Your Complete Online Self Defense Resource

I think we’ve all heard the joke, gun control means using both hands, but when an attacker closes with you, you have a real fight on your hands, and it doesn’t matter how much time you spend on the range.  Some people have even suggested that it’s wrong to carry a knife or pepper spray on you, because it can be taken away and used on you during an attack, sure that can happen, but only if you let it happen.  It seems more than a few martial artists are repacking their old techniques and are reinventing themselves as self defense experts.  While traditional martial arts was once a selling point they now know it is all about self defense, but you have to be wary when you go for weapons retention training, because you could be buying the same old crap just in a new box.  When you pickup a weapon to defense yourself or do your job use it to it’s full potential, and don’t let anyone take it away, and we can teach you that.

One of the many complaints I’ve heard from Master Instructor Ross over the years is that people teach “twisty wrist crap” as a form of self defense.  Do they work sure and I’ve done them to others and had them done to me in training situations, but just try doing any of them when you’re dealing with a strong, motivated, and potentially deadly assailant. You go to grab their wrist their other first will make contact with your skull, and that is just the beginning of the attack.  The reason I bring these techniques up is that I’ve seen other “instructors” demonstrate them as part of their program.  They twist guns around, manipulate joints, and twist arms around so you’re behind your attacker with their weapon in your hand.  Sounds great doesn’t it, but it is too good to be true.

If someone levels a gun at you, you might only have seconds to react, and let’s face if they want to shoot you they probably will.  They might want something though and whether they want you to open the safe or come with them you have to move quickly.  All kinds of thoughts are going to be rushing through your head as you think of all that you could lose, how to get help or simply maintain control of your bladder.  If anyone tells you this kind of scenario doesn’t scare them they’re lying, and do you think you will remember some complicated pistol grapping twisty secret move while it is all happening?  If you’re honest with yourself probably not, but can you remember how to slap the weapon to one side as you strike and keep striking your attacker?  It doesn’t need to be dramatic or amazing it just needs to work, and the right training could be the only thing that stands between you going home or going to county in a body bag.

Here at the Self Defense Company we don’t drag training out over years, and we don’t teach you anything that can’t be used in real combat.  Someone goes for that gun on your hip we’ll show you how to hit him until you drive him back and safely pull your weapon and call for backup.  A home intruder gets behind you and tries to grab your hunting rifle or shotgun we’ll show you how to get him off you, and keep him from using your weapon on you in a fight.  Most people who come to train with us at our seminars are amazed how simple the techniques are, and they fit in perfectly with your weapons training.  The basic rules of self defense don’t go out the window when you pickup a weapon so be ready.
