Lt. Fred Leland, Walpole, Massachusetts:
Walpole PD Director / Trainer, Law Enforcement and Security Consulting, Inc.
"I just received your ABC video series and sir I have to say, I have been a law enforcement officer and trainer for 21 years and I am a former Marine Corps Grunt. I have never seen such an outstanding, well put together program and I am only 2 DVD in to it. Sir your knowledge and way of delivering it is outstanding... . I'm going to make sure the officers up here in Massachusetts hear about your program. I have to make a special effort to come train with you at one of your seminars. The techniques you teach have been tested in real combat, it's simple and it works. ABC gets it done!"
Bryan, Washington, DC:
"The first DVD has allowed me to think on a much higher level. I now have a very clear picture of true combat. I have used what I have learned and integrated it to other systems. I fully understand the material, including the mental techniques. At the end of the program I could really see myself protecting the ones I love as well myself. Keep up the good work and educating the world."
Brandon Spears, New Mexico:
I realize that this is some very powerful material and I already see how it is superior to my traditional karate training that I have enjoyed for the past few years. I think that training with this system will really allow to me to defend myself properly. Your "By the Numbers" system is absolutely amazing! Literally five minutes after I practiced it, I was recounting the numbers in my head and superimposing them on past fights or training matches that I’ve had. The fact that this system allows you to instantly react to a situation, just like a natural reflex, is absolutely the best thing about it. It is a great feeling to know that I can truly defend myself and carry myself with confidence wherever I go.

Chris Hand, Ponca City, Oklahoma:

"As a deputy sheriff, I have actually got to put in use what you have taught me... I promise you, I Fear No Man!"

Listen to more of what Chris had to say:

Tony Smith, Oak Lawn, Illinois:

"This training fits right into my no-nonsense schedule... I absolutely look forward to incorporating the main techniques into my self defense strategy."

Listen to more of what Tony had to say:

Robert Henning, La Canada, California:

"You don't see many people willing to offer a free test drive before you even buy their product... These basic DVDs alone made it clear that you knew exactly what you were talking about!"

Listen to more of what Robert had to say:

Martin Joergensen Afseth, Norway:
The most important thing is that I have gradually become stronger and more physically fit than I could have ever thought possible! It doesn't take much time and effort to get in great shape. I have a better understanding for how to get in shape fast, efficiently, and almost effortlessly. There is a relaxing feeling I get after my workout, the feeling that I actually did something worth while. The corporation is very professional, and deals with businesses efficiently. It's great that you guys are getting the "martial" back in martial arts.
Nancy Snyder, Denver, Colorado:
I'm a black belt in karate, but the material you are presenting is much more helpful in real-life situations than the sparring moves I use in the dojo. I have just viewed the ABC set and a few other videos, such as Women's Self-Defense, and am just getting started on my training - but it is turning out to be exactly what I was hoping for. It is very convenient to have the opportunity to either practice the moves alone or with a partner. In addition to a great product the customer service reps were extremely helpful when I called and offered me above and beyond what I requested. The best benefit to this new training material will later be shared the next time my soon-to-be ex husband violates the restraining order; I am very confident to assume what the results will be.
Carlin Ellyson, Titusville, Florida:
I am 60 years old and decided to see what all the hype was about. With the Close Combat Training program, I have seen things that jog my memory, like how to escape from a "choke hold." A noticeable difference from my Judo classes as a teen was that the teacher did not teach me how to "really fight," because everything was geared toward competition. CCT teaches you how to "stop and eliminate the threat" quickly! My learning is going at a reasonable pace; however, I learn and master each part one at a time.

Some of the most significant information I have seen is the 8 points of attack. This was totally new information and a new concept of thinking about how to react to the opponent's attacks. Another thing that I like is that Captain Chris gives not only the move, but also the accompanying counter move. He explains the geometry of the move and counter move. Something I have discovered in a fight is that you cannot dwell on a plan, but "think creatively on the fly."

I have gained more confidence on what to do if multiple people attack you. While you would think that a 60 year old would be done with fighting, you would be mistaken. There is always some one who wants to "screw with the old man." I do not like to fight, so when this happens, I need to be able to react and show this young man the error of his ways. Learning how to extricate myself from a variety of "holds" and then how to dish out "a sound thrashing" is very important to me. CCT does this with no apologies.

Paul Denholm, Brisbane, Australia:

"I thought my course was pretty damn good until I came across your product just recently... I truly believe what you teach is accurate, and most importantly for me, it's real."

John Szymkowicz, Washington, DC:

"I'm a 61-year old warrior... I find your personal opinion that you send out through email as interesting as your videos!"

Luis Gamez, Miami, Florida:

"As a 'disabled person,' finding self defense techniques for me has always been a challenge... I've finally found something that truly fits my particular abilities."

Listen to more of what Luis had to say:

David Taylor, Columbus, Ohio:
I am very happy with how my training is going so far. It has motivated me to get active and dramatically enhance my training. I have been most impressed with this program because it works! I saw things on the DVD that took me years of trial and error on the streets to figure out. My favorite part of training is the confidence it has given me because I know it isn't "bravado." The key to this program is that it is a systematic program for training a serious subject that is hard to find.
LaVonne Hodgson, Santa Maria, California:
My training is progressing at a reasonable speed. Even if I just sit and watch the tapes I will have the moves ingrained in my muscle system and they will come out automatically; but of course I have not been just sitting. I am intensely training right along with the moves as you perform them on the video tapes. I am most impressed with how you demonstrate each move from different angles to show how effective the move can be from a gross motor movement technique. The best advantage since training with your materials has been the WWII Combat skills. These are indeed the most valuable quick-to-learn tools to have in your toolbox.
Billy Purdom, Rowlett, Texas:
I was the most impressed with all of the WWII era information and the way Captain Chris adds that to his methodology. I have started training with a 100 lb. bag and when I do a push or a mock chin jab it moves several feet. I enjoy the confidence that hitting the bag gives me. I have a new level of trust in being able to take care of myself and I have just started. I know with more practice I can only get better.

John Fritz, Menomonie, Wisconsin:

"The thing that I really like is knowing that there are other people like me that are fed up with sport karate wannabes... I love your attitude and dedication to true combat arts.""

Michael Randol, New Braunfels, Texas:

"I've always wanted to get through the nuts and bolts of what would work... I'm going to get my wife started on the disc for women."

David Nore, Ascot, Australia:

"The ABC system couldn't make hand-to-hand learning easier... For those one-percenters, you need the ABC system."

Luis Yebra, Sacramento, California:

"I was amazed by how simple it was to learn... There really ain't that many people out there doing this."

Sebastian Nazario, Fresno, California:

"After 30 years of studying many styles, I have found a system that really works... You changed the way I view the martial arts forever!"
