Practical, Tactical, Combative, No fluff, Just Reality
Look there are a lot of schools out there, are they teaching you what it will takes to survive a street fight? IF NOT then you are wasting your time
The definition of the term Reality-Based
Training and survival skills based on modern conflict situations that the practitioner is likely to encounter in their environment (their "reality").
Bridging the Gap between the Citizen, the Military, the Police and the Martial Artist.
What you are about to read may upset you, piss you off or surprise, enlighten, or possibly help you. But one thing is clear - you'll have a greater understanding of what is really happening in the martial arts and self defense industry. There is so may schools both fly by night and legitimate there is a lot of competition, misinformation and similar styles that today even the most knowledgeable person maybe confused. We hope that this information not only stops all the confusion but provides you with the knowledge to properly evaluate the best type of self-defense/combat training method for you. Our first step is to explain the different categories of martial arts.
COMPARING
TRADITIONAL MARTIAL ARTS TO M.M.A./SPORT TO REALITY BASED MARTIAL ARTS
Martial arts can be divided into 3 categories Traditional Martial Arts, Mixed Martial Arts, Reality Based Martial Arts. The problem is that thanks to movies, TV, Internet, is that there is no actual proof of any one method of fighting being completely dominant in all situations, Martial Artist have blurred it to the point of non-existence. While all have many overlapping elements, it is important for you to understand that each category is distinctively different and must be treated as such.
The first category is Traditional Martial Arts, it contains every style from traditional karate, to Hapkido, Kenpo, Escrima, Aikido, & kung fu, to the countless other cultural Traditional Martial Arts that have been developed throughout history by almost every civilization. All are fun to do, helps to get you in to shape helps discipline you. all are very interesting, and all provide a very well rounded education in world culture and martial theory. However, no cultural fighting art has any proof of dominant effectiveness in the modern world. That means that Aikido, Karate, Kung Fu, countless other cultural Traditional Martial Arts and even Israel's "Krav Maga" is not proven, effective in combat or “street”. Nor does it classify as proven, effective combative sport like the U.F.C. Cage Fighting. So without an abundance of proof, it is only martial theory, not fact. Traditional Martial Arts are wonderful for exploring a method of self perfection, but has no place in self protection. Do not get me wrong all of these styles can maybe help you out of a tough jam. Because a scientific way of combat is better than NO scientific way of combat BUT.... Instructors give there student a false sense of security. Traditional Martial Arts DOES NOT TEACH Reality Based Scenarios, or Resistance training
M.M.A./Combative Sports include Olympic judo, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai kickboxing, all forms of wrestling, western boxing, M.M.A.(mixed martial arts) which has been popularized by events such as the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). In combative sport you are forced to prove the effectiveness of your methods and skill in live combat. There is no guesswork, no debate. It either works and you win, or it doesn't work and you lose. Everybody in the world saw Combat Sport Brazilian Jiu-jujitsu stylist Royce Gracie easily pick apart the cultural fighting art practitioners in the first few Ultimate Fighting. If you watch Olympic Judo, you'll see the highest caliber athletes in the world competing in a sport that is symbolic of combat in that the entire basis is to establish a dominant position. Combative Sport is a very, very important component of testing the validity and effectiveness of a martial art, it too is not reality based martial arts/combat driven. It is only a training and conditioning method for self-defense. Combative sport is what you use to train yourself to make sure that your self-defense works under sport conditions. Do you understand?A great example is how the ancient Greeks used wrestling, boxing, and other Olympic events as training for war. NOT as the actual techniques used on the battlefield. But even a more simplistic explanation is simply that that the rules, regulations, and referees that are required in combative sport are NOT going to be there when someone is trying to kill you in a dark alley. So no, even today's most popular training methods: Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai, Wrestling, Judo, Boxing, Mixed Martial Arts, etc. are not methods of reality based martial arts either. (Training for self defense application yes, self defense no.)
Reality-Based Martial Arts
The real issue is that there are a million-and-one different ways you can be attacked. Everything from a drunk tackling you at the local bar, armed mugging on your way home from work, a carjacking, to being caught in the middle of a military or terrorist operation. Therefore, Reality-Based Martial Arts has one purpose, and one purpose only; To survive. What we mean is that no sane person, soldiers, professional fighters, or trained martial artists truly want to hurt or kill a human being. But when it comes to kill or be killed situation , your natural survival instinct WILL take over and do whatever it can to save your life so you can go home to your family. Learning to properly defend yourself is much more than just avoiding injury, humiliation, or even death. Our greatest enemy of all: Fear. There IS no 100% answer to anything. But when it comes to matters of life and death, the smart thing to do is stack the odds in your favor. Based on that logic, there is only ONE method of self-defense that has been documented and statistically proven effective under any circumstances, for any individual.
"Cry in the Dojo, Laugh on the Battlefield"
If you have a sincere desire to defend yourself in a real situation, you'll have to sacrifice your ego, put aside the pride we hold so dear, and present yourself to someone who will teach and test you for the street. Look for someone who is willing to [at the very least] separate the art from the application. The art of the technique is not in how pretty the lines or circles are. The art is in the free use of the technique. The art is the science and psychology of aggression and physics, of leverage and kinetics, not the mysticism in the so-called advanced levels.
