With Unarmed Close Combat And Self-Defense |
| REPRINTED WITH PERMISSION FROM JULY 2016 EDITION OF
|
| It
doesn't get more hard core and ruthless than Brad Steiner's American
Combato. As one of the few Reality-based systems that John Perkins
endorses, we like to post Brad's articles from time to time. This one
really nails some hard truths and I have emphasized a few with additional
commentary. Enjoy...
--Matt K. |
| "We
thought it would be interesting to juxtapose the "rules" that rigidly
dominate the MMA ("no rules"?????) and the UFC ("no rules"?????) with
the realities OF AUTHENTIC INDIVIDUAL CLOSE COMBAT AND WORTHWHILE
SELF-DEFENSE. In our opinion both of these closely-related forms of
fad-fighting have ruined quality martial arts/self-defense/close combat
training everywhere they have been accepted.
Directly from an
MMA web site we listed all of the forbidden actions and techniques that
must be omitted, and we have provided below each our comments that you
might find helpful in clarifying why any and all "match fighting sport
skills" have no place in preparing for real combat. |
| {NOTE: EVERYTHING WRITTEN IN ITALICS IS PROF STEINER'S COMMENTARY.
Everything in bold is from their web site}
[Everything in blue is Matt Kovsky's additional commentary]
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The following acts constitute FOULS in a contest or exhibition of mixed martial arts and may result in PENALTIES, at the discretion of the referee, if committed:
1. Butting with the head
This is a superb technique applicable in and from a wide number of situations —— front, side, and rear. [There are correct and incorrect ways of doing head-butting. See the Attackproof Companion Part 1 for details]
2. Eye gouging of any kind
Yes! using thumbs or other digits, or any object-at-hand (pen, pencil, knife, stick, screwdriver, small rock, fork, chopstick, piece of glass, etc.) vicious, powerful attacks to the eyes are tops on the “DO IT!” list in close combat. [Environmental weapons and a detailed defense using an ordinary pen (never a "Combat Pen"--ask your lawyer!) can be found on the Attackproof Companion Part 1 ]
3. Biting
First thing to do if you ever end up on the ground with an assailant.
[Biting is devastating when you are close in and locked to the enemy with your teeth near exposed flesh. Ideally if you feel you're falling, try to get to the ground first and launch yourself away from the enemy with your legs as you fall so you can get your boots on him and keep your head away from his feet. Guided Chaos' Modified Native American Groundfighting is completely different from MMA. It's vicious, wild and ruthless and turns you into a raging Tasmanian Devil on the ground :-) ]
4. Spitting at an opponent
Good tactic. May be difficult to generate saliva though in an actual emergency. However,if you’re eating take a mouthful of coffee, water, etc. and spit in troublemaker’s face. We ardently oppose tobacco in ANY form; but if you chew tobacco, well . . .
5. Hair pulling
Good and exposes throat or aids in executing a takedown or throwing the opponent (down stairs, out a window, etc.). Most adversaries will have hair so USE IT!
6. Fish hooking
Great action when close in. Exposes neck to biting! Assists in breaking neck. We use in American Combato to facilitate certain throws. [Brad's training is superb and shares many similarities with Guided Chaos Combatives]
7. Groin attacks of any kind
. . . are immensely effective. Attack to crush, squeeze, hit, pound TESTICLES.
8. Putting a finger into any orifice or any cut or laceration of an opponent
Jamming your finger up an enemy’s nose is a great tactic (taught to commandos in WWII).
9. Small joint manipulation
Seizing, twisting, and breaking fingers should be done instantly when the opportunity presents itself.
10. Striking downward using the point of the elbow
Excellent technique. Use against kidneys, Nape of neck, skull. Effective in certain tackle countering actions. [Elbow striking is under-trained in many systems. You need to learn how to hit hard and fast with the elbow from at least 9 different directions. See the "Anywhere Striking Drills" in the Guided Chaos Combatives and Attackproof Companion Part 1 DVDs or Downloads]
11. Striking to the spine or the back of the head
Precisely where you should strike —— with elbow, handaxe, hammerfist, heel of foot, depending upon opportunity.
12. Kicking to the kidney with a heel
Do without hesitation if you drop a lethally attacking opponent to the deck.
[Kicking is a lot simpler and more savage than is depicted in most highly stylized and sportive styles. See the "Multi-kicking" and "Mexican Hat Dance" drills in the Guided Chaos Combatives and Attackproof Companion Part 1 DVDs or Downloads]
13. Throat strikes of any kind, including, without limitation, grabbing the trachea
These are FIRST RESORT actions in a self-defense emergency.
[Listen to Brad! It is UNBELIEVABLY and CRIMINALLY NEGLIGENT how SO MANY high profile systems teach obviously smaller and weaker men and women to "break" a grab or lock with some fancy, complex, choreographed counter-grab or "release" move. Rip into the eyes and throat!]
14. Clawing, pinching or twisting the flesh
Often effective when opening and opportunity occurs.
[Guided Chaos Slam Bag training not only increases your hitting speed and power, it also develops your ripping, clawing and gouging force. See the Attackproof Companion Part 1, Combat Conditioning and Slam Bag Training DVDs]
15. Grabbing the clavicle
Do it! Excellent action; used in one of American Combato’s attack combinations.
16. Kicking the head of a grounded opponent
Should be automatically done when escape from the scene of a dangerous attack is not yet feasible, after downing the enemy.
[Make sure you get your story right if interviewed by the Police. Only 2 things are acceptable: "I thought I was going to die!" or even better: "Please talk to my lawyer". Otherwise, keep your mouth shut! Make sure you actually have a criminal defense attorney on speed dial on your phone. Get a referral now.]
17. Kneeing the head of a grounded opponent
See comment following #16, above.
18. Stomping a grounded opponent
See comment following #16, above.
19. Holding the fence
If on staircase hold the handrail and kick your attacker or/and ram fingers into his eyes, otherwise attack him while holding onto handrail (“fence”) for stability, security, and balance.
[Guided Chaos offers a complete "Stair Fighting" chapter in our book Attackproof 2nd edition]
20. Holding the shorts or gloves of an opponent
This is a 100% contest-applicable “foul”. However, like anything and everything else, NEVER “banned” in real hand-to-hand close combat or personal defense. We can’t imagine an attacker wearing gloves(!), but if attacked on the beach and seizing his shorts will assist your defense —— DO IT!
21. Using abusive language in fenced ring/fighting area
Insane, wild cursing, growling, yelling, and grimacing can be very helpful in a self-defense encounter; you should NEVER hesitate to use it in the extreme.
[Without developing a "kill-or-be-killed" Warrior's Mindset your chances of surviving violence are greatly diminished. Practice the "Fear Meditation" from our books Attackproof and "How to Fight for Your Life" and in the Attackproof Companion Part 1 and read the sections on Warrior's Mindsetting]
22. Engaging in any unsportsmanlike conduct that causes injury to an opponent
Add this to the rule: “ . . . is highly desirable and should be done with all of the speed, power, accuracy, and mental focus of which you are capable.” The fouler, dirtier, more unsporting and unethical THE BETTER!
23. Attacking an opponent on or during the break
Feigning injury and surrender — if you think that it will be believed — and then attacking without mercy or restraint would be the practical equivalent of using this “banned” MMA action. There are no “breaks” in a combat encounter (except possibly of bones).
24. Attacking an opponent who is under the care of the referee
There are no referees in close combat or defense emergencies. Nor is there any round TWO!
25. Attacking an opponent after the bell has sounded the end of the round
See comment to #24, above.
26. Timidity, including, without limitation, avoiding contact with an opponent, intentionally or consistently dropping the mouthpiece or faking an injury
All of this may be valuable and useful to MISDIRECT and DECEIVE an enemy. Then destroy him. In the real world: Feign illness, fear, compliance, confusion, and plead that you have a weak heart, etc. Then attack with murderous fury! [This is especially important in mugging and abduction scenarios. NEVER, EVER GO TO CRIME SCENE #2! See our 7 Scenario Training in the Guided Chaos Combatives DVD, and feigned illness prior to attack in the Knife Defense and Bare Hands to Handguns DVDs or Downloads].
27. Throwing opponent out of ring/fighting area
There are no “rings” or specified “fighting areas” where real hand-to-hand combat is concerned. THROW YOUR ENEMY INTO TRAFFIC IF YOU CAN! Or down a flight of stairs, or off a roof, or out a window, etc. [Make
sure you get your story right if interviewed by the Police. Only 2
things are acceptable: "I thought I was going to die!" or even better:
"Please talk to my lawyer". Otherwise, keep your mouth shut! Make sure
you actually have a criminal defense attorney on speed dial on your
phone. Get a referral now.]
28. Flagrantly disregarding the instructions of the referee
See comment under #24.
29. Spiking an opponent to the canvas on his head or neck
THIS IS THE WAY TO THROW A MAN IF YOU ARE USING A THROW IN REAL COMBAT!
30. Interference by the corner
There are no “corners” in a street attack, or on the battlefield.
31. Applying any foreign substance to the hair or body to gain an advantage
Do anything you can do to give yourself every advantage possible —— and use it in the most deceitful, foul, underhanded manner you can."

| Can I learn how to fight for my life in 1 weekend?
Guided Chaos is the fastest way to learn how to fight for your life for 2 reasons:
1. It gives you simple tools [Guided Chaos Combatives] you can put to use immediately if heaven forbid you had to defend your life the minute you walked out the door. Nasty, ugly, brutal gutter fighting--just what you need against a thug, sociopath or rapist. While it can take as long as 6 weeks of hard practice to perfect the "simpler tools" of Guided Chaos Combatives, you only need 1 weekend to learn easy stuff that can save your life if you're attacked right now.
2. Guided Chaos provides you with a training methodology that can take you to the highest levels of mastery in the shortest period of time, without digression, formality or esoteric nonsense. While #2 can't be accomplished in a weekend, you can knocks years or decades off your goal to maximize whatever physical attributes you already have.
Guided Chaos uses Physics and Anatomy. Period. But its physics and nervous system training has been hailed by leading movement scientists as beyond anything they've ever experienced. In fact, one of them called John Perkins "The Einstein of Non-linear Learning."
Find out for yourself at the Cincinnati Sept 17-18 and San Fran Nov. 12-13 Seminars. For beginners through experts. Really.

| GUIDED CHAOS COMBATIVES
Shot on Day 3 of the 2014 Boot Camp, the GUIDED CHAOS COMBATIVES DVD is the perfect complement to the Attackproof Companion Part 1 DVD but with UPDATED and far more focused material. It also is the essential training guide for
those seeking GCC Course Completion or GCC Instructor Certification.
Additionally, all the methodologies on the GCC DVDs are prerequisites for GC 1st degree. Although there is some overlap between Part 1 and the GCC
DVD, they each have critical training not found in the other.
|
| "WOW." I just watched like 4 minutes of the new GCC video. WOW. I've been using and training GCC since 2000 and GC since 2003. You guys know my story:) I'm actually speechless. It's that good and has evolved that much! Just the little course correction, I watched on the GCC chop (saying "hi") is a gold mine and could be a life saver when fractions of a second count. I'm very honored to be considered part of the GC family. I'm so impressed that you never stop refining and finding ways to make this art teachable to all kinds of people. Love you guys." --Bob
