"Discover The Shocking Self Defense Secret That Has THOUSANDS Of Liberal Activists, Martial Artists, And Government Officials Up In Arms, Screaming And Begging To Get It Banned..."

Hi I’m Captain Chris, world leader in self defense. What you are about to read may surprise, enlighten, or possibly help you. But one thing is clear – you’ll have a greater understanding of what is really happening in the martial arts and self defense industry.

There is so much competition, misinformation and similar styles that today even the most knowledgeable person is confused. I hope this article not only stops the confusion but also provides you with the basic knowledge to properly evaluate the best type of self-defense method for you. Our first step is to explain the different categories of martial arts.

COMPARING APPLES TO ORANGES TO MANGOS

Martial arts can be divided into 3 separate categories to accommodate every individual’s wants, needs, abilities, and interests.

The problem lie in that thanks to movies, TV, the internet, and the simple indisputable fact that post World War II there is no actual proof of any one method of fighting being completely dominant in all situations; That these once common knowledge divisions of martial arts have blurred to the point of non-existence. 

While all have many overlapping elements, it is important for you to understand that each category is distinctively different and must be treated as such.

CULTURAL FIGHTING ARTS

The first category, cultural fighting arts, contains every style from traditional karate, to Hapkido, to Kenpo, to Escrima, to Aikido, to Kung Fu, to the countless other cultural…fighting…arts that have been developed throughout history by almost every civilization.

All are fun to do, all are very interesting, and all provide a very well rounded education in world culture and martial theory. However, no cultural fighting art has any proof of dominant effectiveness in the modern world. That means that Aikido, Karate, Kung Fu, and even Israel’s “Krav Maga” is not proven, documented, 100% effective self defense.

Nor does it classify as proven, effective combative sport. Therefore without actual documented proof, it is only martial theory, not fact. Cultural Fighting Arts are wonderful for exploring a method of self-perfection, but has no place in the realm of self-protection.

COMBATIVE SPORT

Combative Sports include Olympic judo, Tae Kwon Do, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai kickboxing, all forms of wrestling, western boxing, and most recently MMA (mixed martial arts) which has been popularized by events such as the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

In combative sport you are forced to prove the effectiveness of your methods and skill in live combat. There is no guesswork, no debate. It either works and you win, or it doesn’t work and you lose.

Everybody in the world saw Combat Sport Brazilian Jiu-jitsu stylist Royce Gracie easily pick apart the cultural fighting art practitioners in the first few Ultimate Fighting pay-per-views.

Search the internet for Muay Thai knockouts and you’ll see some talented and hard working combative athletes blasting each other until unconsciousness.

If you watch Olympic Judo, you’ll see the highest caliber athletes in the world competing in a sport that is symbolic of combat in that the entire basis is to establish a dominant position.

And while Combative Sport is a very, very important component of testing the validity and effectiveness of a martial art, it too is not self defense.

It is only a training and conditioning method for self defense. Combative sport is what you use to train yourself to make sure that your self-defense works under battle stress conditions. Do you understand?

A great example is how the ancient Greeks used wrestling, boxing, and other Olympic events as training for war. NOT as the actual techniques used on the battlefield. But even a more simplistic explanation is simply that that the rules, regulations, and referees that are required in combative sport are NOT going to be there when someone is trying to kill you in a dark alley.

So no, even today’s most popular training methods: Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai, Wrestling, Judo, Boxing, Mixed Martial Arts, etc. are not methods of self defense either. (Training for self defense application yes, self defense no.)

THE SECRETS OF SELF DEFENSE

Self Defense defined is protecting yourself from attack.

Sounds simple right? Well it is.

The real issue is that there are a million-and-one different ways you can be attacked. Everything from a drunk tackling you at the local bar, to an armed mugging on your way home from work, to a carjacking, to being caught in the middle of a military or terrorist operation.

Therefore, Self Defense has one purpose, and one purpose only; To survive.

What I mean is that no sane person, even soldiers, professional fighters, or trained martial artists truly want to hurt or kill another human being. But when it comes to that kill or be killed moment, your natural survival instinct WILL take over and do whatever it can to save your life.

Therefore, learning to properly defend yourself is much more than just avoiding injury, humiliation, or even death. It’s a way of confident living on all levels by harnessing those natural survival instincts to combat our greatest enemy of all: Fear.

Like most things in nature, there in no 100% answer to anything. But when it comes to matters of life and death, the smart thing to do is stack the odds in your favor.

Based on that logic, there is only ONE method of self-defense that has been documented and statistically proven effective under any circumstances, for any individual. And that method is the system of WWII Close Combat Training.
