GUIDED CHAOS NEWS #128:

GET READY: 3RD UK SEMINAR MAY 8-9 2010 AT UNITY MARTIAL ARTS ACADEMY

NOW ON SALE:
CONTACT FLOW WORKSHOP WITH GRANDMASTER TIM CARRON
If you've ever had a private lesson with Grandmaster Tim Carron you know how unique and
devastating his contact flow is. Follow along as John Perkins' top student works one-on-one
with many of our black belts at a private Contact Flow Workshop we held in early 2009.
Tim's precision, economy of motion and sensitivity are real eye-openers, and his personal
expression of the art looks different than GC creator John Perkin's (even though the principles
are the same) making this DVD an invaluable training tool for advanced practitioners.
The reason we say this is because unless you've worked with him or at least have a strong
foundation in Guided Chaos you won't really be able to appreciate what you're seeing.
For you Wing Chun practitioners, you might be interested in knowing that Tim's contact flow

has been said by non-GC practitioners to look like "Wing Chun on steroids"--although it is not.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a raw, unproduced DVD with no explanations. The sound quality is low
and there is some static and background noises.

OUR NEWSLETTER ARCHIVES IS GROWING AGAIN...
See all the great issues you missed! A fantastic resource of GC and self defense info.

TRAINING FOR REALITY
reprinted courtesy of John Farnam

Folks,

Take this to heart. This was emailed to me by my friend John Farnum.
He is a trainer for many years and teaches people for the worst situations
mostly with handguns. Not a hand to hand instructor but very knowledgeable
in shooting. He conveys my core belief that training MUST be as real as
possible. Few people know how to prepare students for REALITY.
One must first experience reality to develop methods that work during
a real chaotic episode. Most people who have been in battle don't have
the knowledge to develop a training regimen that works in CHAOS. We Do.

Thanks, John Perkins

Training comments, from a retired USN commander, and one of our
Instructors:

"After years of running emergency drills on US Naval vessels, I learned
(mostly the hard way) a few vital Principles of Training.

In a real emergency, our students will invariably rise to the level of
their training- not their, nor our, expectations! So, the more painful,
relevant, hard, and emotional our training, the better we respond when bad
things happen.

As an example, when fire breaks out inside a submerged submarine (something
that happens alot more often than is ever reported) visibility degrades
to near-zero, usually in less than a minute. Yet, we routinely trained in
bright light, and could not turn off the lights, due to the need to operate
the reactor-plant safely.

One of my sharp, young sailors suggested stuffing the inside of our
emergency air-breathing apparatus with black trash-can liners, in order to
simulate low visibility, and bad air. We did it that way, and quickly, unhappily
discovered that our previous training had been utterly inadequate. Our
first drill, thus encumbered, was a fair imitation of a Three-Stooges movie!

I began to realize precisely what you emphasize in Classes: Good training
is ever scary, demanding, and makes you feel inadequate and stupid. When
you finish and 'feel good about it,' you probably weren't pushing yourself
hard enough. Learning takes place when you fail, not when you succeed!

Thus, any training worthy of the name is going to be both frustrating and '
dangerous,' no matter what safety procedures are in place. But, failing
to train is even more dangerous, and the consequences ever appalling and
irrevocable. Ask any commander who has lost a battle!

And, failing to train because those in charge are more worried about their
next promotion than the lives of their crew-members, is criminal!"

Comment: Naive "administrators" about whom we're talking fully expect a
chocolate cake to emerge when they dump together vinegar and baking soda, and
are astonished when it doesn't happen!

"We promise according to our hopes, and perform according to our fears."
