I am not a martial artist, I am a martial analyst. Some call me a 'martial mechanic' That works too.

I'm not going to teach you what I do. I'm going to help you fix what you do. What I will do is make you sit down and think about what you know.

I do this in one of two ways. First is to find lost components that destroy your technique's power chain (the reason this move doesn't work is right here something is missing that allows him to resist). Second is finding unconscious, habitual and extra movement that is being added. Extra movement isn't effective; it weakens your move, wastes time and leaves you exposed to injury.

My goal is to get you to move and act effectively. Because effectiveness not only is the height of the martial arts, but what will keep you alive in a violent encounter.

I will also introduce you to the factors that you must consider before you even try to apply what you know in a 'self-defense' situation. Issues such as legal considerations, "planning for success," social and moral issues about violence and adrenal stress factors that must be considered. And that -- more than any killer commando fighting system -- will keep you alive and out of prison if you ever need to use your training in a situation.
