IMAGINE THIS:    SPRING 2012:          GUIDED CHAOS TOTAL IMMERSION VACATION/BOOT CAMP        4 DAYS OF NO-HOLDS-BARRED TRAINING Touching on the Entire GC System at an all-inclusive resort IN ST. THOMAS, U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS   4 FULL SEMINARS IN ONE PACKAGE     --DAY 1: COMPLETE GUIDED CHAOS COMBATIVES  Simple, quick and deadly, this is what you learn first. There are other World War II combative systems out there.  Some are authentic and some are watered-down MacDojo nonsense. The best of these derive from the simple, effective techniques created for U.S. soldiers in World War II and used in thousands of documented police and military conflicts. John Perkins has enhanced these methods with principles from the more advanced Guided Chaos. Understand that the original Close Quarters Combat developed by Colonel Rex Applegate, William Donovan and members of the OSS was lethal all by itself (it was devised because of a perceived inadequacy in our troops' Hand-to-Hand training compared to that of Japanese Soldiers schooled in Judo and Karate. This led to a training overhaul by our own military in the late 1930's and used in countless close engagements against Japanese troops in World War II.) Guided Chaos Combatives is just the first level of Guided Chaos. It teaches you the basic weaponry in a short period of time. See our Guided Chaos Combatives book for seminar topics. --DAY 2: INTRO TO GUIDED CHAOS (The 5 GC Principles, drills and intro to Contact Flow)  The fastest way to learn internal principles for combat. Guided Chaos is a unique style of martial art created in 1978 by ex-cop and homicide investigator John Perkins. Instead of rigid techniques or rules-based sport fighting, Guided Chaos prepares you for real violence by teaching adaptability so you can spontaneously create your defense using natural principles of energy, movement and physics. There's nothing mystical about these principles and they are, in fact, quite ancient. Nevertheless, virtually no one teaches them anymore--and no one teaches them the way we do. --DAY 3: GUIDED CHAOS GROUNDFIGHTING / DEEPER CONTACT FLOW TRAINING   Modified Native American Groundfighting: unlike any other groundfighting system available / How to condense 20 years of tai chi training into a super-fast learning system. We emphasize principles of evasion and sensitivity that dictate you NOT attempt to control, grapple, lock up or otherwise directly engage the enemy (this leaves you vulnerable to multiple attackers). GCGF is not a sport. There's no "sparring" or point-fighting. You learn to fight ONLY to save your life. We teach reactive freedom, so that your body snakes and slithers from control, like the way a mongoose or enraged alley cat moves. This is counter to most grappling philosophies. We teach free-flowing sledgehammer kicks from the ground that look like breakdancing--but are deadly serious, along with strikes to the eyes and throat with no controlling or submission moves or counter-moves. The last thing you need is to tie up with a bigger and stronger attacker. --Day 4: GUIDED CHAOS WEAPONS (Knife, Cane and Gun defenses)  What works, what doesn't; when and when NOT to fight. From the military to civilians and even the police-- knife, gun and stick fighting is often taught unrealistically. Based on the brutal, bloody, forensic homicide research of former detective John Perkins plus Perkins' over 100 seriously violent arrests, this training separates film fantasy from forensic fact and dojo delusions from real combat. GC provides effective methods based on actual combat while exposing popular gun disarms and flowery stick and knife defenses that can get you killed. Check out the Guided Chaos Weapons Series DVDs topic index for subjects to be covered in the seminar. .   Sunday: Fly to St. Thomas Virgin Islands (3 hours non-stop from NY). Check in at beach side resort with pool, snorkling, jet-skiing, fishing etc. Monday-Thursday: Wake up with everything at your fingertips: Gym, pool, breakfast, etc. GC training runs from 9am-3pm; rest of the day hang out on the beach, hike, snorkel, whatever. After 3pm, attendees may schedule private 1 hour lessons with the Masters. By offering ALL our seminars in one total immersion retreat as part of a vacation package, people will get the best bang for their buck and most efficient use of their time. Bring your significant other!--St.Thomas has great shopping--and get both amazing training and a great vacation! FIGHT, SWIM, SNORKEL, REPEAT. INTERESTED? In order to make this amazing event happen, we need to start gauging people's interest ASAP! Please give us your feedback and tell us if this is something you would do...      QUESTION: For those of you who would join us, how many would be interested in a 5th day comprised exclusively of intense Contact Flow training?

BLITZ MAGAZINE EXCLUSIVE REVIEW OF GC AUSTRALIA SEMINAR  Australia's #1 Martial Arts magazine                  See all Seminar Reviews

"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 Aug. print edition of Blitz Martial Arts Magazine volume 25, issue 6 on news stands now in Australia] Read more excerpts
