5 - Training Methodologies

Definition:

  The Way or the (Method) we go about Training, Teaching or Instructing.

  Since the beginning of strategic warfare, a special group of individual has been tasked with the training Warriors to survive in combat. This profession which in many thousands of years old, has influenced the rise and fall of nations throughout history. It is the only recognized profession that trains students protect lives by taking or injuring another human life at the same time. It is also one of the few professions in which the instructor’s competence may be the difference between the life and death of the student or the general public.

  Throughout the centuries, survival training has changed very little. Survival Instructors have struggled with the lack of resources and the necessary time to adequately train their students. Even with today’s advanced weapon systems and technology, instructor must compensate for human limitations.

  Instructors who teach survival skills, (i.e defensive tactics, close quarter combat or any other type of Survival Strategies) are still faced with teaching students a physical skill.

Variables that Affect Survival and Combat Training:

  Unlike other motor skill training, survival skills will be performed in the stress of combat. As such, motor skill training inherits a fair degree of learning and performance limitations. Although the learning roadblocks are multiple, there are three constant variables that directly affect survival and combat training.

Exceptional Instructors have the ability to create a learning cycle that is constantly feeding upon itself. In the center of this cycle is the goal of creating and increasing the student’s confidence in a specific set of skills. Confidence minimizes the physiological effects of stress and places the student in a physical parameter for optimum combat performance. If the student does not have confidence in the technique or survival skill, they will never use it in the stress of Combat.

Definitions and Theories of Martial Science:

"Train like you fight; fight like you train", quote by unknown smart dude

“Indecision is the mother of all F....Ups", mantra of all soldiers

INTRODUCTION:

Both quotes above are very specific to this chapter as it deals with how to train to achieve your required goals. Some people actually train to fight, others not so much, worse still many students and instructors alike don't actually know the difference. Whether you train to fight for sport, self-defense or just the pursuit of knowledge it is critical that you understand the implicit and explicit training paradigms and how to use both methodologies to achieve your desired outcome.

Objectives:

 •Understand the meaning of Implicit and Explicit with regards to Training & Response

•Ability to assess your existing training programs and modify them for optimal response goals

•Ability to disrupt and destroy your opponent’s decision and response capabilities during a combat situation

Pre-requisites:

•Sense of Humor

•Ability to learn then ignore big words

Definitions:  Unfortunately even among neuropsychologists many of the terms and definitions relating to this subject are a grey area. With that in mind I will define what we mean by the terms in the following pages. If there are some neuropsychologist's who take exception please do not hesitate to contact me so I can show you my implicit response :)

Conscious:  denoting or relating to a part of the human mind that is aware of a person's self, environment, and mental activity and that to a certain extent determines his choices of action.

Subconscious: the totality of mental processes of which the individual is not aware; unreportable mental activities.

Cognitive: of, relating to, being, or involving conscious intellectual activity; pertaining to the mental process of perception, reasoning and judgment, etc.

Non-cognitive: adjective of cognitive, not cognitive, not related to the process of acquiring knowledge through the senses or reasoning.

 This very unique Combat & Self-Defense system utilizes the Walking Cane. The ultimate Self-Defense Tool. You carry it anywhere, Police Departments, Court Room or on an airplane…..it’s the greatest support device.

You can carry it anywhere because it is covered under the American’s with Disabilities Act, and there are no restrictions on having to prove a physical condition or impairment in order to carry your Cane with you, anywhere at any time!

Regardless of your physical condition or your age, you can learn to utilize this weapon and combat system.

You will learn how to use the 4 parts of the cane, the Crook, Tip, Horn and Shaft to defend yourself and to use in a combat situation.

It is truly an incredible Self-Defense Tool.

The Cane for Self-defense:

Many people do not like the walking cane for Self-defense because it does not go along with their age, attire or, they simply do not want to be associated with someone who may be disabled. They do not wish to have the stigma that is often associated with the cane.

There is a strength in that appearance. The strong appearing to be weak might be all the edge you need in a lot of physical confrontations. That’s a "Combat Ruse." A young attacker who is strong might make the incredible mistake of thinking you are easy prey, to find out all too late that you’re not.

The Cane gives even more reach than the average telescoping baton in some cases and is legal in more areas than that weapon.

Perhaps the greatest strength of all is in the presentation. The Cane is already "drawn." You can strike immediately with it. There is an old saying in Gun Circles, "The fastest draw is to have the gun in your hand when the trouble starts." This applies to the knife as well, and the stick. The strength of the Cane is, it is a Cane! It’s not a gun or a knife, it is already out in the open and you can strike instantly with it.

You will learn all of the angles for blocking with the cane and all the angles or attack using the cane as impact and striking weapon.

An incredible self-defense weapon that can be carried and used anywhere!

​Israeli Tactical Knife Fighting               Come and learn the same skills as are taught to the Israeli Military, Special Forces and other Israeli Professionals.Israeli Tactical Knife Fighting Class / Knife Defenses – Can you defend yourself against an attacker with a knife?A Knife is a Force Multiplier. Perfectly legal to carry, and very lethal in an Assaultive situation.Our Israeli Tactical Knife Fighting (ITKF) class can help you learn how to even the odds. Knives are legal to carry and easily accessible which makes it a very attractive weapon for criminals. The mindset of ITKF is to even the odds. If a knife is pulled on you, you should not defend the attack with open hands if you can deploy a knife to even the odds. A skilled ITKF practitioner defending against an unskilled attacker has a huge advantage in the outcome of the attack.The ITKF Program is not restricted to law enforcement, military or approved civilians, anyone can take our classes.  This program teaches use of the knife as a defensive tool and as an offensive weapon, when you are being attacked and justified to use Deadly Force in Defense of your life or the life of someone else. It brings Professor Garry Welch and his extensive expertise in use of edged weapons to the classroom setting.ITKF covers all facets of using a knife against an assailant who is also armed with a knife or any other Deadly Force Object, or an empty hand attack from a much larger, stronger and more skilled individual, when your very life is on the line. You will learn effective deployment strategies to using reverse grip tactics to draw the attacker into an effective counterattack. In learning the Knife Fighting System, you will learn the point on the body that are considered Lethal Points, thereby learning the parts of your body that are the most vulnerable.Knife-fighting training is an excellent way to develop a keen understanding of how a knife is used in an attack. It is also a great way to develop a sense of the flow of an assault with a knife, improve footwork for all programs, and improve recognition of knife motion and patterns. All of this not only serves to turn students into effective knife fighters, but also importantly helps students greatly enhance their ability to “read” the existence and direction of travel of a knife being used against them. This is a critical ability to possess and to develop for the empty hand versus knife tactics taught in the Krav Maga System. This high level class teaches the defender how to use a knife as a defensive weapon if the attacker deploys an edged weapon. The best strategic mindset in any survival situation is to at least even the odds if not better the odds. This class completely covers all skills needed to significantly improve your odds of surviving and to dominate an encounter against a knife wielding attacker.This class is open for enrollment to both Male and Female Students. These classes are also available to bring to any Law Enforcement Agency, Security Company or Military Unit. Train to Live….. Live to Train!!!!! "In a time of great crisis...We never rise to the level of our expectations...We will always fall to the level of our Training!!"
