Core Principles

• Keep techniques simple and natural
• Achieve maximum effect with minimum effort
• Train for the worst, not the ideal
• Adapt to any environment or threat

The Mindset

• Scan constantly to identify threats early
• Control fear to make clearer decisions
• Take the fight to the threat
• Commit fast; hesitation gets you hurt

Target Areas

• Strike the eyes to disorient
• Attack the throat to stop breathing
• Hit the groin to end it
• Break the knees to kill mobility

Against Grabs

• Break the grip immediately
• Create distance from the attacker
• Counter without pausing
• Move before they reset

Against Strikes

• Deflect or block the incoming attack
• Close the distance fast
• Strike vital targets in return
• Overwhelm before they recover

Against Chokes

• Break the hold first
• Off-balance the attacker
• Disable with rapid strikes
• Clear the threat completely

Ground Defense

• Protect vital areas while down
• Create space to maneuver
• Stand up at the first opening
• Escape rather than grapple

Disarms

• Control the weapon before anything
• Disarm with efficient movement
• Counter or disengage immediately
• Treat any object as a weapon
