PRE-CONFLICT TRAINING
Where is the danger, where is the fight?


ABOUT OUR TRAINING PHILOSOPHY

Our Academy teaches a complete fighting system encompassing Stand Up Hand to Hand Unarmed Combat, Weaponry, impact and bladed, various improvised weapons such as projectiles and street debris, and  firearms retention and control. Stand up wrestling if you get clinched before you can finish, and if you get taken to the ground, our ground defensive survival skills will neutralize your opponents ability to apply locks and strangulation.
For a fighting system to be effective, i.e. victorious over others, the structure must tie all the above stages of fighting into a comprehensible teaching curriculum.  

As fighters progress through the system, they learn the language of fighting, understanding what may happen at any time during the fight and being physically and psychologically prepared for one outcome only.  Your survival and victory over the transgressor!

Awareness, Fear Management, Reflex, Speed and Power, Precision, these are some of the core training blocks in our system.  Techniques alone will not get the results you want no matter how well equipped your tool box may be.

CONFLICT TRAINING

Evade/Disperse/Control/Diminish

Distance, timing body culture This is a prerequisite to understanding fight strategy.  If the attacker meets air instead of contacting with you, then this is good, if the attackers momentum is eliminated this is even better, if he can fight you no more then it is over.


To be successful, a fighter must have a strategy. In a real fight no one can determine what will happen.  As Kapap Founder and Chief Instructor Avi Nardia says "Fighting is Chaos".  A  real fight does not reflect what traditional martial arts based systems teach.  In a real fight people are extremely violent and use any technique to take you down. People bite, stick their thumb in your eyes, squeeze your testicles and enjoy hearing you scream in pain.  More significantly if multiple opponents face you off with weapons you can be seriously hurt or even killed.

 You must always consider the consequences of your fighting strategy during training.  Do you really believe deep down in your heart that what you are doing is going to win the day for you! You may never know until it is too late.  Your techniques must always be grounded in the realities of "anything goes" because on the street there are no rules!.

"Target the Target" when you attack the attack.  Accuracy in delivery of your techniques is the key to knocking the man down.

• VICTIMS ARE ALMOST ALWAYS FORGOTTEN.  THAT IS WHY THEY ARE THE LOSERS.

 Just as we teach techniques in order, based on the ease with which they can be learned, we also teach from the simplest scenarios building to the more complex. The difference is only one of degrees. The techniques and strategies for instance that are used for one on one unarmed fighting must teach the principles and body mechanics necessary to learn the higher level techniques required in more difficult scenarios such as  armed or unarmed multiple attackers.
