What Constitutes a Complete System?

 

Many systems and styles out there claim to be “complete”.  Below is a list of elements that are mandatory to even begin to say your style is complete.

 

1.      Confrontation Management – How to deal with the pre-fight circumstances.  Deescalating and defusing.

2.      Realistic Scenario Training – Training must mimic reality.  It must be “alive”, dynamic, and against a non-consenting partner.

3.      Preemptive Striking – Your entire arsenal can’t be counters.  In survival situations you need to be able to take the initiative.

4.      Awareness, Safety and Preparation – Often given lip service, few styles teach how to develop these skills.

5.      Control Counters – Counters to grabs, chokes, bear hugs and locks.

6.      Weapon Counters – How to deal with static and dynamic weapon threats.

7.      Ground Combat – Offensive moves and counters when on the ground.  Also, who to attack a standing enemy from the ground, as well as, how to rapidly get to a standing position.

8.      Weapon Use – How to use weapons that can be carried or improvised.

9.      Restraint and Control – These are non-lethal methods for dealing with situations.

10.  Power Development and Target Indexing – All the training will be for naught without properly deployed strikes.
