For years I have drawn upon the resources of other instructors, not to 'steal' material, but rather to grow in the right direction. I ALWAYS give credit where it is due and will continue to respectfully draw upon others experience. "We must learn from the past lest we repeat those same mistakes again." As I have done in the past, I will continue to do in the future and refer any client directly to the source if applicable!

I own many printed, audio and video materials by Coach Blauer and have long considered him my goto source. The material he covers, methodology he uses, concepts he covers and principles he conveys are THE truth in combat and have been tested not only by himself, but through countless law enforcement agencies and militaries world wide. Go to his web page and check for seminars in your area. Make the investment in yourself to take his training!

Contemporary Fighting Arts (CFA) is a state-of-the-art offensive-based combat system that is specifically designed for real-world self-defense. CFA is the most sophisticated and pragmatic martial art taught in America because it's designed to provide you - the potential victim - with the most efficient methods possible to avoid, defuse, confront and neutralize both armed and unarmed criminal assailants and to accomplish these acts in the safest manner possible. Unlike other martial arts, Contemporary Fighting Arts dispenses with the extraneous and the impractical and focuses on real-life fighting. (From the About CFA section of the website.) 

I personally own both books and DVD's by Sammy Franco. So far, I would recommend them ALL!

Integrated Defensive Fighting Systems, Inc. (IDFS) is proud to present the Fierce Israeli Guerilla Hand-to-hand Tactics (F.I.G.H.T.) program.

The F.I.G.H.T. program uses the most effective self-defense system available today - Haganah. Haganah is a Hebrew word meaning "defense." The Haganah self-defense system is a complete Israeli Combative methodology based on both Israeli martial arts and Israeli military tactics used by Israeli Special Forces operatives in extremely hostile situations.

The Haganah system (and its components) was born out of a need to enable a state (or person) at a disadvantage - such as size or degree of armament - to defeat an adversary with an advantage.

CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide. Thousands of athletes worldwide have followed our workouts posted daily on this site and distinguished themselves in combat, the streets, the ring, stadiums, gyms and homes. Our program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Our specialty is not specializing. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist.
