Self-Defense for the everyday person. The use of modern tools for self defense. "Who are these people?"
Most of us are a lot like you. Like guns?
We offer an extremely realistic and versatile discipline of self-protection that includes an extensive variety of strikes, kicks, joint locks, pressure points, ground survival and disarming techniques. The result, is a practical comprehensive Self-Defense system that is enjoyable to learn and is truly effective in realistic situations. It is well suited for men and women of all ages and sizes, bec
ause physical strength and athletic abilities are not essential. We are teachers, doctors, law enforcement, military, moms, dads, brothers, sisters, athletes, and couch potatoes. We're a group of people that have an interest in Personal Safety but don't feel like dedicating their whole life to that pursuit. We are educated, intelligent people that prefer to train their minds as well as their bodies. We are instructors that have studied Japanese, Chinese, Indonesian styles. We teach military combatives, western martial arts, and law enforcement tactics. We teach knives, and sticks, and firearms, and flashlights. We are also, every single one of us, people who have felt trepidation at the first time we walked in to a martial arts school. We've been there, and felt that and will do our best so that you won't have to. What we are not is ego driven, machismo oozing, chip on the shoulder Neanderthals. We don't have anything to prove. Finally, and this is very important, we only want you to train with us if you WANT to train with us. We will not, and never have, have long term contracts to force you to be there. Stay as long as you like, learn as much as you can, and then when it's time for you to move on...we were glad to know you. Please keep all this in mind when you begin looking for a place to train and a place to spend both your money and your time. If you have any questions about what we do or how we do it, don't hesitate to contact us. We'd love to hear from you. WHY WE ROCK, AND WHY YOU SHOULD TRAIN WITH US
By navigating to this site you obviously have some desire to learn about your personal safety. You have many, many options for places that can teach you aspects of this. If you think that Self-defense is fighting then a great Mixed Martial Arts School is probably the thing for you. They'll teach you to punch and kick and grapple and to get punched and kicked and to grapple. I've got a link to a great Tactical Firearms Instructor. Want to learn to use a stick or a knife? Got another link for just that. If you want to know real fighting in the modern world, then I think that you need all of this. Now you have at least three different schools to teach you how to fight. But, who has time for all of this? Also, do you really want to fight? Or, would you rather be responsible for your safety?

Whew! A long but successful four days teaching in Phoenix. I taught private lessons. Small groups. Larger groups I was fortunate to get to teach for an army medical unit as well. Great times with even better people. Plus, I got to hook up with some old friends. Big thanks to Fionn for his amazing generosity and kindness.

“99% OF FIGHTS END UP ON THE GROUND”
That is true when you use MARTIAL BLADE CONCEPTS. We dont use hip throws, double leg takedowns, or complicated movements that require strength.
We use a COMMA CUT. Essentially, if the Bad Guys leg collapses they fall to the ground. If you remove the quadriceps ability to straighten under a load (ie to let them stand up) then they end up collapsing and you can run away. You can learn to do this, tomorrow. And more importantly, this technique is designed to be applied with a 3 in. Knife.
Come to class. Take responsibility for your safety. I have 12 classes a month. 3 a week. No more excuses come and have some fun.
