Here Norm Bettencourt explains the principles of Reality-Based  training of his world-famous TACT Self Defense System

A Reality-Based Street Fighting System Only Takes A Couple Of Days Or Weeks To Learn

Modern-day combative training schools are usually shorter and more intensive. No belts. No tests.  The best reality-based systems in the whole are:

• The TACT Self Defense Company as taught by Norm Bettencourt of Vancouver, B.C. Canada
• The Extreme Measures Fighting System of Christopher “Bob” Roberts of Frankfurt, Germany
• The C.U.T.S (Critical Urban Tactical Strategies) by David D’Antonio of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

These reality-based instructors all ironically have black belts  in some traditional martial arts, but they have longed since modernized their approach and will be the first to say that you don’t need a black belt in order to learn how to street fight in any of their systems.

These Fighting Schools Usually Involve Very Few But Highly Effective And Easy To Execute Techniques

For the streets, you are trained to develop your most important asset, that is, your ability to respond without thinking. In reality-based combative training, less is more. It is much better to learn a handful of 100% effective and easy-to-execute techniques than having your brain try to absorb an encyclopedia of every move possible.

True Reality-Based Fighting Techniques Are Always Taught With Immediate Practicality In Mind

You can learn it today, and were it necessary, use it tonight!

So again, how long does it take to learn self-protection with a qualified reality-based instructor?  Only a day or two for essential self protection techniques.  No more than a couple of weeks for more advanced stuff such as knife or gun disarm.  That’s it.  That’s all it takes, and you are combat-ready and able to take on any threat of the streets.

Are you interested in learning reality-based self-protection?  Let me know with a comment, and I will put you in touch with one of our fighting faculty members to train you.  Thank  you.
