WOULD A GUN HAVE SAVED YOU?
BRITISH SOLDIER BEHEADED BY ISLAMIC TERRORISTS
...PERHAPS NOT!
"Matt: A Muslim terrorist in London, carrying his murder weapons openly, his hands covered with the blood of his victim who was repeatedly stabbed and had his head severed just moments before, casually explains to the cameraman that he was completely justified in what he just did moments before. It's surreal.

I live in Florida, and am now thinking of getting a handgun, where it's legal. But I wonder if a handgun would have helped this man. If two strong and physically able men attack you out of the blue with big knives and cleavers, it seems to me that it would be very difficult to get a gun out in time."

A gun is a great tool but as LtCol Al says, a $1000 hammer won't make you a carpenter. You need to learn bare-hands to handgun skills, essentially learning to fight hand-to-hand to gain space, draw, and instinctively point shoot while diving off line and on the run. Traditional 2-handed target shooting skills that even most cops learn will get you killed because of the 21 foot rule: you can't get a gun out and use it effectively against a person running at you from less than 21 feet.
(See this old video by Dan Inosanto. We don't advocate his defensive methods but the distance issues are spot on).

We will be releasing a series of 6 articles and videos on contact/combat gun fighting in the near future as well as offering instruction on Contact/Combat gunfighting in NY that addresses all these issues and many more. Stay tuned...

In the meantime, we highly recommend the GC Weapons Series Video Part 4: Bare-hands to Handguns which is packed with gun defense info including the popularly taught  self defense myths that can get you killed (available as a
DVD or On Demand Download--both on sale right now for 20% off until May 30th).

"This Ain't Your Daddy's Iron Palm Bag!"
 GUIDED CHAOS™ BRANDED SLAMBAGS 
Develop accurate, crushing, hand power for strikes and gouges
"As soon as I began using it, I was HOOKED! ...I have long practiced grasping/striking activities against heavy bags and using different hand grips - round balls, piston push grips, etc. However, the Slam bag supersedes ALL of these in my opinion. It does it ALL and more. Just passing it from left to right hands and clawing it - either sideways or pancake style helps create strength and coordination...I even surprised myself at how overwhelmed I was as soon as I started using it." --David H. Smith, Student of Professor Bradley Steiner
 
Instead of "toughening" your hands with a typical iron palm bag and possibly developing painful arthritis as well as thick, ugly, useless callouses, why not turn your hand strikes into "smart bombs" so that all your chops, punches, gouges, rips and tears explode with devastating crushing power and dead-on, free-form timing and accuracy! (The most overlooked qualities in hand weapon development). The Guided Chaos method of strike training using Dropping Force greatly improves hand strength, timing, balance, and sudden impact power while simultaneously developing your tissue and tendon strength without creating ugly and useless "makiwara" callouses. Get your tough, tan, double-stitched cowhide SLAMBAG with the GC logo hot-branded on both sides and start hitting like a jackhammer.

KILL THE ENEMY: 
 
CLOSE QUARTERS COMBAT

FOR U.S. MILITARY PERSONNEL


"The Kill the Enemy video is the greatest work of modern combat of our time!

In the dirty bloody world of real combat there are no second place winners. In combat there is only Kill and come home. John trains you for just such an encounter. There is nothing in the world that can ever prepare you for the harsh cold reality of combat, but John Perkins has found a way to bridge the gap between school and real world no-holds-barred REALITY!"


--Captain Jonathan Edwards, 101st Airborne/Air Assault
POLITICALLY INCORRECT
HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT...?
 
In 1989, the RUSSIANS instituted a hand-to-hand combat methodology that far surpassed ours in terms of SIMPLICITY and EFFECTIVENESS. Ironically, it was nearly IDENTICAL to the system OUR military used--BACK IN WORLD WAR II!! WHAT HAPPENED?!!

Through a political process too convoluted and distressing to elaborate on here, over the years, our soldiers' hand-to-hand training has become convoluted, mis-directed, and relatively ineffective except under "sportive  or "competitive" (i.e. unrealistic) conditions.

KILL THE ENEMY is a simple video guide that does away with the boxing-grappling-locking nonsense that has become the "politically correct" standard of training for our soldiers in recent years. Instead of subjecting our military personnel to methods that could get them killed, Master Perkins and Lieutenant Colonel Ridenhour USMC provide basic, effective methods proven in World War II. Distilled from Part 1 of our book ATTACK PROOF, these strategies (Guided Chaos Combatives) are the basic tools that John Perkins' Guided Chaos builds upon. Topics include:

    Comparison: US vs. Russian Hand-to-Hand Training
    The Myth of Grappling
    Defensive/Offensive Posture
    Basic Hand Strikes
    Bag/Dummy Training/10 Seconds of Hell
    Wrestling the Rifle
    Covering Your Back
    A Fantasy Knife Fight
    Rear Choke Scenarios
    Ground Fighting Fantasies
    Conclusion: History Doesn't Lie!

 CAN YOU SURVIVE ON THE GROUND?
 
The Fantasy:

A 100 pound woman can fight off a 200 pound man from the Guard position (much less mount him for a "ground and pound"!)
...ARE YOU SURE?
 
• Do you really want to be locked tight to a dangerous enemy-- who may have weapons or accomplices ready to kick your brains in?

• Do you really want to Mount or go into the Guard position against someone bigger and stronger than you?

• If you're a woman, can you REALLY grapple with a stronger man...and live to tell about it?

There is a world of difference between competitive submission fighting with rules and elite athletes...and real, life-and-death self-defense for REGULAR people, where the only rule is chaos.

DON'T BET YOUR LIFE ON A SPORT!

The built-in restrictions on your training could short-circuit your reactions and get you killed when the spit hits the fan.
GUIDED CHAOS GROUNDFIGHTING:
MODIFIED NATIVE AMERICAN COMBAT


DOWNLOAD or 2 DISC DVD SET

We focus on:

• Evasion
• Ground Mobility
• Ground Kicking
• Ground Avoidance
• Multiple Attackers
• Knife Attacks
• Penetrating defenses and striking to the eyes and throat

OUR CRITICS SAY:

 
"We can hit the eyes and throat too, so what's the difference?"


The difference is that we're better at it--as well as defending against it, because both require Sensitivity and Adaptation--something we train exclusively.
YOUR INSTRUCTORS:

Former forensic crime scene expert John Perkins:

Perkins has trained in Native American "Anything Goes" fighting principles since the age of 5. Over a period of 20 years he combined it with experience gained from over 100 extremely violent arrests (where people routinely ended up in the hospital or morgue), unsanctioned pit-fighting, World War II Close Quarters Combat, the internal aspects of tai chi and the ancient Greek combat art of Elephtheri Pali. In 1978, he formally created Ki Chuan Do and the principles of Guided Chaos [in1998 he officially changed the name of the art itself to Guided Chaos]. Unlike the "fight-by-the-numbers" self-defense methods popular today, the Groundfighting component of GC is probably unlike anything you've ever seen before.
Iraq and Afghanistan combat veteran,
Lt. Col. Al Ridenhour USMC
:

Infantry unit commander and instructor of unarmed combat, he is also a Guided Chaos Master. Security Manager, Assistant Operations Officer, and the Anti-Terrorism Force Protection Officer for the II Marine Expeditionary Force in Iraq.

A HAND GUN IS
USELESS

 ...IF YOU CAN'T GET IT OUT!


 BARE-HANDS TO HAND GUNS 

...PART 4 OF THE GUIDED CHAOS WEAPONS SERIES

You can be the best target shooter in the world but if you can't fight HAND-TO-HAND at CLOSE RANGE you will never even GET to your gun. Worse, you could be shot with your own weapon! And if you get the microsecond to draw, traditional Isosceles or Weaver stances could get you killed.

Blitz magazine article on Guided Chaos Australia Seminar:

"Let me start by saying I thought I'd seen all that the world of 'reality-based self defence' had to offer, so for the easily bored out there, I'll cut to the chase. What I witnessed on the weekend of 26 and 27 March is the closest thing I've come across that resembles a modern-day, reality-based martial art and not just another 'combatives system'. Does it work? Hell, yeah! I got my arse well and truly kicked and at times felt like I was in the middle of a Jason Bourne fight scene."
--Clive Girdham, former Senshido and Geoff Thompson instructor

[Excerpted from the exclusive review of the Guided Chaos Australia Seminar in the Aug. print edition of BLITZ MAGAZINE: Australia's #1 Martial Arts magazine volume 25, issue 6
"Guided Chaos is the only training in my 15 plus years of Corrections that translates into real world application, period."

"Guided Chaos is the only thing that has worked for me in real life
situations. Unless you are 6'3" and 285 lbs of muscle, most of the
Defensive Tactics stuff (ok all of the Defensive Tactics stuff) will get
you hurt. And even if you are that big and strong, there is always
someone bigger and stronger and there may be a lot of them. Nothing like
dealing with one guy and it turns into a free for all with all his
buddies. This is where you literally need to 'adapt or die' and Guided
Chaos is the only training in my 15 plus years of Corrections that
translates into real world application, period."
---Bob Miller, Corrections Officer at the largest facility in Oregon
"If I had to pick only one martial arts system in the world it would be Guided Chaos..."--Dr. Robert L. O'Block founder and publisher of the American College of Forensic Examiners International, American Board for Certification in Homeland Security
 

"...through watching videos put out by attackproof.com, and by
reading Attackproof, the book, I have learned real survival skills.
These skills have been learned...at an exponentially higher practical
yield-per-hour training rate than any other martial art classes or
seminar I've ever attended, or ever even heard rumor of."

--Matthew Shoener, Police Officer, Scranton, PA


"The Companion Video Part One is stupendous!

A godsend of detail for out-of-state practitioners."
--Mark from Chicago
