Returning to the Fire

Years ago, I had a fire in me to learn the Perkins Self-Defense System. As I grew as an instructor, I gained knowledge and experience, but somewhere along the way, that fire began to fade.

I realize now that I need to stoke that fire again.

I’m going to do that through study and practice, taking a deeper dive into the material and teachings of the Perkins system.^

I’ll be using my House of Chaos to host Study & Practice sessions where I can participate alongside others who want to study, practice, explore, and learn.

I’ll continue training with others while putting my focus back on the study and practice of the Perkins system.

For me, this is about getting that fire back and continuing the journey.

 Gorilla realization :
The Attack Proof book, its companion videos, the Matrix, and the other available videos contain a considerable amount of information about Guided Chaos. They are not the end of the system, and they do not contain everything, but they preserve something extremely important: they explain and demonstrate how John moved.

The exercises, principles, and concepts in the book are not just information to study. The exercises are designed to develop the body so that it can begin to move according to the principles John demonstrated. In that sense, the exercises are teaching us how to develop the qualities behind John’s movement.

For many of us who were fortunate enough to learn directly through hands-on training, the book may not have seemed as important at the time. We could feel the movement, ask questions, train with John, and receive corrections directly. The book was still valuable and was read, but it was supported by the living experience of training with him.

Now that John is gone, I believe the book and the recorded material have become even more important. The words in the book do not change. The videos do not change. They continue to preserve explanations, demonstrations, exercises, principles, and examples of how John actually moved.

As I have gone back through the book and watched the videos more carefully, I have begun to notice something for myself: many of the exercises appear to be teaching the physical qualities that allowed John to move the way he did. That realization has made me look at the material differently.

So I want to put my money where my mouth is.

I am going to take the time to do a serious deep dive into this material. I want to watch it, study it, physically perform the exercises, practice the principles, and test this idea through my own training.

The Attack Proof book will be one of my primary tools. The videos, the Matrix, my club, my personal practice, and training with other practitioners will all become part of that exploration.

My goal is not simply to read about Guided Chaos.

My goal is to practice the material deeply enough to better understand what John was showing us through his movement.
