Real Street Fighting Moves

The is one of the first movements taught in the URBAN Military Combatives Program.

This technique is meant to assist the student with developing a more aggressive nature to close with an opponent and end the fight.

What makes this program different from the others out there is only our way of training. We develop Propreoceptive Responses created by our scenarios and realistic drills that goes way beyond the theory of muscle memory.

We develop adaptive, critical thinking skills in the survival mindset.

When executing this technique, the first thing one must remember is to not “Fall in Love” with the technique. Allow yourself the adaptability you need to survive, and just add this movement to your toolbox by working with a live resisting partner until it becomes second nature in feel.

We do not promote the “greatness” of our name or instructors. We do our best to develop each individual student. The students, not the “experts” are what counts in the URBAN Military Combatives Program.

Our instructors are extremely experienced and very competent, however, they are committed and focused on the student’s understanding and development.

Master D’Antonio demonstrates windpipe manipulation and destruction.

You are walking through the parking garage after a long day of work with nothing on your mind except getting home and enjoying an evening with your wife and kids.

As you get near your vehicle out pops a thug not only demanding your wallet, but you can tell from his sweaty brow, shaking hands and fast paced elevated speech that this guy is out for your life as well!

Scenario #1 (A Traditional Martial Arts Response)

Immediately you begin to go over all of the new techniques in your brain that you learned in class, and decide on your latest technique.   So, you take to the air and launch into your spinning hook kick you learned last week in your Tae Kwon Do class.

As your back is expose during this fancy spin, the thug pounces and pushes you to the ground, stabbing you repeatedly until the paramedics find you on the ground in a pool of blood.

Scenario #2 (A Reality-Based Fighting Response)

You are walking through the parking garage after a long day of work with nothing on your mind except getting home and enjoying an evening with your wife and kids.

As you get near your vehicle out pops a thug, not only demanding your wallet, but you can tell from his sweaty brow, shaking hands and fast paced elevated speech that this guy is out for your life as well!

This scum-bag gets into your personal space, and as he does,  you launch a quick offensive, striking with an open hand to the throat and grabbing onto his windpipe crushing and squeezing, latching on like a pit bull!

He drops to his knees as you hold on, and begin to deliver hammer fists to the base of his skull and knee strikes to the face.

Congratulations, you get to spend the night with your family and enjoy a nice dinner!

When dealing with a violent encounter, it is important to immediately neutralize the threat.

Decisive and debilitating counter offensive techniques need to immediately accomplish either the disruption of respiratory or circulatory system function, or both!

I will speak briefly on respiratory system disruption through the use of windpipe manipulation.

Windpipe manipulation can be accomplished through several means. I will detail three:

1:  Striking Trauma: Use open handed blows to cause shock and choking. Done with minimal effort, the windpipe will collapse thus causing unconsciousness and/or death.

2:  Digital Pressure: Use finger or thumb pressure into the cavity either to the side of the Adam’s apple or to the jugular notch, causes choking, panic, can easily drop the aggressor setting them up for follow up counter offensive attacks.  This will also cause unconsciousness when applied with proper force.

3:   Crushing: Grasping and squeeze behind the windpipe.  This cause internal rupturing, choking, almost immediate unconsciousness and/or death.

Respiratory System Disruption is a very effective tool for immediate threat neutralization – in a life and death encounter!

As Always!
Be Safe & KEEP IT REAL!
