Sparology

To become competent at sparring/fighting, ordinary people, like most of our students, need to spend time actually sparring. However, when real contact begins, the attrition rate for school and gyms nation wide is around 80%. With that problem in mind, the actual anatomy of the Sparring/Fight oriented classes has been revolutionized and is now available to you.

Sparology uses unique and cutting edge methodology that teaches School Owners, Instructors and Coaches how to design and implement a safe, fun and effective sparring/fighting in a structured, step-by-step protocol. Sparology systematically addresses each of the problems that tend to plague and ultimately doom a Sparring/Fighting class. By virtue of structuring the classes in a "scaffolded" fashion, that is, in a way that limits the level of contact and progressively adds more resistance as the athlete starts to develop targeted skill sets, athletes have time to develop with confidence and not become frustrated or overwhelmed.

The Sparology structure depends heavily upon participants spending copious time in specific, though limited sparring situations. As the athlete develops in these situations and becomes more competent, more variables are added to the situations such that the athlete is always progressing, but doing so in a strength-based fashion. This lends itself to a very well rounded skill set, but also to a level a comfort that adds to overall program retention.

The actual curriculum of Sparology borrows very heavily from the foundations of Wrestling, Muay Thai and Boxing and steeped very deeply in each of the respective training methodologies. And, as athletes progress through the curriculum, they are exposed to more depth with respect to the mechanics of each of these specific systems, but more importantly begin to map out the parallels between them. This "matrix" allows each athlete to forge a personal pathway or style, and as the old saying goes: "Styles Make Fights!"

From The Ground Up

A groundfighting program designed to tackle the omnipresent self-protection dilemma of ending up on the ground during an altercation. FTGU systematically prioritizes the tools realistically required to get up from the ground during an affray when your attacker seeks to hold you there. FTGU is a three-tiered affiliate program that bridges the gap between being told it is imperative "to get back up" and how to actually accomplish that in real time.

FTGU uses the best of wrestling and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, with an emphasis on re-prioritizing the "goals" for groundfighting, as opposed to the goals for protracted grappling. Essentially, FTGU is the absent modality for Krav Maga practitioners that do not want a sport based grappling program, while recognizing "the need to get wet, in order to not drown."

Hard Ready

Hard Ready is a unique course that was designed to address THE single most important, and non variable component to conflict: Emotional preparedness. Much the same way that we improve ourselves physically, via progressive resistance, we use the same principles to improve ourselves emotionally. To begin to understand Hard Ready, it is imperative to make a fundamental distinction and perhaps a minor correction. Everyone is accustomed to hearing the term "Mental Toughness," but if you delve into the meaning of the phrase, it is not altogether accurate. During times of duress and or conflict, ones mental faculties are not tested. Largely, mental processes remain the same. During these times, it is the emotional processes that are vetted; the "feelings" that we attach to the particular event or events manifest as opposed to mentalness.

Hard Ready uses a series of dietary restrictions and a progressive physical training regiment to tap into ones habits and decision making. At the most seminal level, the habits that we entertain on every day, simple things like what we choose to eat and whether or not we choose to exercise, actually is a gateway to gaining unlimited self control and self mastery. Thus, if one cannot control small daily decisions, in times of more intense nervous system responses (ie. conflict), that person will be far less prepared to deal with higher levels of arousal and stress.

Hard Ready is also very much about addressing our own personal habits and modifying them in small, progress ways to create a compounding effect concerning overall self sovereignty. Ultimately, the ability to control ones emotions is the single most important variable in any situation. A strong connection is made between physical exertion, more specially interval training and the demands placed on human beings under heavy levels of stress. Supplementary reading is also a strong component of the course.

The classroom activities of the Hard Ready Program are designed to harden emotional resolve but also to address the emotional dynamic that pervades actual altercations. Pre-Emptive Striking is the foundation of the actual "fighting" part of the program, though "support system" lessons delve further into the physical anatomy of fighting. A great focus is also put on the most effective fighting systems including Wrestling, Boxing, Muay Thai and BJJ.

Hard Ready: Because 99.999...% of conflict is internal.

Force Tactical Group

The Fight to Fight Force Tactical Group, much like our civilian training, ascribes to the notion that irrespective of the context, fundamental combat skills are a must for physical altercations. And while some special sensibilities and tactics are dealt with in the overarching structure of our Force Training Structure, much of training is rooted in learning to read, appreciate and respond to actual energies that are manifest in any and all situations that entail interpersonal human aggression. Fit to Fight Force Tactical also delves heavily into the stressors that accompany said situations, their emotional and physical byproducts and methods for dealing most effectively with them.
