"The Way of Adaptation"
Real Violence Is Never Choreographed--
Your Self-Defense Shouldn’t Be Either

The Future of Violence in America?    "As I've explained on Fox News and elsewhere, I predict that within a decade, due to hyperinflation and other factors, the situation in the U.S. will be similar to what currently exists in parts of South America. People of means will have to live in fortified enclaves with private security to counter the threat of burglary and kidnapping for ransom from the desperately poor majority. Local law enforcement will be starved of funds and powerless to contain the exploding crime wave. Private individuals will be responsible for their own safety as never before in the U.S. since the 18th Century. I urge all law-abiding Americans to educate themselves in advance about all areas of personal security, right down to close combat with and without weapons, as best taught by John Perkins and the Attack Proof organization."  --Gerald Celente Founder, Trends Research Institute  "The World's #1 Trends Forecaster

FEEDBACK ON OUR FIRST 2-DAY GUIDED CHAOS INTENSIVE SEMINAR IN BRITAIN AT THE UNITY MARTIAL ARTS ACADEMY...

"Dear Grand Master Perkins, Thank you again for coming to the UK and sharing your time and expertise over the week end. It has been a great opportunity for me to have a chance to train with you, as well as with your top instructors. This confirmed to me the unique value of KCD, which I had got an initial idea from the book and the Conditioning DVD  i.e., this is a style which combines ruthless techniques for survival, as well as internal aspects for lifelong personal improvement, into a coherent, compelling format. This is something I had been looking for in all the arts I practiced, without really finding it. I felt most arts I tried over time at least as they are positioned today, separated the internal and the deadly combat aspects; not only were these not part of the same art, it was almost as if they were not compatible. Thank you for getting these back together! I'll do my best to practice what I was shown, until such time that I may get the opportunity to train with you again. With my deepest respect, Sylvain Fabre"

BAREHANDS TO HANDGUNS

 

• DISARM/DISABLE ATTACKERS
• DYNAMIC SHOOTING UNDER STRESS
• WHAT DOESN'T WORK
• FOR GUN OWNERS AND NON-GUN OWNERS ALIKE

As most of you may already know on December 1, 2007 we will be having our combat handguns seminar. This will consist of many techniques that will allow you to disarm and/or disable an attacker who is armed with a firearm at close contact range. We will also present methods of shooting under high stress chaotic conditions from various positions most of which will be dynamic. For safety we will be using soft air pellet handguns among other mock weapons for the training. Even if you do not own or use a firearm this seminar will be extremely valuable.
 
Besides the training in what actually works we will present some of what does not work or can be easily made far more usable under realistic conditions. Unfortunately there are some faulty techniques that are taught today in some of the most well known places. Some of these techniques will be closely scrutinized for their validity under dynamic real world conditions.
 
Much of this information is based on actual experience of men and women who have prevailed and some who have not in close contact combative armed encounters. As a forensic expert who has studied this area extensively I have found that there is much that has been overlooked or just missed by some instructors. This does not include those instructors who have diligently studied and researched and trained in realistic and proven methodologies.
 
Fancy or foreign names for maneuvers don't make them better or workable for that matter. While being in great physical condition can enhance most tactical endeavors it is not always necessary for getting through a serious high speed life and death situation.
 
Even if you have had a great deal of training in many schools and have had valid street experience this seminar may answer or create some questions for you.
 
Please examine yourself and ask what it means to you to have knowledge that may make the difference between going home or not at the end of the day.
 
This seminar is good for both the beginner and the most advanced combat oriented people.
 
Reality and Reason not Macho wins the day.  JP

All seminars will be at Premier Fitness in Nanuet NY at 11:30am. All seminars are $75 payable with cash or credit card at the front desk ($50 for class members).
