 YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN... 

City says cops had no duty to protect subway hero who subdued killer

Number one...Forget the adage that when seconds count the police are only minutes away...Here the police were right there at the scene and did nothing until it was over and took credit for taking down the bad guy when it was the victim who took down the bad guy...Number two...Having better awareness and fighting technique could have saved the victim from some if not all of his wounds....Not to mention possible cowardice on the part of the officers present...By the officer's own account in court he did not get involved because he was afraid that the man who was actively stabbing the victim might have had a gun.......Simply Amazing...JP
 


 "WHAT WOULD I HAVE DONE?"

We're collecting youtube videos of violent attacks, fights, etc. If you come across any, please send us links. Find out what GM Perkins might have done...or did do...in a similar situation.

  "This Ain't Your Daddy's Iron Palm Bag!"

 
  GUIDED CHAOS™ BRANDED SLAMBAGS 

 
  Develop accurate, crushing, hand power for strikes and gouges

"As soon as I began using it, I was HOOKED! ...I have long practiced grasping/striking activities against heavy bags and using different hand grips - round balls, piston push grips, etc. However, the Slam bag supersedes ALL of these in my opinion. It does it ALL and more. Just passing it from left to right hands and clawing it - either sideways or pancake style helps create strength and coordination...I even surprised myself at how overwhelmed I was as soon as I started using it." --David H. Smith, Student of Professor Bradley Steiner
 
Instead of "toughening" your hands with a typical iron palm bag and possibly developing painful arthritis as well as thick, ugly, useless callouses, why not turn your hand strikes into "smart bombs" so that all your chops, punches, gouges, rips and tears explode with devastating crushing power and dead-on, free-form timing and accuracy! (The most overlooked qualities in hand weapon development).
The Guided Chaos method of strike training using Dropping Force greatly improves hand strength, timing, balance, and sudden impact power while simultaneously developing your tissue and tendon strength without creating ugly and useless "makiwara" callouses. Get your tough, tan, double-stitched cowhide SLAMBAG with the GC logo hot-branded on both sides and start hitting like a jackhammer.

KILL THE ENEMY:
Close Quarters Combat
for U.S. Military Personnel

"The Kill the Enemy video is the greatest work of modern combat of our time!
In the dirty bloody world of real combat there are no second place winners. In combat there is only Kill and come home. John trains you for just such an encounter. There is nothing in the world that can ever prepare you for the harsh cold reality of combat, but John Perkins has found a way to bridge the gap between school and real world no-holds-barred REALITY!"
--Captain Jonathan Edwards, 101st Airborne/Air Assault


POLITICALLY INCORRECT
HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT...?

 
In 1989, the RUSSIANS instituted a hand-to-hand combat methodology that far surpassed ours in terms of SIMPLICITY and EFFECTIVENESS. Ironically, it was nearly IDENTICAL to the system OUR military used--BACK IN WORLD WAR II!! WHAT HAPPENED?!!

Through a political process too convoluted and distressing to elaborate on here, over the years, our soldiers' hand-to-hand training has become convoluted, mis-directed, and relatively ineffective except under "sportive  or "competitive" (i.e. unrealistic) conditions.

KILL THE ENEMY is a simple video guide that does away with the boxing-grappling-locking nonsense that has become the "politically correct" standard of training for our soldiers in recent years. Instead of subjecting our military personnel to methods that could get them killed, Master Perkins and Lieutenent Colonel Ridenhour USMC provide basic, effective methods proven in World War II. Distilled from Part 1 of our book ATTACK PROOF, these strategies (Guided Chaos Combatives) are the basic tools that John Perkins' Guided Chaos builds upon. Topics include:

  • Comparison: US vs. Russian Hand-to-Hand Training
  • The Myth of Grappling
  • Defensive/Offensive Posture
  • Basic Hand Strikes
  • Bag/Dummy Training/10 Seconds of Hell
  • Wrestling the Rifle
  • Covering Your Back
  • A Fantasy Knife Fight
  • Rear Choke Scenarios
  • Ground Fighting Fantasies
  • Conclusion: History Doesn't Lie!

CAN YOU SURVIVE ON THE GROUND?
 
groundfighting myth for women
The Fantasy:

A 100 pound woman can fight off a 200 pound man from the Guard position (much less mount him for a "ground and pound"!)

                 ...ARE YOU SURE?
 
tied up
 
Do you really want to be l
ocked tight to a dangerous enemy-- who may have weapons or accomplices ready to kick your brains in?
Do you really want to Mount or go into the Guard position against someone bigger and stronger than you?
If you're a woman, can you REALLY grapple with a stronger man...and live to tell about it?

There is a world of difference between competitive submission fighting
with rules and elite athletes...
...and real, life-and-death self-defense for REGULAR people,
where the only rule is chaos.
DON'T BET YOUR LIFE ON A SPORT!
The built-in restrictions on your training
could short-circuit your reactions and get you killed if the
spit hits the fan.

 


GUIDED CHAOS GROUNDFIGHTING:
MODIFIED NATIVE AMERICAN COMBAT

2 DISC DVD SET
MODIFIED NATIVE AMERICAN COMBAT

 
groundfighting

We focus on:
 
Takedown defeat


Evasion
Ground Mobility
Ground Kicking
Ground Avoidance
Multiple Attackers
Knife Attacks
Penetrating defenses and striking to the eyes and throat
OUR CRITICS SAY:

"We can hit the eyes and throat too, so what's the difference?"


The difference is that we're better at it--as well as defending against it, because both require Sensitivity and Adaptation--something we train exclusively.

YOUR INSTRUCTORS:

GM Perkins
Former forensic crime scene expert
John Perkins:

Perkins has trained in Native American "Anything Goes" fighting principles since the age of 5. Over a period of 20 years he combined it with experience gained from over 100 extremely violent arrests (where people routinely ended up in the hospital or morgue), unsanctioned pit-fighting, World War II Close Quarters Combat, the internal aspects of tai chi and the ancient Greek combat art of Elephtheri Pali. In 1978, he formally created Ki Chuan Do and the principles of Guided Chaos [in1998 he officially changed the name of the art itself to Guided Chaos]. Unlike the "fight-by-the-numbers" self-defense methods popular today, the Groundfighting component of GC is probably unlike anything you've ever seen before.

BARE HANDS TO HAND GUNS

You can be the best target shooter in the world but if you can't fight HAND-TO-HAND at CLOSE RANGE you will never even GET to your gun. Worse, you could be shot with your own weapon! And if you get the microsecond to draw, traditional Isosceles or Weaver stances could get you killed.

Blitz magazine article on Guided Chaos Australia Seminar
"
Let me start by saying I thought I'd seen all that the world of 'reality-based self defence' had to offer, so for the easily bored out there, I'll cut to the chase. What I witnessed on the weekend of 26 and 27 March is the closest thing I've come across that resembles a modern-day, reality-based martial art and not just another 'combatives system'. Does it work? Hell, yeah! I got my arse well and truly kicked and at times felt like I was in the middle of a Jason Bourne fight scene."
--Clive Girdham, former Senshido and Geoff Thompson instructor [excerpted from the exclusive review of the Guided Chaos Australia Seminar in the Aug. print edition of BLITZ MAGAZINE: Australia's #1 Martial Arts magazine volume 25, issue 6

"Guided Chaos is the only training in my 15 plus years of Corrections that translates into real world application, period."
---Bob Miller, Corrections Officer at the largest facility in Oregon

"Guided Chaos is the only thing that has worked for me in real life situations. Unless you are 6'3" and 285 lbs of muscle, most of the Defensive Tactics stuff (ok all of the Defensive Tactics stuff) will get you hurt. And even if you are that big and strong, there is always someone bigger and stronger and there may be a lot of them. Nothing like dealing with one guy and it turns into a free for all with all his buddies. This is where you literally need to 'adapt or die' and Guided Chaos is the only training in my 15 plus years of Corrections that translates into real world application, period.

"If I had to pick only one martial arts system in the world it would be Guided Chaos..."
--Dr. Robert L. O'Block founder and publisher of the American College of Forensic Examiners International, American Board for Certification in Homeland Security

 

"...through watching videos put out by attackproof.com, and by
reading Attackproof, the book, I have learned real survival skills.
These skills have been learned...at an exponentially higher practical
yield-per-hour training rate than any other martial art classes or
seminar I've ever attended, or ever even heard rumor of."
--Matthew Shoener, Police Officer, Scranton, PA
 


"The Companion Video Part One is stupendous!
A godsend of detail for out-of-state practitioners."
--Mark from Chicago
