Individual Fighting Systems is a martial arts school unlike any other. Founded in October 1997 in Hattiesburg, MS by Andrew T. Kodger, IFS exist to redefine self-preservation training and the overall martial arts experience. IFS has a unique vision for how martial arts and self-preservation should be taught: Teach the individual, not the style. Each student is unique with specific strengths, weakness, goals, life experiences and overall slants on life. These differentiating qualities mean that no one system, style, technique, or tactic can or even will work for every student. Instead of forcing the student(s) into a mold of an art created several hundred if not thousand years ago. We, at Individual Fighting Systems, are constantly evaluating the student(s) and the curriculum to create, change, and tailor make a system that fits each person uniquely. This means that no two students experiences at IFS are ever the same. We guarantee a unique program and experience to each student. This unique approach means small class sizes and personal one on one attention. It is this unique teaching structure and private/semi-private that allows Individual Fighting Systems to become more than just a school. IFS transcends the traditional martial arts structure and becomes a family. We strive to not only provide quality instruction for our students, but also to provide a sense of pride and connection. In an effort to provide the highest quality training available we have trained with and have ties to many of the best instructors and organizations in the world. That list includes:

Progressive Fighting Systems
AKKI Kenpo
Rickson Gracie
Relson Gracie
Lamar Davis II
Sifu Jody Sassaki
World Black Belt
National Association of Professional Martial Artist
Martial Arts Teachers Association
Carlos Valente
Pedro Sauer

It's been 25 years and we need to never forget what really caused it and that's hatred and bigotry there's a little more nuance and a lot of wrongdoing by the United States that led up to it but ultimately it's hatred that leads to these kind of actions

We need to combat hate in every form so as we honor and remember those that died not only the regular victim list but also the First Responders and the people that got sick and died as New York kid information about the quality of the air the water and other things around Ground Zero for quite some time but we also need to remember that hate is what caused it and we need to combat hate in ourselves and in the nation so that tragedies like these don't happen by our own hand not just foreign Bad actors a lot of people have died in this country because of hate let's do better

To those that helped in New York DC and Pennsylvania we thank you and honor you for your sacrifice that lives you saved and the tragedies you prevented as well as enabling many families to be able to put their loved ones to rest and move on we honor those that died that day not only is victims but as Heroes we honor those that are still alive and that have died in the time between you all in body what America truly is supposed to be

Remember we at Individual Fighting Systems not only work with individuals but also First Responders of all kinds so contact us for program and to learn about the discounts that we offer so that you can be prepared if violence comes for you for someone else in a more street level scenario

There are two aspects to this story that I see a lot of people missing as this story has been discussed over the last three or four days one this woman at first glance does not look dangerous I've even heard some people say that she looks like she has some sort of mental disability or something along that line which that argument is ridiculous but the fact that she does not look threatening

The next aspect is the size of the knife I heard some people say it's a small knife but in this post you will see the NYPD photo taken at the scene and you will see that it is not a small knife

The reason I think that both of these points are important is you never know who is dangerous and you never know the level or size of threat you face so we have to prepare for everything and everyone

This is why we teach how to observe everybody and without looking like you're ready for a fight to always be ready to know which angles they can even attack from and how based on their body movement the way they approach you and the angle in which they enter don't wait till it's too late and you become a victim contact us today to start training now either online or in person through one of our many options to do so you can take private one-on-one you can look to train at one of our class appointments come to or host the seminar or Workshop even come into a 35 or 7 Day R.E.A.L Certification Course and even become an instructor yourself

This is the core of it this is why I love and teach martial arts for about 30 years it'll be 29 this one actually this is why we have instructors all over the country and around the world this is why every body that works with us for us and propagates our curriculum is an ally and a safe space for everyone except for bigots and fascist

Did you know a lot of women don't get CPR because the first responder or the individual doesn't feel comfortable doing compressions on the chest we need to normalize saving a life is not assault the other thing I want to point out is the if they're coughing let them cough do not slap anybody on the back as that can Lodge whatever is in their throat to where they won't be able to breathe and if they're telling you I can't breathe I'm choking they're not because it takes breath to talk let their body work it out just stay vigilant in case it changes and you need to do the Heimlich

In my almost 29 years of teaching I've even had people claiming to be certified by me who aren't but here's the truth of the matter every instructor is verifiable I can show you pictures of me with my instructors I can show you certification and most of all you can swing anytime if I'm actually good at what I do will become obvious in the next few seconds but let's get back to lineage JKD always goes back to Dan if your instructor can't prove a lineage to Dan they are lying
