Realistic Self-Defense

We train bare knuckle, remain standing up and in a t-shirt. We do this because we train for the street. We aren't concerned with training for the ring or for some other sports competition. We don't meet our attacker on the street and ask them to "hang on a second" while we put on our boxing gloves, tie on our karate robe or roll around on the ground. We train on our feet, make sure we stay there and take care of business as quickly as possible.

If you want to train a sport, train something else like jiu jitsu, muay thai kickboxing, judo or tae kwon do. What we do isn't a sport. Realisic self-defense is not a competition or a rules-based match. We don't care about getting a championship trophy or holding a championship belt.

We don't train for ego either. We're not interested in how many people we can "take out" or how much of a bad ass others think we are. We're not some steroid-taking fight club that looks to beat people up. The last thing we want to do is actually have to use what we know on someone else.

However, if it turns out that we need to protect ourselves or our families... make no mistake, we train in order to handle ourselves when it matters most!
