'Street Tough' Combat Jiu-Jitsu was a natural and progressive development from methods and material I received over the last 29 years, following experiences and training in Judo / Jiu-Jitsu, Karate, Aikido, Pugilism, Grappling, Stick and Knife Fighting. This was necessary to fulfil individual requirements for real Hand-to-Hand Combat, which by its chaotic nature is multi faceted and can assume all ranges of combat, both armed and unarmed.

No one art gave the definitive truth in combat, however some did produce common fundamentals and concepts, which started to materialize. After many years of analysing and experimenting with different fighting methods and concepts, using pragmatic standards, measured against the performance criteria, required by real all out Hand-to-Hand Combat, the science, which I latter called 'Street Tough', started to emerge.

Some elements of fighting arts studied and practiced, provided a functional source of information, while others came up with minimal useful solutions, proving to abstract in their nature.

This process of evaluation and analysis (which is still going on) provided a constant learning curve and path of self-discovery with subsequent personal mastery.
'Street Tough' can therefore be defined as: -

Rough and Tumble, Anything Goes, Street Fighting / Self-Defence - Combat Science.

Therefore, the sporting aspects are not followed neither are choreographed movements, exotic or esoteric customs practiced. 'Street Tough' differs from traditional oriental counterparts in many ways, for example, there is no formal uniform, constitution or hierarchy, it is concerned only with functional fighting as opposed to philosophical intangibles.

The ultimate objective of training is to prepare practitioners, mentally and physically to bash up bullies and fight for their lives.
It is interesting to note that the Hopology Society defines a 'Combat Method' as:

The training methods advocated are modern and progressive and geared to realistic combat, as far as is reasonably practicable.
