Ever wonder why Hock has about 40 seminars a year in 9 different countries for the last 14 years? With little to almost no advertising? Why he sees over 1,500 citizens, cops and soldiers each year? How and why is he still around, still thriving while others come, go and disappear? One answer is simple - his unique approach and his pragmatic, event-based, practical, tactical material.
"Hello and welcome to my hand, stick, knife and gun training webpage. A model, a mission statement since I gave birth in 1996 to this congress of systems and ideas was to "bridge the gap between the military, the police, the martial artist and the aware citizen." Each group knows things about fighting that the other doesn't.
A lot has happened that inception in 1996. I have taught and worked with many experts worldwide. I have learned and experimented a lot with about 40 seminars a year in 9 different countries as far away as South Africa, Australia, the Philippines, Europe...
I am constantly on the hunt for pragmatic, tactical and practical material to improve training and performance. Your performance. This is all about you, your shape, your size, your age, your strength. You. I am here to inspire not confine you into some cookie-cutter, one-size -fits-all myth.
All fights and combat are highly, highly situational. We live in a mixed weapon's world and a mixed peoples world with rules of engagement and use of force issues. It's complicated, but often can be simplified within the right enlighted framework.
I have crafted this special, critical framework that offers basic, advanced and expertise physical and psychological skills that work for citizens, the military and the police. When you strip it all down to the bare essence of combat, you find the real truth for all. All we need to do next is customize some of the "before, during and after" steps to gear it for each group as needed. Mixed weapon fighting in standing, kneeling, seated and on the ground. A seamless blend. You fight where you fight.
Hand, stick, knife, gun. These are the categories of combat in the modern world of close quarter conflict. Depending upon the person or the country, I do hear people wishing to “take a pass” on a category. “Oh, I don't like guns.” Or, “I'll never have a knife.” Aside from the facts that all kitchens and restaurants are chock full of knives, someone simply cannot neglect or ignore any one category. Knowledge of survival mandates your familiarity with each subject. You are all-in or you are all-out! Like it or not.
We fight enemy soldiers and criminals. They use these things against us. We counter their threats and attacks. They welcome our fear, our misunderstandings, our timidity and our ignorance. They thrive and breed in your reluctance and hesitation. " - Hock
