Samir Seif’s Martial Arts Bio & Fight Stats & Certifications

Samir attained his 1st black belt in 1990 in Daito Jiu Jitsu and Hapkido. In the next 5 years training full time and becoming an assistant teacher he would attain associated degrees of the 3rd dan and add Wing Chun Kung Fu and Chi’Na to his resume. Working as an executive protector, security officer/trainer Samir became a “Sifu” and opened up his own school in Grimsby, Ontario in 1995. Using a 5 color system of sashes, he relied on the wing chun kung fu system for his guide which in turn used the original ranking model of Judo. Over the next 2 years Samir studied kyokushin, muay thai, shidokan, kickboxing and Brazilian jiu jitsu like one who is possessed.

By 1997 Samir opened an Academy Of Martial Sciences in Burlington. It was a state of the art gym with over 5000 sq feet of training area. Samir had half a dozen separate martial art systems he could teach and was using their individual ranks and syllabus’s. At this time Samir was recognized as a Master instructor and promoted as a head master of his school by the World Fighting Submission Council and Trapping Association of America. This would have been 7 years from the date of his first black belt. He was teaching separate classes in Wing Chun kung fu, jeet kune do, submission wrestling, tactical combat (weapons, guns, knives, military), jiu jitsu and judo. That year he attained his Judo brown belt from Sensei Dominick McKenna.

Master Trainer Nickolas C Starks, Master Lamar M Davis II signed off certifications of their own school and signed off on original certificates honouring his system. School Master Ronald Beer also recognized Samir as the West Convenor and representative of Shoot Wrestling Canada/Ontario at that time. Master Robert Krantz also recognized Samir under The World Kobudo Federation and came down to test Samir in person. Samir also attained his wrestling coach’s license from the Ontario amateur wrestling association. He attained National Jiu Jitsu Medals at this time, with his last Jiu Jitsu grappling tournament in 1997 as a Gold Medalist, having won silver and bronze medals in previous years. In 1999 to 2001 he was licensed and recognized by the United Federation of Martial Arts. Eleven years after his original black belt and six years since his original school, he now was again the head of his program and chief instructor of Aerokickboxing, Total Body Submission Grappling and Samir’s Combat Reaction. He ran three programs; two for adults and the other for children within United Family Martial Arts. The growth of his program could not be sustained by the room at the gym so Samir was forced to build his now famous Dungeon Dojo in his home. True tests of combat, true tests of warriorhood and grand bonds of camaraderie were made in the depths of his secretive and very private school. The school grew and again he moved to a new home within Hamilton and made a dojo out of a double sized garage that would be the final forge of creating a corp of senior instructors and developing the system of which you see today. Over the years between 1999 and 2003, Samir refined one curriculum for all the martial art systems he had mastered and he redefined his method as a Modern Combat System for a modern day warrior. This would include promoting not only the physical aspect of Martial arts training but also the virtues of what it brought to the mind and the body. He refers to his system as ”the way of the warrior”. Key to each student’s development was the use of 4 dynamic principles and characteristics of self development under the ethical code of Honour:
• Loyalty
• Integrity
• Courage
• Knowledge

In 2003,after a decade of teaching, Samir no longer referred to his system as kung fu, or jiu jitsu, but by Sifu Samir’s Combat Reaction. At this time His Master Instructor Mahamet Khalid Ah’lee passed away and Fowaz Mansoon was soon leaving the country to go back to his Middle East Home. Samir was in turn asked to take on the mantle of head instructor of the Arabian Warrior Combat System. Samir chose to honor their names, their methods and a ceremony to symbolize his recognition of becoming a Shihan (7th dan) but discontinued the use of that name. He believed there was no ethnicity to training. The only specific culture to Martial arts and the science, is cultivation of self as a warrior and learning what that entails plus moving oneself away from creed, colour, religion, race and nationality. All come together as equals.

An opportunity arose in 2006 to train full time in the art of Muay Thai. It came at the same time Samir would open a new school, a state of the art gym once again, with wrestling mats, an ultimate fighting style cage and a ring. With his previous gusto, Samir began training three times a day in addition to his classes, 6 days a week for two years. In this time Samir would go on to become a fully recognized Kru (muay thai instructor), a Canadian/Ontario Champion (super heavy weight belt holder) undefeated, undisputed 3 years straight as well as a member of the Canadian Muay Thai team ,train in Thailand and win a bronze medal for Canada. Samir has fought on pay per view and on the international scene for the last 3 years.

In 2007 he began boxing training and within 3 months with no prior boxing experience became a professional boxer. He knocked out his opponent in the first round. He would go on to knock out his next opponent 5 months later in the 1st round as well. He is well known around the world as the Sandman for his quick and powerful knockouts therefore the name (making his opponents go to sleep) and continues to make a name for himself as a fighter, combat athlete trainer and a Master Martial artist.

It has been almost two decades since Samir’s 1st black belt and almost the same time teaching the martial arts sciences. Recognized by many peers as a source of great training and knowledge, Samir is humbly proud to call many of today’s master instructors his friends, his peers. At the young age of 36, Samir has compiled a strong background in the science of combat arts and the way of the warrior. He now looks forward to training and developing martial artists and combatant athletes in the next generation of Samir’s Combat Reaction.
