Those who choose to learn handgun skills do so because they realize that to stop violence it is necessary to have overwhelming stopping power. The same applies to unarmed self protection. Unfortunately  this is counter to other training that is available. Now, don’t get me wrong, Sport Fighting is great when you have a long period of time to face an attacker one on one, in an unobstructed, well lit, perfect temperature environment that has no uneven ground, no stairs, broken glass, metal or concrete edges or floors while wearing non-restrictive clothing. Sport Fighting is not designed to solve the problem in arctic or tropic environments where you risk hypothermia or heat stroke while you might be wearing clothes or carrying supplies that restrict your movement (soldiers face this problem everyday). Sport Fighting training is not designed to work when suddenly the lights go out and and two more attackers join in the attack. Additionally, traditional martial arts also fail in another huge way–the very idea that you must take yoru shoes or boots off to train and practice. Really? To train without shoes or boots is as stupid as learning how to snow ski by training in the Sahara desert. In contrast, it is our work with Zero Distance Warfare that allows us to approach  countering extreme violence in an empirical and scientific way that sport fighting and traditional martial arts cannot.  If you are interested in having violence ending stopping power and our approach, apply to see if you can qualify to work with us.
