement the lessons taught by the Kibun series of martial art techniques.
