🔐 A common misconception entering into the black belt test is that perfection is the goal.
That couldn’t be further from the truth.
You’re going to fail.
You’re going to (figuratively) die - many times.

Fit to Fight® Training Friday! New video up on YouTube 👊
If you're going to carry a knife for self defense you need these two non-negotiable elements:
1 - A TRUE willingness to use it
2- TRAINING to access and get it into the fight
🎥 Drilling to access a blade and implement it into the fight system you already use.
We aren't teaching you a new way to fight. We want you to be able to use your current methods, with a knife in your hand.
It’s a fight.
Not a “self defense move.”
It’s dynamic.
There’s no step-by-step plan.
So we learn to fight.
With striking and wrestling.
Using their clothing or ours.
Making space to run.
Closing space to control.

We’ve proudly not run many Active Killer Defense™️ workshops.
Our goal with this program was always for it to become obsolete.
The options we break down in this course give anyone facing violence an option. You deserve to understand what “fight” means, not just given a tagline.
Our next seminar is in Charlotte, NC
