Our Philosophy

We aren't so concerned with belts and traditions, in fact, we are not concerned with them at all. What we are concerned with is teaching real people how to survive real situations. Asocial violence is all around us; violent crimes such as rape, assault, home invasion, car jacking, muggings, etc. are on the news nightly. Chances are you know more than one person who has had one of these crimes happen to them.

I personally believe that every law abiding citizen should know how to defend themselves, their loved ones and other innocent people. As Edmund Burke famously said, "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

My instructor Paul Vunak back in the late 80s showing the difference
between sport and traditional martial arts vs. street effective survival.

3. A weapons fight

Within those 3 types of fights you have various scenarios such as multiple attackers, the sucker punch, an violent drunk, home invasion, car jacking, rape/assault, etc.

Some of the topics we cover are:

The easiest way to stop wild swinging punches and kicks

How to beat someone with a knife or a club
How to find and use weapons of opportunity to defend yourself
Realistic ways to disarm a gun wielding assailant
The realities of asocial violence and how to counter them

Degrees of aggression, how to deal with a drunk agitator versus a violent attacker.
I will teach the same systems that Paul Vunak teaches to the Navy's SEAL Team Six and law enforcement agencies around the country
