Is Mixed Martial arts as REAL as it gets?

Damian Ross
The Self Defense Company

The following is a list of illegal activities in the UFC and most Mixed Martial Arts Competition. Contemplate what they prohibit and think about how many you would do in a real fight to protect yourself. Rules are a good thing. They keep everyone safer and away from serious injury or death. But remember… as real as it gets is not real…

Below is a list of fouls in mixed martial arts competition. Next to it is the video series that teaches that technique. Fouls:

  1. Butting with the head. Self Defense Series
  2. Eye gouging of any kind. Self Defense Series and Street Mixed Martial Arts.
  3. Biting. Self Defense Series and Street Mixed Martial Arts.
  4. Hair pulling. Street Mixed Martial Arts
  5. Fish hooking. Street Mixed Martial Arts
  6. Groin attacks of any kind. Street Self Defense and Street Mixed Martial Arts Putting a finger into any orifice or into any cut or laceration on an opponent. Street Mixed Martial Arts
  7. Small joint manipulation. Self Defense Series and Street Mixed Martial Arts
  8. Striking to the spine or the back of the head. Self Defense Series
  9. Striking downward using the point of the elbow. Self Defense Series and Street Mixed Martial Arts
  10. Throat strikes of any kind, including, without limitation, grabbing the trachea. Everything at The Self Defense Company
  11. Clawing, pinching or twisting the flesh. The Entire Close-Combat-Video Catalog
  12. Grabbing the clavicle. Self Defense Series and Street Mixed Martial Arts
  13. Kicking the head of a grounded opponent. The Self Defense Series and Street Mixed Martial Arts
  14. Kneeing the head of a grounded opponent. Self Defense Series and Street Mixed Martial Arts
  15. Stomping a grounded opponent. Self Defense Series and Street Mixed Martial Arts
  16. Kicking to the kidney with the heel. Self Defense Series and Street Mixed Martial Arts
  17. Spiking an opponent to the canvas on his head or neck. Self Defense Series and Street Mixed Martial Arts
  18. Throwing an opponent out of the ring or fenced area. What Arena?
  19. Holding the shorts or gloves of an opponent. Everything at The Self Defense Company
  20. Spitting at an opponent. Everything at The Self Defense Company
  21. Engaging in an unsportsmanlike conduct that causes an injury to an opponent. Everything at The Self Defense Company
  22. Holding the ropes or the fence. If you got one, use it
  23. Using abusive language in the ring or fenced area. Sorry to offend.
  24. Attacking an opponent on or during the break. What break?
  25. Attacking an opponent who is under the care of the referee. What ref?
  26. Attacking an opponent after the bell has sounded the end of the period of unarmed combat. What bell?
  27. Flagrantly disregarding the instructions of the referee. What ref?
  28. Timidity, including, without limitation, avoiding contact with an opponent, intentionally or consistently dropping the mouthpiece or faking an injury. Only if you’re setting a guy up.
  29. Interference by the corner. Street corner?
  30. Throwing in the towel during competition. This is true.

So let’s revisit the question, is Mixed Martial Arts as real as it gets? Maybe it is; when you compare it to boxing.

If you trained with the Self Defense Company would you last very long in the octagon? Probably not.

Would a mixed martial artist last very long with you in the street? Probably not.

Well, there you have it, the choice is yours.

“The Best Self Defense Training I’ve Ever Seen!”

Hi Damian,
I recently received module 1 from the "The Self Defense Training System". To date I would say that the material I received is the best that I have purchased or even seen!  Everything about the product/module is "First Class", product presentation, training content, and the instruction from yourself.  "It definitely is first class"!
How many products are their out there, where firstly you watch a Instructional DVD, you then go onto watch the Practice and Drills DVD and then you are provided with a Training manual that takes you by the hand and shows/tells you how to practice and how to train the drills.  "It could not be any easier". 
"Great work to you and all those involved in this project Damian".  I can not wait until I receive module 2!
Kind Regards and Thank You, 
Andrew Hannah, Northern Ireland, UK.

“BJJ Fighter Finds He Can Still Train Injured”

The Self Defense Training System is great and it's especially timely for me. I've been training BJJ for almost 10 years and I've got a sports hernia that has kept me from any rolling since November. Since I received the SDTS, I've been able to train with your materials even with the injury. I especially like the "how to train" aspect of it.
Best of luck with the program, I'm looking forward to the rest of it.

“Something EVERY Martial Artist Should Know”

I've been watching all night and am on the 3rd cd. I think it's great! It's something every martial artist would feel stupid for not knowing and what others would think is genius.
 I've kind of got to think hard on this, I'm definitely going to keep training. I can’t wait to get to the weapons modules. Thanks for sending the test drive!

"Citizen Puts The Local Crack Dealers In Their Place!"

Dear Damian,
I live a hard life. I watch when I wait for the bus, especially because it is a crack dealer corner.  Last month, two crack dealers, upset at my presence, passed me front to back, and I went into full combat mode!!
One of the dealers then fronted me and mumbled something to my face while I heard the other approach me from the back. I moved instinctively and convulsively as the two men rushed together into the space I made for them.
As I turned to “finish the job” They took one look at me, looked at each other and made tracks! Thanks for sharing your hard earned knowledge.
You are the most realistic fighting teacher on the net.

Sincerely,
Mark Young

"University Student Finds Her Inner Power!"

Dear Damian,
Kudos from Canada! I really like the Self Defense Training System. The demonstrations are practical, can be done and are easy to learn. When you demonstrate power it teaches me how to be powerful.

Thank You, Thank You Thank You!

“Finally a Direct and Honest Approach To Self Defense Training”

Damian,
I wanted to thank you for the excellent information you are sharing in The Self Defense Training System. I had ordered another close combat training course recently and I can honestly say that I learned more from Module 1 “Essential Self Defense” than I did from the entire package of fluff I received from the other company!
Your teaching style is direct, honest and you don't hold back from giving the students more than their monies worth. I compliment you on your ability to take information and break it down into digestible bites that can be learned quickly and easily.
Keep up the good work and again, thank you.
Walter R. Heinze, Arizona

A Brief History Of Martial Arts in the Modern Military

Many martial arts are derived from military combatives; the study of hand-to-hand combat and martial arts in warfare. After all, the term "martial art" means "art of warfare." For example, the sport or judo comes from jujutsu, which comes from samurai grappling, which was part of the training Japanese warriors received as preparation for battle.

Many weapon-oriented martial arts, such as iado, kendo, kyudo and naganata-do originated in schools of martial techniques for warriors. These weapons, the sword, bow and arrow, and pole arm, were the assault rifles and machine guns of their time--the default weapons of military fighters--and as such were key components in combat training.

The Western interest in East Asian Martial arts dates back to the late 19th Century AD, due to the increase in trade between America with China and Japan. Relatively few Westerners actually practiced the martial arts, considering it to be mere performance.

Edward William Barton-Wright, a railway engineer who had studied the martial art Jujutsu while working in Japan between 1894–97, was the first man known to have taught Asian martial arts in Europe. He also founded an eclectic martial arts style named Bartitsu which combined jujutsu, judo, boxing, savate and stick fighting.

William E. Fairbairn, a Shanghai policeman and at the time a leading Western expert on Asian fighting techniques, was recruited during world War II by the Special Operations Executive (SOE) to teach UK, U.S. and Canadian Commando and Ranger forces Jujutsu.

The seminal self-defense book Kill or Get Killed was written by Colonel Rex Applegate, who worked closely with Fairbairn to train the "First Special Service," a joint U.S. and Canadian army unit; it became a classic military treatise on hand to hand combat and created the reality based martial art "Defendu."

Modern variations that can still trace an authentic lineage to Applegate are very few . The undisputed "father" of Modern close-combat is Carl Cestari who had a direct relationship with both Colonel Applegate and WWII self-defense pioneer Charlie Nelson. In 2006 Carl Cestari was named one of the top 10 "Most Dangerous Men On The Planet" by Black Belt Magazine.

Seeing the need to bring these legitimate and proven techniques and method of close-combat back into the Modern world of "hobby" Martial Arts (Karate, Kung Fu, Capoiera, Aikido, etc.) and "sport" Martial Arts (Judo, Brazilian Jui-jitsu, Wrestling, Kick Boxing, Mixed Martial Arts, Ultimate fighting , etc.), one of Cestari’s top students, Damian Ross and his instructors have dedicated their lives to teaching, instruction, and spreading the "truth" about Martial Arts, street fighting, self defense, and close combat.
