| Combat fitness is a critical component of Close Quarter Combat training. In addition to knowledge and muscle memory, the development of muscular strength and physical endurance help compensate for a size disadvantage. They are important components in our effort to survive criminal assault.
Activities incorporated into training include:
Kick-boxing Aerobics
Combat Endurance
Ground Combat Endurance |
Assault Survival: Assault survival is our goal. It is the "True North" of our compass. Everything else is secondary.
Knowledge: Central to our study is knowledge - Knowledge of a full spectrum of combat scenarios. Knowledge of criminal tendencies and the influence of environmental/situational variables in the application of our techniques.
Muscle Memory: The learned, patterned response to assault that enables application of our techniques in real time.
There are four critical strengths that support any combat application:
Aerobic Strength: This important foundation involves training your body to intake, transport and distribute oxygen to support mental and muscular function.
Anaerobic Strength: This is the ability to continue muscular function when the need for oxygen exceeds its availability. The result is an accumulation of lactic acid the impairs muscle function and induces pain. You can train your body to tolerate a higher level of lactic acid and to clear it more rapidly when the ratio of oxygen demand and availability is more favorable (recovery). This is the domain of active combat.
Muscular Strength: Increasing muscle power makes combat techniques more effective.
Mental Strength: Develop the unrelenting belief that you can survive. Develop the ability to think and react favorably under the physiologic changes that occur with stress. These are achieved by progressively pushing the envelope of your physical training and by training against realistic assault scenarios.
