"I Discovered Raw Combat International 10 Years Ago
While Looking Online to Enhance My Training.
At that time I had over 15 years of Martial Arts Experience
and was about to be awarded my Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Martial Arts Taught Me A LOT about Self Perfection and I Did Learn How to Fight in a Very Specific Way Over Many Years.
What I Discovered from Day 1 with RCI BLEW MY MIND!
And My Worldview of "Self Defense".
I was Convinced Right Away That This Way is a Comprehensive Approach to Self Protection
as a Mentality and Lifestyle, Not just Moves and Techniques.
Ultimately, I sold my Traditional Martial Arts school to my BJJ students
and now I teach the RCI system to Government Departments, Agencies, Organizations and Civilians.
In a Very Short Amount of Time Our Clients and Students Learn Effective Self Protection and Skills and Tools that I Refer to as "Beyond Martial Arts".
Things like Preventative Measures, Communication Skills to De-Escalate, Situational Awareness and Similar Topics are Not Easily Found in Martial Arts.
I Now Have People Coming to Me Weekly Looking for Effective Street Applicable Self Protection Because They Don't Believe Traditional Martial Arts Provides This!
Much of Martial Arts is Either Sport Driven, Highly Complex, Requiring a Long Term Commitment and/or Not at ALL Applicable for Real Life Violent Encounters.
I Firmly Believe that Raw Combat International is the Most Comprehensive, Applicable, Realistic and Effective Approach to Real Life Self Protection and Personal Safety Available!
I Value My Martial Arts Training, Which Required a Lifelong Investment,
but for the Average Person who wants to Effectively Protect Themselves and Their Loved Ones,
Raw Combat International is the answer!
Our motto is "Anything can happen to Anyone, Anywhere at Anytime, Train Accordingly".
