Common Sense Self Defense Street Combat
Common Sense Self Defense Street Combat has been designed
to meet the needs of today\'s environment. CSSD/SC is not a particular
way or style of martial art or fighting. It is principles of motion tied
into conceptual patterns that are tempered by the complex legal liabilities
of our current society. CSSD/SC then takes the conceptual patterns of
motion and establishes a framework that allows one to see the conceptual
usage of those patterns. CSSD/SC allows for the students to grow within
themselves with universal concepts of offensive and defensive motions.
No two students will seem the same for NO TWO PEOPLE ARE THE SAME. By
using principles of motion all people can have self defense, for one
will absorb what is useful to them and discard that which does not apply.
In CSSD/SC we teach conceptual weapons usage. Unlike
traditional empty hand arts, CSSD/SC teaches weapons usage FIRST to
allow for understanding reality of combat. Knife teaches stick, stick
teaches empty hand, a one way progression; for it doesn\'t work in
reverse.
A proven axiom of combat is due to extreme stress, in situations like
street combat, fine motor skills go down the tubes, leaving ONLY gross
motor skills.
Working within that concept, the Gunting Drone and the CRMIPT, both non cutting, non lethal impact tools based on knife motions has been developed. It works "like a knife"" the conceptual usage is the same, but the results are kept to the non lethal stage. There is no progression from non lethal to less than lethal nor from the less than lethal to the lethal stage. In places where knives or edged tools are forbidden, the use not safe nor allowed by ethics or personal beliefs, or liability concerns, this newly developed tool can fill in for a cutting tool. It lacks the ability to "stop" function in the same way but it has shown itself to be as effective in situations where no other tool is allowed or acceptable. And its carry is the same as a common pocket knife. The impact from such a small tool is concentrated in a small area and is directed to sensitive parts such as finger and hands amplifying the total power felt without needing great physical strength.
