Get a member of your Tribe and something with which to restrain their hands - duct tape will work in a pinch. Your Tribe member can even be your wife - for some guys this will be an eye-opener.
Square off.
One of you is tasked with restraining the other. No weapons.
Use a stopwatch, and check the time when you are finally finished.
Annnnnnnnnd GO!
How'd it work out for you? Did you get the other person restrained without resorting to bone-crushing punches or kicks?
What if, one day, you need to take down some OathBreaker who has information you need?
You'll want to know how to get him under control quickly, without any of your people getting hurt, and without killing the guy.
What if some OathBreaker decides to restrain you - and you aren't in the mood?
Another exercise: Have 2 strong lads grab your wrists, one on each side. Let's assume your sidearm is just a few inches away, on your belt. Can you get to it? Watch this guy - and yes, I can teach you this in less than an hour. And yes, it is part of the CQB class.
Note - the guy in the video is running at about 1/8 speed for 2 reasons: 1) So you can see what he is doing and 2) so he doesn't break every joint from wrist to shoulder in the guys trying to hold him. In the real world, you won't care about such niceties.- K
CQB Class Schedule:
Rockford Illinois: June 23
SoCal (Orange County): July 6
Western Colorado: July 12 & 13
WV (Gallipolis Ohio): July 20
A South Florida class is being assembled for mid-late August.
Anyone interested in attending any of these classes, let me know and I will forward your information to the organizer.
At the end of the day you'll have the skills to subdue almost anyone you need to subdue, you'll be able to prevent almost anyone from subduing you, and you'll be able to break them into parts and pieces if you choose.

Any in Michigan or Ohio any time soon?
ReplyDeleteDiablo: Sandman is hosting the class in Gallipolis, OH - is that close enough to you?
DeleteThat is about 10+ hours drive from my location in the thumb of Michigan, we will have to try to catch you when you are a little closer due too our work schedules. A couple of us have been training in Krav for a few years and passing that on to our friends/family, but I would really like the opportunity to train and learn from you. Thank you III
DeleteI sent you an email with my personal info, please pass it on to the South Florida organizer.

Folks, if you have time to learn only one martial art form which will be the most useful in the widest circumstances, aikido is the one. What Sam says is true, he can teach you these skills very quickly and it will be very good to know if you ever
