CQCNY was started due to the lack of knowledge and realistic training in today’s self defense and martial arts schools. Nowadays, criminals are so fast, lethal and willing to do whatever it takes to to get what they want and get away with ease. In order to stop an attacker of this nature you need to learn the skills and awareness techniques to de-escalate the situation or just GET AWAY!  
 
At Close Quarters Combat New York, you will learn to stop an attacker using a variety of combative techniques and defensive weapon programs.  You will also learn the psychology and combative mindset needed in order to make the defense techniques work.
There is a new style in the Martial Arts Community.  This new style is titled “Reality Based Self Defense”. Also known as RBSD, Reality Based Self Defense systems base themselves on situations that occur in your everyday life. RBSD also takes into consideration environment, using weather and low light areas as two large factors. Most of the skills and techniques learned in RBSD revolve around awareness, mindset and re-action, and preforming techniques that use simple gross motor skills. This makes it easy to learn whether you are a novice or advanced. Military and law enforcement use these types of training methods because they sometimes have very little time to teach the criteria. So they rely on simple but highly effective gross motor skill movements and strikes.
 
Unlike your Traditional Martial Arts (TMA) schools that wear martial arts GI’s, RBSD training is based on real events. When will you be wearing a GI outside the dojo? So why train in one? RBSD trains in your every day street or work clothes. Keeping it as real as possible during training will result in a much easier task should you be confronted by an attacker or put in a bad situation. Training is also often informal and in a more relaxed environment. There are no belts or ranking systems, so everyone is equal.
 
RBSD trains using real life scenarios and psychology as its main focal point. We act out roles and situations that go on in our lives each and everyday. Replica edged weapons, guns and sticks are also used in training. You are then faced with scenarios that include multiple attackers, force on force fighting and high stress environments. All this while building your combative mindset and intent.
 
If you are interested in learning skills that will work in the streets and the traditional martial arts styles aren’t for you, then CQCNY’s Reality Based Self Defense courses are right up your alley. Contact us today to learn more!

Many people ask me. Ryan, what does “Anger is a Gift” mean? They seem put off by it and think it sounds mean and nasty. My motto is “Hit with Anger”. Anger and aggression are your two best friends during an attack. If you don’t cause enough damage to the attacker in order to get away to safety then you are in a very bad situation. So we need to hit with everything we have. Strength, speed, precision, timing, aggression and last but not least ANGER. If this is a life an death situation you need to understand that it’s you or the attacker. So think about how that would make you feel. All your emotions and adrenaline will be pumping through your body. This person is trying to take you away from everything that you love. This will cause a feeling of indignation and at this point you should be filled with anger. We then convert this anger into our strikes so they are much more powerful and actually work. If you don’t hit with anger and aggression you might as well not fight back at all.
