GC Ground Fighting DVD Excerpt

Guided Chaos Modified Native American Ground Fighting DVD excerpt. Focusing on mobility, elusiveness and punishing kicks, it has no relation to sportive grappling. In a real fight the last thing you want is to be locked to a bigger, stronger assailant while his buddies kick your brains in.

Contact Flow at Various Speeds and Levels

John Perkins demonstrating free-from, un-choreographed, "Contact Flow" sparring drill using principles vaguely similar to Tai Chi push hands or Wing Chun Chi Sao but with World War II CQC striking and other methods. Perkins begins with students at half speed; he uses a skill level slightly below or equal to the student's, then goes to 3/4 speed and higher skill level to dominate them. Training is completely uncooperative, formless, and with partners trying to hit and not be hit.

23) Adaptive Defense: Why Lethal Striking Alone is Not Enough to Save Your Life​)

• It doesn't matter HOW many lethal targets you know--no one is going to just LET you hit them.
• What's to stop a determined attacker from hitting yours first? 
To see some of the drills spoken of here, go to vid clip #16 (Intro to Guided Chaos Combat Conditioning). 
• The key to becoming Adaptive is combining internal sensitivity principles from authentic internal arts (tai chi, bagua, etc) with hard core Combatives. Guided Chaos is the fastest way to learn this.

22) Self-defense Aboard Airliners

Hand to hand combat and improvised weapons to prevent a hijacking. Originally broadcast on WNBC News New York Channel 4 with Chuck Scarborough.

14) Locking only doesn't work: from Companion DVD Part 1

Locking exposes police officers (who have to be PC about arrest) and civilians to real danger. Police have strict regulations to follow. Civilians defending their lives can use whatever is reasonable to survive. Make sure though you have a defense attorney on speed dial. 

15) Multiple Assault Options

Locking exposes police officers (who have to be PC about arrest) and civilians to real danger. Police have strict regulations to follow. Civilians defending their lives can use whatever is reasonable to survive. Make sure though you have a defense attorney on speed dial. 

12) Stick vs. Knife Self-defense

Excerpt from the Guided Chaos Modified Native American Ground Fighting DVD. Focusing on mobility, elusiveness and punishing kicks, it has no relation to sportive grappling. In a real fight the last thing you want is to be locked to a bigger, stronger assailant while his buddies kick your brains in. It also provides a devastating alternative to traditional knife defense using both crushing kicks and a stick/cane.

Women's Self-defense

If what you know require's an Olympian's body or even just being a large male to work than you should look elsewhere. GC is probably the best form of self-defense training for women.
