THE REAL ADVANTAGE: As Bill Shaw often explains, “It’s not really about the technique itself – basic, or advanced. It’s about all the stuff that you can’t see.” He’s talking about all the neglected critical details. Those key elements that no one ever explained to you (or maybe you just need to be reminded), that determine the dependable effectiveness of ANY fighting technique or strategy.

THE TRUTH IS: It’s the awareness and keen understanding of those key details, along with proper training and an enhanced mindset that will make the biggest difference in Who Walks Away from a Brutal Street Attack... and Who Is Left, In Paralyzing Agony, Face Down, In a Pool of Their Own Blood! Sorry to be so graphic – but ultimately, it’s what you’re here to AVOID! Right?

THE FAMOUS JIM HARRISON once said, “Most men, kid themselves into thinking that they can protect themselves, at least 10 times better than they actually can.” Unfortunately, that includes most martial artists, even Black Belts, and far too many Instructors. Don’t be one of them!

NO MATTER HOW LONG YOU’VE TRAINED: If you don’t learn the right things, and train in the right way, with the right mindset, your odds of defending yourself (or your family) against the real violence of an Experienced Street Thug or one of the Bad Guy Martial Artists out there – is Slim-to-None! What you need, is to know what they know and be able to do what they do – and be better at it. More importantly though, you need to know things they don’t - and be able to do things they can’t. After all, and naturally, that kind of advantage is what you‘ve been looking for since the beginning- Right? It’s also why you’re still reading this - Right?

FIXING THE FOUNDATION: In addition to the advanced topics – We’ve included “Advanced Master Class” presentations. These fill in key points that are usually missing when standard techniques are taught. They explain how to increase the effectiveness of your standard techniques and are full of corrective, motivating, “advantage gaining” skills, and rare insights.

THE REASON for including basic skills along with the Advanced Secrets, is not that we don't think you know what they are, or how to do them. The reason these are included is to be sure to cover things that might have been left out of your training. Things like Skeletal Structures, Positioning, Trajectory Paths, Impact Angles, Alignments, Kinesiology, Extension, Rhythms, Cloaking, Speed, Power, Timings, and Distances – just to mention a few. Sadly though, these terms get bounced around in classes all the time. Unfortunately, most people don’t really understand what they actually mean, much less how to use them.
