Some British Combatives

[Thai Bri]

I rate MT very highly. It has a core of effective techniques, and it trains them in a realistic way. There is a "truth" to MT (like Western Boxing). If it doesn't work for real they don't fanny about pretending that it does.

No nonsense is the order of the day!


I have had no direct experience of this Todd guy, but have heard positive things. If you go you can let me know what it is like.

I think you can go a long way with a few good DVDs, some home equipment and, hopefully, a like minded training partner. Not ideal, but far far better than nowt!

Good luck!

Let me tell you, when the fists are really flying at you, 99% of martial arts techniques are useless. To me its about perfecting a small number of nasty strikes, and then blasting away at the enemy will all out aggression.

Full agreement.

Good! You know your stuff then!

Mick Coup has his own section at this forum

He is always willing to answer questions, and there are already some great posts about his stuff on there.

Enjoy!

Thai Bri,

Thanks for your input regarding combatives and for sharing your thoughts and beliefs. I'm happy that a lot of what I believed in has been reinforced by those with more experience than me in real combat. I will continue to pick your brain though and anybody else who doesn't talk shit.

If I ever get round to doing a seminar or training with Tank Todd then I'll let you know. I'd like to but just don't know when. One of my sergeants at work did a Close Protection course taken by him and he said he was very very good. One of the best in the game it would seem. He would like a few of us to get trained by him for our job, that would be great because then the government can pay for my training hahaha!

”I’m fucking AGGRESSIVE when I’m doing this!”

“If you want to train but are not prepared to get the odd bump and bruise? **** IT OFF!”

“You do that to my finger, you’ll break it. THEN I’LL FUCKING KILL YOU!

Hey KOTF, sound like anyone you know?

This is the best I have found

Saw this on another site:--

By a guy called Bob Spour. Ex SF I believe, and mainly into Thai Boxing. But his CQB isn't like any Thai Boxing I've ever seen.

Only a very brief film, but what do you all think?

WOW!

The FEAR NO PUNCH website was excellent. The videos are about taking your defensive skills to the next level. I ordered the DVD series and this type of training is off the charts. 7 hours of the best illustrated instructional video I have ever learned from. I have to admit that this guy is really bashed on the internet sites, and now I know why, Coal Akida is incredible and makes other fighters and instructors look somewhat shameful, so I understand the hate for him on the internet.

All that aside every aspect of the Zero Fear Impact training program DVD is ground breaking!

I recently read about him training at Fort Carson and found FNP training technology articles in the Colorado Military Times observer. What I have come to understand is people hate what they fear and do not understand.

Although I have not done anything more than get the DVD and review the dvd my conclusions are as follows;

Coal Akida has created an entirely new set of combative skills and training methods and anyone that says different has simply not gotten the DVD period.

I may be only 28 years old but it dose not take a rocket scientist to figure out that Coal Akida has broken new ground with his FNP technology.

I cannot even begin to list the number of New concepts that Coal Akida has developed as each one of them could be a separate topic on their own.

I hope this help others make better decisions in their training programs.

Coal Akida reviewed by someone that got the DVD!

The website is fearnopunch.com and would like to train with anyone Tuscon Arizona.
