The training concentrates around a central core of Combat Jiu-Jitsu, enhanced with Grappling, Pugilism, Stick and Knife Fighting, which diversify into the specific requirements for Street Fighting and Self-Defence.

Associated and extraneous training methods and subjects are studied to underpin the main fighting matrix.
One key area is the continual scientific research and experimentation of fighting concepts, using empirical standards to attain results and subsequent conclusions, which lead and contribute to further development.

Fighting for real, is too dynamic and chaotic to be reduced to specific or prearranged actions, like traditional oriental type forms / katas. However, certain informal drills must be practiced to develop speed, strength and stamina etc., within the simple fighting matrix. When practicing the training drills, to understand the correct fighting attitude for realistic combat, you must practice with heart; the movements must be committed with enthusiasm, speed and energy. They cannot be made lightly, theoretically or just semi-fast (This will of course require safety apparel). The drills are only meant to be considered as fundamental, and are no substitute for all-out sparring practice, which is paramount. The drills are merely a learning tool, not an end in themselves.

The bottom line is that we want to become 'fighting experts' and not 'drill experts'.
The practice of fighting fundamentals and real fighting / sparring (supported by supplementary athletic training and conditioning), will after some time, lead the practitioner to develop an excellent degree of, fitness, functional skill and technical competency.
As ability increases, your own personality will start to surface, which will eventually, (with coaching), become a unique personal fighting expression. This concept leads the practitioners to think for themselves, and therefore shows the way to a means of self-discovery and personal development.

The above theory is a very important aspect of our training, in that although we all adhere to similar concepts and sciences, the product and presentation is different for each individual.

This instinctive free expression is generally against all the traditional oriental type martial arts, which do not advocate the practitioner to think for themselves, they in fact promote the practitioner to follow without question or analysis, to simply copy the instructor. This as a result, turns out clones of them.

To advance to the higher levels in any fighting system, you must always question, analyse and evaluate everything, and reach your own conclusions. This is a very western mind set, which is actively encouraged within the society.
Apparatus includes punch bags, speed balls, floor to ceiling balls, eye jab, and leg kicking machinery, focus gloves and kick pads, special training units, full range of boxing gloves, armour, head guards, sticks, knives and appropriate safety apparel.

Personal Training Program

A personal training program at different stages is designed for each practitioner. This includes training methods, technical skills and support drills, fighting strategies and continuous contact sparring and scenario training.
Sparring and scenario training will eventually reveal to us our ignorance and inadequacies, this in turn will educate us to utilise strategies, and develop attributes to overcome an opponent bent on our destruction.

The heat is on

No matter how rough the sparing gets, we always go home friends, black- eyes and all!

There are no weight categories in real fighting, the guy in white is about 6 stones lighter than his sparring partner.

Head butt to the gut, it all goes in!

The Street Fight

A street fight is certainly not what you will see portrayed in the movies or on TV, it is a dirty, messy scruffy occurrence, under-pinned with the worst language you could ever imagine. There are no referees to save you, and there are no rules to conform to, everything goes in a real street fight, from eye gouging, spitting, tearing, biting hair pulling, etc. This is the standard criterion, of your typical enemy of the 21st Century. To be able to deal with this situation, you have to train with a modern progressive and realistic approach.

The fight most often starts in your face, at punching or head butting range. Make no mistake about it you will have to condition yourself well for this scenario, and be prepared to hit first and hit hard! (This Whack em! First concept goes against all traditional martial art teachings. Wake up guys this is the real world!) If the thought of this offends you, this fighting science is not for you. The information taught is designed to be a total practical, functional Hand-to-Hand Combat training program, which will aid you in doing the job, which is dispatching your enemy, period!

Note: - (To have any chance while fighting you have to have a game plan strategy in mind, one that you are comfortable with and have practiced and can do effectively time and time again)
