Welcome to my combatives page.
The aim of this site is to aid you in starting a successful self defense program. If you already have a self defense program hopefully I can give you a different look at what you are already doing. The ultimate goal, after all, is self preservation using whatever tools are available.

Check out all the sections. The physical side will deal with techniques and other physical traits like conditioning. The mental side will deal with attitude, strategy and other mental tools. Crunch time will deal with the event, how to avoid it and how to prepare yourself in the last seconds before it. The articles section will consist of my musings on more specific parts of self preservation training and the martial arts in general. I will also try to beg, plead and cajole some of the more knowledgeable people I am in contact with to write guest articles. About me will explain a little about who I am. The links section will consist of links to some of the sites I find useful, boards I post at and any other links that may be of some help.
Check back often, this site is a work in progress, it will change constantly!

Legal crap: Use at own risk. most of these techniques can cause injury and sometimes death if used improperly while training. While I have confidence in my knowledge, I am by no means an expert. If anything doesn't make sense to you RESEARCH it first. You have a brain, use it, it is your greatest tool.
