Oct 19 Suarez Combatives Training Group

[Cruel Hand Luke]

Ok guys, this has been a long time in coming but it is here now! This is a full day of empty hand skills. No crouching tiger hidden dragon silliness, just good solid old school combatives combined with some modern influence and geared toward the street not the octagon. The class is priced accordingly and there is a hefty discount for anyone who is signed up for the Zero To Five class Oct 25-26.....http://www.suarezinternationalstore....x#.VCLOI_ldUas

Students don't have to be a cross fit instructor, you just have to be in good enough condition to do one of our regular pistol classes. 



TITLE- "Stayin' Alive" - Empty Hand Combatives in a Weapons Based Environment

DATE- October 19 

TIME- 10AM- 4PM CENTRAL TIME!!!

LOCATION- Phillips Edwards Farm 763 County Rd 332 Pisgah Alabama 35765 (the usual place)

PRICE- $100 (ONLY $50 if you are signed up for the Zero to Five October 25-26 ) Just bring check or cash to the Training Group. 

AMMO - 50 rounds...this class is all empty hand techniques and transitioning to weapons but there is a little live fire to tie it all together. 

EQUIPMENT NEEDED- Pistol , holster, Blue gun or Airsoft pistol (I do have loaners if your holster will work with a full size glock), Paintball mask or at a MINIMUM shooting glasses - getting poked in the eye sucks...

OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT- mouthpiece and cup. Seriously, no one likes getting hit in the junk. A cup is a good investment . Training knife if you want to bring one. Focus pads-if you have 'em bring 'em. ANY kind of personal padding you want to bring. 


This is NOT an MMA class. This is NOT a traditional martial arts class. This is a combatives class based on dealing with criminal assault initially with empty hands and bridging to weapons if needed. This is an awesome primer for our Zero To Five class. 

The reason we are offering this is that when polled on what they want to work on the training group students say they'd like to do a combatives class. It makes sense. You cannot carry a gun everywhere...but you carry hands, feet, elbows and knees every where you go. Also you cannot just shoot everyone who hits you. And sometimes gunfights and knife fights start as fistfights and usually start before you get a weapon in hand. If all you have in the tool box is to stand and shoot ..well...good luck with that. 

Hope to see you there!!!!!!!

Unfortunately I have to work that weekend. :rant:

 

This will, no doubt, be an excellent class and a much needed one at that.

iirc it was Kelly McCann that said "Martial arts is what you do with someone, combatives is what you do to someone"...wise words folks.

 

Like Randy mentioned...not every situation is a shooting situation. A man's gotta have options.

 

Thank you for this opportunity Randy. I hope folks jump all over this!

One week to go!!!! This event is THIS COMING SUNDAY.  If you ever wondered how you'd react to a touching distance attack, how you'd be able to get to your gun and how you'd keep from getting the gun taken away from you this is the perfect opportunity to add those tools to your toolbox. Hope to see you there!

THREE DAYS TO GO! 

 

Weather is supposed to be 65 and partly cloudy ...perfect weather for this type class.

I attended Randy's class this past Sunday and it is a great class.  Lots of hands on drills with individual attention when you need it.  The basics are easily taught and provides you with the background on how to defend yourself and escape when you are unable to legally carry a firearm, or how to respond and get far enough away to draw.  I strongly recommend this class and it is a natural progression after taking tactical handgun 101 or for anyone who wants to learn the fundamentals of practical self defense.
