Matrix III - Advanced Matrix

This matrix is the beginning of studying from contemporary martial artist who have taken traditional systems and improved upon them in a practical manner.  The main four martial artists in this matrix are included as follows:

    Frank Cucci - a Seal Team combat instructor.
    Joe Lewis - Martial arts champion who introduced real contact into the early arts.
    Chris Clugston - A fighter who took combat Jeet-Kune-Do to the next level.
    Tom Proctor - A cage fighter.

A lot of martial arts instruction is frankly useless in a real situation.  Although we love to practice the "Art" of martial arts it is also important to know what really works in a real fight or self defense situation.  These instructors provide that training and experience from real life situations.  This matrix contains some of their very effective techniques.  As a soft part to this training matrix we do the Qi Gong exercises to catch our breath and balance our energy.  These drills are from the Wei Tuo Qi-Gong system www.weituoqigong.org.  Tapes of many top contemporary fighters listed in the matrix can be ordered from trsdirect.com.

This matrix also goes into weapons defense for both knife and gun.  We learn knife movements in order to learn how to defend against them.  Sometimes we use colored chalk to show knife cuts when learning to defend against knife attacks.  We use guns that shoot soft darts so we know that we have defended properly if the dart does not strike us.  There is no middle ground in these exercises.  You either get out of the way and disarm the attacker successfully or you don't.
