FAQs
-
The bottom lines is that we are protection professionals.
Therefore, we respect the anonymity of our Tribe. Every individual who trains with us deserves privacy while actively working to build a skill set that will help prepare them for emergency scenarios.
So the short answer is no. We do not allow individuals to come in and spectate classes unless they have participated in a Discovery Session and had their identification verified.
We also do not share information with third parties about students or clients, and while we will dutifully comply with a court order, allowing spectators to be present in class and confirming an individual is a student is never disclosed without express consent of that individual. -
We love groundwork! We’ve trained it extensively in fact, including Gracie BJJ (Brazilian Jui Jitsu), Japanese JuJitsu, Hisardut, and Catch Wrestling. However, the reality is the myth of 90% of physical altercations ending up on the ground is not evidence based.
Rather, it was based upon archival research from an anthropological thesis using observation from 100 street fights uploaded to YouTube. There are no verifiable statistics in the Justice Department which indicate this statistic is evidence based.
In fact, being skilled in Brazilian Jui Jitsu or any groundwork does not make you safer on the whole. A multitude of highly skilled BJJ practitioners have been killed during street fights by armed offenders, and most recently a well-known female practitioner was murdered during a domestic violence altercation.
Evidence based violence prevention concepts with an understanding of the timeline of violence, and a solid skill set of both standing and ground defensive training is far more effective than any one competitive sport self defense training. Here in the US we refer to this as defensive tactics, in Israel it is known as Krav Maga or contact combat (English Translation).
In a nutshell, as wonderful as ground training is, it is just not enough. Read more in the blog by Criminal Behavior Analyst, Reneé Rose, a founding partner of the Shaan Saar Group. -
