THE WAIT IS OVER Not for Sport! "Dirty boxing" self-defense using conventional and illegal closed-hand strikes augmented by Guided Chaos principles. The best of 2 previous Combat Boxing seminars plus new material. Ricocheting, destructions, multi-hitting, hammerfists, backfists, "rabbit punches", scooping, clearing and much, much more for saving your life. Includes extensive training regimens combining both conventional boxing, closed-fist and elbow strikes, kicking and anti-grappling methods as well as some of the most comprehensive applications of Dropping Energy we've ever put on video. A jam-packed 3 hours and 20 minutes on 2 discs. Combat Boxing is just another tool in the Guided Chaos toolbox and doesn't replace anything. When you mix open-hand strikes, chops, ridge hands, gouging, punching, biting, flat fists, back fists, hammer fists, knees, feet, elbows; ground fighting, circular, linear, skimming, sliding, pivoting and folding strikes as well as hard and soft energy, you rain down a barrage of chaos on the criminal against which few random, patterned or technique-based defenses can survive. Your sensitivity guides your chaos and your targeting while simultaneously adapting your own defense moment-by-moment to whatever attack the enemy throws. This is why the ability to improvise through the sensing of energy and movement is critical.

"...WHAT WOULD I HAVE DONE?"     From John Farnam's DTIQUIPS

"... what would I have done?"   In the wake of the IHOP restaurant shooting in Carson City, NV on 6 Sept 11, as expected, much has been made of the fact that apparently no one in the restaurant at the time had a gun with which to repel/engage the criminal murderer.   Many have asserted that, "If I had been there, I would have ..."   With any luck, none making that speculative statement will ever know!   When one is armed and finds himself in, or on the fringes of, such a situation (as was actually the case with a person in a restaurant across the street), he has a choice of voluntarily inserting himself (perhaps with lethal force), or not.  The person in this case chose not to become personally involved.   When it is your turn, it will be your call, of course.   When directly, personally threatened, you may well have no choice.   That, of course, makes the deadly-force decision easy!   But, when you find yourself on the fringes, and not personally threatened (at least for the present), what is the "correct" thing to do?   There is no good, nor even satisfactory, answer!   Being armed, of course, provides you with more options than are available to the willfully unarmed.  Being armed thus represents a heavy responsibility.  Once you decide to "go forward," voluntarily inserting yourself into a situation in which you were not otherwise involved, the results cannot be undone!   Understand that a situation like this will not have any species of "happy ending," and, by your voluntarily participation, you will unavoidably inherit  some responsibility for the dependably bad outcome.   Still, your inner sense of right and wrong may demand that you take some action.   So, you have to ask yourself, "What do I really know?  What have I personally witnessed?  Is it possible that what is really taking place is not what it outwardly appears to be?  With what I have on me, and with where I am, can I reliably make this shot, and stop this apparent evil decisively?   Once you shoot someone, saying "Oops!" immediately afterward will not suffice to undo your decision!  While we never have all the information we would like, such a deadly-force decision still requires a heavy preponderance. That is why police officers, responding to gunshots,  usually hesitate before shooting the first armed person they see.  And, we are routinely criticized for not taking action sooner.  When we do take immediate action, we're criticized for not hesitating!   Again, "happy endings" have a thousand proud fathers, while bad outcomes are invariably orphans!  As mentioned above, the latter is, by far, the more likely of the two, no matter what you do, or chose not to do.   Either way, you'll likely second-guess yourself for the rest of your life, which we all sincerely hope is long and prosperous!   Pray you never have to test that theory!   "'One, with God, is always a majority,' or, so goes the platitude, but many  have been burned at the stake while votes were still being counted!"   Serious life and death mindset is what is always needed--whether training hand to hand or armed. --John Perkins DO YOU KNOW HOW TO DEFEND AGAINST A GUN? MORE IMPORTANTLY-- DO YOU KNOW WHEN--AND WHEN NOT TO? BARE HANDS TO HAND GUNS PART 4 OF THE GUIDED CHAOS WEAPONS SERIES DVDS 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. MORE INFO

"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

"...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
