If we need to enter, we utilize John Perkins’ version of WWII Combatives because it’s faster, easier to learn and provides far better protection than Western Boxing and all other variants of sport fighting.
If that’s not a possibility and you carry a concealed weapon, you have enough space and distance to draw your weapon and shoot your attacker in the head. It’s ridiculous to fight someone in a sparring manner if they have superior strength and reach, which is the reason why they have weight classes during these sporting events.
You could take the absolute best welterweight in existence and put him against an untrained man the size of an offensive lineman and he’ll get completely destroyed if he tries the methods taught in sport fighting.
Please do not ever let anyone give you the mistaken impression that those physical factors are not vital in a fight.
While KCD negates the physical advantages of the various sportive systems, those athletic individuals will most likely absorb the principles of KCD even faster than the non-athletic.
It Takes 2 to Clinch Because we don’t spar, which we view as any fighting where you are at a range when eye-hand coordination is the predominant factor, we need to once again think in terms of our Sphere of Influence.
Though this is not a comprehensive description of every possible clinch, the primary clinch and transition you see in MMA and even some street fighting is the over-under clinch in which both parties pummel to get to the double-under hooks position.
The Fatal Flaw of Clinching Most fighters, skilled or not, do not yield in this range.
Cung Le, who I mentioned in the Attackproof FAQ, was the most dominant fighter in the history of San Shou.
In many of his fights, as he and his opponent would clinch, he’d simply utilize his sensitivity to feel the tension of his opponents, which he would immediately use as handles to throw or slam them to the ground.
Though we completely disagree with Cung Le’s method of fighting since we oppose any form of entanglement for self defense purposes, it underscores an important point.
Actually Working the Principles, Not Just Talking About Them There are practically no other schools that teach these principles in a systematic and proper manner so that almost any dedicated student can absorb them without spending half of their lives in training.
Very often, they’ll discover one or two principles and go on to stylize their entire system around these principles at the expense of others.
Devotion to Style Limits Freedom of Action More than likely however, they simply have no method of developing the principles, even though they may be consciously aware of them.
So often you can go into a school and only the instructor/s can actually fight, while the students have no combat proficiency whatsoever.
The goal of Guided Chaos is to take you to the level of mastery of these principles which will automatically give you the ability to filter out incorrect methods and evaluate your own training, regardless of system, style or body type.
Where people go wrong in many internal systems such as Tai Chi, Wing Chun and Ba Gua is that they forget about fighting and focus on flowing or the developed pattern movements as in Wing Chun, which restricts their freedom of action.
Many of their practitioners may develop good body unity and sensitivity but they never learn how to apply it in a real fight because they don’t know how to transpose the skills into their fighting arsenal.
To varying degrees the internal principles of Guided Chaos can be utilized to enhance the movement of any system, even sport fighting and it already has.
The difference lies in the fact that the tools we utilize are from WWII Combatives and end the fight as soon as possible because our focus is self defense.
