Re-inventing the wheel?

There are many types of MA training, that's for sure. And there are also lots of attempts to design something that is "unique" and "brand new". Many times this "uniqueness" is a way to present something that can be a marketable and profitable system.

Now, I don't know if this is the case here, but it does somehow seem like someone has tried real hard to reinvent the wheel.

Story:
By combining different styles of Martial Arts, instructors within Kupso Martial Arts are teaching all round skills to new students at venues throughout Edinburgh.

They believe that by giving students an all-round training they are more able to deal with different situations. Students get fitter, become more flexible, become hard targets and with esoteric, healing and spiritual awareness training, have confidence to deal with the pressures of modern life.

By mixing the boxing and kicking skills from Chinese Kickboxing, Karate and TaeKwon Do' with throwing, locking and grappling skill of Ao Denkou Jitsu, the student benefits by being able to deal with attacks from short/middle and long range.
