VIEWER COMMENTS ON THE NEW TIM CARRON
CONTACT FLOW WORKSHOP DVD...

"I'm on my second runthrough of the Grandmaster Tim Carron DVD. Here are a few
   more observations:

1). Tim seems to be a big proponent of closest hand to closest target. He maneuvers his
   limbs so that they're within inches of his partner so when he strikes there's no chance
   for the opponent to get out of the way.

2). Tim is a movement amplifier. In the process of pulsing he takes any movement that the partner give him and slingshots it into the opponent. Don't have the attackproof book on me but this might be the yin yang generator concept that is described. He's using his opponent's tendency to fight the pulse. In addition I wonder whether that small pulse locks his opponent's consciousness onto where that contact is for a fraction of a second, allowing him to slip into the gap and strike.

I actually did this to a rudimentary degree when sparring for my belt test the other day. Working with a much older gentleman, and I turned it into an exercise almost like what is seen in the DVD. Many times I'd send in something knowing that he'd do a hard block. I'd just stay loose, carry the momentum of the block around and strike somewhere else. Difference is Tim is doing it far more often and almost automatically without any conscious thought.

3). Much of the time Tim isn't really looking at his partner. He's just going by pressure and feel.

4). Every millisecond the partner spends completely on defense is time that the opponent is not concentrating on taking you down. It seems that many of the people who Tim is working with is spending a significant amount of time trying not to get hit by tim, or trying to figure out where tim is going to come from next. Gives Tim some breathing room. One of the exceptions I saw was Killeen who was actively on the attack a significant portion of the time. While Tim landed quite a few strikes on her, at least some of the time he was at least forced to think defensively for short periods. Dunno whether he was kinda taking it a bit easier on her so she could concentrate on attacking or not..."

BOXER, ATTACKED IN PRISON, USES GUIDED CHAOS TO FIGHT BACK...
Real account by a corrections officer trained in GC.
Names and locations withheld by request.

"As a corrections officer at a major facility in the U.S. I was assigned in mid-2009 to work a mentally disabled inmate section. I had been preparing for my first amateur boxing competition which was to take place later that month. There was a lot on my mind that day. I was visualizing my bout. I didn't know if I was going to be boxing a south-paw, orthodox, boxer, slugger, aggressive fighter and so on.

        That day, I was getting ready to call my unit to the evening meal. There was an inmate in cell X. He was a man in his 40's. He's approximately 6'1", 200 lbs. He had a long history of getting into fights with other inmates. He's a quiet inmate. One that never gave me any problems. Inmate X was always the last guy out of my unit every time I sent the unit to chow. That day I called him down from his cell. I asked X if he was going to chow and he replied yes. I said that he could have a seat in the dayroom, that way when the unit went to chow he'd be one of the first ones to be let out. He looked at me with a dazed look and went back up to his cell. Moments later, the call came over the radio to let the unit out to chow. I opened all 40 doors at the same time. All 70 or so inmates exited the unit for chow. Suddenly, I heard Inmate X yelling at the top of his lungs as he walked down the tier yelling all kinds of nasty obscenities. At first I couldn't figure out if he was yelling at myself or another inmate. As X stood at the top of the tier, he was looking right at me and still yelling at the top of his lungs. At that moment it dawned on me that he was yelling at me. I quickly moved my office chair in case he made a mad dash into the Officer's Station. X walked past me giving me the look as if he wanted to kill me. I then called for back up on the radio to assist with X.

        I followed Inmate X outside of the unit. I ordered Inmate X to face the wall. X had both fists clenched with his chest protruding outwards looking as if he was ready to fight. I again ordered X to face the wall but nothing was getting through to him. As X came into my personal space, I didn't even think once. To put it in a nut shell, I reacted with what I had been taught in a Guided Chaos/Close Combat class. It wasn't the countless hours I spent in the gym working the hooks, uppercuts, or the ones or two's or the countless combinations on the heavy bag. None of my boxing skills that I had been doing for well over 10 years even came into play. It was the Guided Chaos that dropped Inmate X to the ground in one motion that saved me. X didn't even know what hit him. It was over just like that. Violent encounters with inmates are always going to happen. The question is when. Thank you for teaching what you do. Guided Chaos is beyond a shadow of a doubt the best stuff out there. It just goes to show that anything can happen, anytime anywhere."
