There is a new style in the martial arts community. This new style is titled “Reality Based Self Defense”. Also known as Combatives, Reality Based Self Defense systems base themselves on situations that occur in your everyday life. Most of the skills and techniques learned here at CQCNY revolve around awareness, mindset, re-action time and preforming techniques that use simple gross motor skills. This makes it easy to learn whether you are a novice or an advanced student. 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 schools that wear martial arts GI’s, our training is based on real events. When will you be wearing a GI outside the dojo? So why train in one? Keeping things 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. We are training to learn how to protect our family and loved ones, not to move up in ranks.
We train incorporating real life scenarios, behavioral psychology, physiology and proven scientific research as our main focal points. 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!
