The system represents a unique, fully functional blending of traditional martial art principals with the most up to date knowledge of physics, physiology and anatomy. Every movement, technique, tactic and strategy is evaluated in light of self-defense practicality. Closshey enlisted with the U.S. Army Security Agency shortly in 1965. He was selected for Officer Candidate School and graduated in early 1967. His first assignment was as Cryptographic and Communications Security Officer for HQUSEUCOM, the joint headquarters for all U.S. forces in Europe. Upon being promoted to First Lieutenant, he was posted as Officer in Charge of Physical, Cryptographic and Communications Security for the field headquarters location of HQUSEUCOM. It was during this time that he began his official martial arts training under a Korean Master. In 1969, Closshey left active duty to resume his formal education, attending Polk Community College, Florida Southern College, and the University of South Florida, obtaining a Bachelor of Arts in Social and Behavioral Sciences. Closshey also attended Stetson University College of Law. While attending to his academic goals and working part time he also continued his martial arts training. In 1974, he received his first Kenpo Black Belt from Joe Lewis Karate Studio in St. Petersburg, FL. In 1982, Kenpo Grand Master Edmund K. Parker accepted him as a personal student, lasting until Parker's death in 1990. After Mr. Parker's passing, Closshey continued his Kenpo training with the open, inquisitive, innovative and above all practical approach that Grand Master Parker had always advocated. In addition to the Black Belt level certification from his original Korean Master, Closshey holds advanced Black Belt rank in three different Kenpo systems and in Shotokan Karate. He has cross trained extensively in ju-jitsu, aikijujitsu and kenjutsu. Closshey is a graduate of the NRA Law Enforcement Officer Firearms Instructor Certification Course and a Florida Licensed Firearms Instructor. He is a licensed Professional Bodyguard who has protected high profile civilian and government clients on three continents. Closshey balances the time demands of his professional and business interests with his own personal training, providing dynamic, highly focused "Self-Defense" seminars for law enforcement agencies, universities, corporations and highly motivated individuals or small groups.

Amiable, dark and wavy-haired and with a slim mustache, actor/dancer Charles Collins would be distantly remembered for his one big film role, the title charmer in the lowbudget programmer Dancing Pirate (1936). Born on January 7, 1904, on a farm in Frederick, Oklahoma, he was a self-taught teenage saxophone player before learning to dance. A business school graduate following high school, he later worked as an accountant but never lost track of his interest in dancing and sidelined as a performer in a local Oklahoma City musical "The Merry Widow". He continued to this artistic interest with work in vaudeville and made his Broadway debut as a dancer in "Artists and Models" at age 23. Meeting fellow dancer Nitza Vermille in the show, they formed a dancing act on the vaudeville circuit and he later soloed in London revues for a time. Charles met dancer/actress Dorothy Stone, daughter of actor Fred Stone, when they were all performing in the Broadway musical "Ripples" (1930) and they married a year later. Later they put together a nightclub dance act. They also appeared in the Broadway musical "Smiling Faces" (192 and "As Thousands Cheer" (1934). They also appeared in Charles' first film short Shave It with Music (1932) and in the short Paree, Paree (1934). He failed to capitalize on his two chances at film stardom. The lead in Poverty Row musical Dancing Pirate (1936) was too lowbudget to garner much interest in the tall, lean actor. A second feature lead in Swing Hostess (1944) opposite Martha Tilton proved the same. In later years he and his wife returned to Broadway ("Sea Legs" (1937), "Hooray for What!" (1938), toured in a slew of stage shows, appeared in a couple of musical shorts, and entertained the troops overseas. Their final Broadway endeavors were "You Can't Take It With You" (1945), which starred Dorothy's father Fred Stone and the revival of her father's stage vehicle "The Red Mill" (1947). When offers faded, Charles later switched to focus more as a talent agent. Following Dorothy's death in 1974, he met and lived with his longtime companion Catherine Garvin. His last work was a 1984 episode of "The Master" on TV. He died of pneumonia at age 95 in Santa Barbara, CA.
