Building A Martial Art Or Self-defense System

To get from one floor in a house to another, we use stairs

. Perhaps to get from one level of a location outside we use the same...for example, to get from street level to the entrance of a building. In martial arts, we all start at "street level", and must ascend a proverbial staircase to arrive at the goal of defending ourselves effectively.

I have designed a staircase in the system of the Hybrid Fighting Method. I have studied other systems, and compiled all the available information, streamlined it, and added some of my own original techniques to create a defensive tactics system that allows you to defend yourself easily and effectively.

Now, if HFM was a staircase - I have found it to be the perfect slope, have the perfect step frequency, and each step being the perfect dimension to allow the most efficient staircase navigation. But what happens when someone comes along whose stride is different than mine? Their legs are longer or shorter, they weigh less or more, etc. Another staircase must be built, or the existing one altered, to make it most efficient for them. No one staircase is perfect for everybody, because everybody is different.

So it is also in the martial arts. I think HFM is incredibly effective, but it is not THE answer...nor is Target-Focus-Training, or Krav Maga, or Wing Chun, or Muay Thai, BJJ, or MMA, etc.

No one system is the end all be all. I prefer to follow the philosophy of Bruce Lee: "Adopt what is useful; reject what is not, and add to it that which is specifically your own." That is what I have done with HFM.

Also, there is no instructor that is God's gift to the self-defense world. I really respect guys like Tony Blauer who have no ego, and recognize that they are only human. Don't get me wrong, Tony is a genius in my mind when it comes to defensive tactics, but he is honest about his shortcomings...and in fact, films all his dvds live and unedited so that all the mistakes are included. That takes balls...to be transparent like that.

I am not a god or the son of a god. I am not the mystical ninja offspring of a unicorn and a virgin. I was never in the special forces, or even the army. But I have seen violence. I have dealt with it firsthand on multiple occasions. And I have trained for 18 years collectively in different systems. I am human, but I have used my human brain to bring you HFM.
