Common sense self defense street combat has been designed to meet the needs of today's environment. CSSD-SC is not a particular way or style of martial art or fighting. It IS principles of motion tied into conceptual patterns that are tempered by the complex legal liabilities of our current society. CSSD/SC then takes the conceptual patterns of motion and establishes a framework that allows one to see the conceptual usage of those patterns. CSSD-SC allows for the students to grow within them selves with universal concepts of offensive and defensive motions. No two students will seem the same for NO TWO PEOPLE ARE THE SAME. By using principles of motion all people can have self defense, for one will absorb what is useful to them and discard that which does not apply.
My style of teaching is to provide students with very few methods as possible to provide a solid core to defend one self from attack.
It has been said, "proximity negates skill" that even a skilled person may be killed in close combat by accident. Most self-defense situations are at close range; an attacker is not going to stand back and duel with you. So, if you want to rely on a knife for self-defense, you had better know how to use it at close range.
