KAICHO AJ WEIMER
BACKGROUND
Kaicho AJ Weimer began his martial arts journey at the age of six, like many young children, training in Tae Kwon Do. His passion for martial arts would eventually lead him to Japan—the land of the rising sun.
After graduating high school, AJ joined the military, where his first assignment took him to a military base in Tokyo, Japan. He quickly immersed himself in the local martial arts community training at various schools across the region, deepening his knowledge and skills. Craving a faster-paced lifestyle, AJ transitioned out of the military to pursue a full-time career in international security operations and martial arts instruction while continuing to live in Japan as a civilian.
Eager to expand his understanding of Asian culture and traditions, AJ remained in Japan for nearly a decade. He studied the Japanese language, warrior philosophy, and historical practices, earning black belts in Aikido, Jiu-Jitsu Submission Fighting, Filipino Martial Arts, and Combative Weapons. He also trained extensively in the art of the Japanese sword.
In 2003, in recognition of his achievements and dedication, AJ was awarded the school title Yoshindojo, meaning The Way of Truth and Honor, and received the formal title of Kaicho, as the head of the Martial Arts Unlimited Association.


EXECUTIVE PROTECTION
During his time in Japan, AJ began training and working extensively with international security operations traveling all over the world. It was at this time that AJ furthered his training with various programs and courses offered by former special operations members and law enforcement. This enabled him to gain training and certifications for urban combat and counter-surveillance tactics, I.E.D. search and recognition, communications & electronic counter-surveillance, protective and evasive driving, and counter-terrorism tactics.
AJ was working extensively with personal and executive protection for many celebrities and VVIPs around the world. This experience gave him the opportunity to join a special civilian security company to be part of several response teams for kidnap, ransom, and extortion operations in Asia, Europe, and South America. During his time as a security protection officer, AJ gained valuable tools that he implemented into the many programs sponsored by the association like the Security Protection Course, Self-Defense Training and Education programs (S.T.E.P.), and the popular self-defense system Total Fighting Concepts.
