One of my greatest satisfactions is getting feedback like below. Failure in combat SPORT can be DISAPPOINTING, however failure in combat can be DEADLY.
"Two youths started a fight at my local shopping centre today. Security were fighting a losing battle trying to separate and control them, and as I was running in, one of them produced a knife. I managed a Kinetic IA and takedown, into High Cross Domination. A fellow off-duty officer then jumped in and we were able to maintain control until security, then ultimately more police, helped us out. I’m only at Tan Belt level [in KEF–IC], but this stuff works!”
Thanks to KEF-IC trainee and officer Constable McKinnon for your feedback.

It's always nice to kick off a week with good feedback — thanks to KEF student and officer Constable McKinnon for the report.

This book is by the Kinetic Fighting Subject Matter Expert on the body language of violence, Matthew Wann, and published by KEF. I have been on some of Matt's courses, he was trained by the FBI's leading body language expert and is very good at this, as well as an expert witness in assault cases.
