Check out the latest Youtube video in our new series showing what works and what doesn't in the martial arts: Defense Against Wrist Grab #2 Three popularly taught wrist grab escapes that are recipes for disaster. As we demonstrated previously with Wrist Grab #1 (see link below), instead of wrestling with your attacker's grip--chin jab to snap his neck, rip into his throat or gouge his eyes. This is your life we're talking about: this is no time for sportive, "politically correct" or fancy techniques that work only in the movies. Recognize any of these old favorites? 1. Yank your arm out through gap between his thumb and fingers. Not so easy if your attacker is bigger and stronger...as you might expect! 2. Knock his offending hand off your wrist...while he looks at you funny and punches you in the face. "You mean he's not going to just LET me knock his hand off?" 3. Super-cool arm bar/wrist lock reversal...that's funny--why isn't he falling down? What happened to all that "superior leverage" stuff? See all of our Martial Myths videos

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH LT COL RIDENHOUR IN THE SPRING ISSUE OF THE FORENSIC EXAMINER EXCLUSIVE FOR GUIDED CHAOS NEWSLETTER SUBSCRIBERS! Download the article     (Requires Adobe Reader) The Forensic Examiner® is the official peer-reviewed journal of the American College of Forensic Examiners International, the non-profit complementary division to the American College of Forensic Examiners Institute. On Al's first day: "Guided Chaos is the essence of what people expect to get, but often don’t receive when they study a martial art...I’ll cut to the chase here: Perkins basically let me try “anything” that I wanted on him, and he quickly showed me “what’s what!” None of my powerful athletic moves worked. At one point I could swear I saw him crack a wry smile right before blasting me in the chest. Once he allowed me to catch my breath, he then demonstrated the “Drop Punch” on me. I don’t know which was more humiliating: being so out of breath in such a short time, or getting the breath knocked out of me from being hit literally from no distance or with what John called the “No Inch Punch.” What I didn’t expect was what happened next. He let me work with some of the female students. For the sake of my dignity, let’s just say that the harder I tried to hit them, the more elusive they became which only fueled my anger, causing their strikes with their little hands and pointy shoes to hurt even more. Okay, now people will say in a “real” fight I could probably take them (maybe). However, there was no question in my mind that even if I was victorious they would have gotten a piece of me that I wasn’t getting back (especially some body parts I won’t mention). When people half my size and physical ability from John Perkins’ school could strike me at will with “penetrating force,” yet remain elusive to my own strikes, I knew I had found the right self-defense system. I knew there had to be something to it because what happened shouldn’t have." --Lt Col Al Read the entire article

AT THE GUIDED CHAOS BOOT CAMP...      TRAIN ON TWO LEVELS AT ONCE!      THE MOST COST-EFFICIENT AND PRACTICAL WAY   TO LEARN TRUE SURVIVAL SELF-DEFENSE: 1. Train Simple, Brutal Methods that can be mastered in weeks. 2. Train Advanced Methods that can take you to the highest levels in the shortest time.   Day 1 of the GC Boot Camp focuses on GC Combatives--Enhanced World War II Close Quarters Combat that will have you walking out THE SAME DAY with skills that can save your life. Day 2 of the GC Boot Camp introduces you to Guided Chaos, a modality of training for life-long learning that can take you to the highest levels of self defense in the shortest time possible by teaching you practical principles people search for in tai chi (and other internal styles) their entire lives and rarely if ever achieve. And forget the One-Inch Punch--Guided Chaos teaches the "No-Inch Punch." But the Boot Camp doesn't stop there... Day 3 of the GC Boot Camp teaches a form of Modified Native American Groundfighting that is radically different from MMA or any other "popular" grappling methods out there. GC Groundfighting is the "anti-grappling" ground fighting system, focusing on evasion, mobility, penetration, ground-kicking and survival. Day 4 of the GC Boot Camp teaches knife offense, defense, cane fighting vs. knives and gun defenses that are radically different from many of the popular, fake, flowery and inherently dangerous systems out there that could potentially get you killed or take risks that border on the suicidal. The Guided Chaos 4 Day Boot Camp, May 3-6, with a special additional 5th day of live Combat Shooting for permit holders only (separate fee applies) May 2nd. Buy 1,2,3 or all 4 days.   GROUP DISCOUNTS: Save $100 per person (for 3 or more people purchasing the full 4 or 5 day Boot Camp in one credit card order). $100/person will be rebated via Paypal within 48 hours after purchase).

"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."
---Bob Miller, Corrections Officer at the largest facility in Oregon

"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.

"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
