Welcome to COMBAT SENSE

Combat Sense is about learning the most effective and logical ways to defend oneself from various situations. Our instructions are based from the science of human actions and reactions and the awareness of possible attacks and counters. We take into consideration the mind set of an attacker and the most likely actions and response to various counters. The first steps in preparing oneself for defense, is Awareness.

There are many martial arts out there that are teaching sport or traditional art forms which are all very beneficial to the practitioners, but if they wish to teach reality based self defense, they must include Combat Sense.

The Combat Sense Show

The Combat Sense Show is a series which demonstrates and explains the most effective actions and reactions to deal with various self defense encounters. This format allows people to have direct knowledge which will inform and educate them on many of the mistakes people make while attempting to defend themselves. Unfortunately many martial arts are teaching reactions and counters that will most likely get the average person seriously injured or even worse. Some may view this as "Myth Busters" for Martial Arts, because the demonstration will show you what will happen if you try some of these compromising self defense techniques.

This series is the most comprehensive reality based show that covers areas such as; Close Quarter Confrontations, Defending against Control Grabs, Attacks from behind, Defending against Kickers, Defending from a Seated Position, and Defending against a Knife.

Each show is approximately 30 minutes long and can be viewed at the Martial Arts Channel or purchased online in DVD format. Each DVD has 2 shows / episodes and we have included 5 - 10 minute clips for your personal viewing on the left .
