I am former bodyguard (worked in Europe for over 10yrs) and have taught self protection to people from law enforcement, close protection (bodyguard), bouncers, doormen, men, women, etc, from around the world.
Everything I teach comes from real world experience and very little from theory.
I have my own system called IDC Concepts and it stands for Individual Defensive Combatives.
When I teach a class, I don't see a classroom full of students, I see a room full of individuals.
We all think and act differently and that is what I cater to.
I try to operate from your way of thinking, movement and mentality and expound from there.
Example; I may teach you 12 angles of attack.
I let you pick the 4 that work best for you and we expand on those, but, you learn all 12 so you can help someone else, if the need arises.
Also, I am heavy into improvised weapons.
Not everyone wants to carry a gun or a knife, therefore, I will teach you to use what you have around you and on your person.
I have been in the martial arts since the age of 6 and I am well into my 4th decade at this point and I am one of a very small handful of people in my area to have actual real world experience.
My main arts are Krabi Krabong, Kali/Arnis, The Approach Self Protection Method (empty hand and first American to learn) with black belts in 5 different arts as well as being an instructor under the British/EU Combat Assoc for many years.
(one of a very few Americans to do so).

I fight full contact weapons based events (Dog Brothers)
My main reason for doing this is, one- to keep my training on game and , two - how can I teach a self protection move if I haven't put it to the test , myself?
Of course, not everything I do is for everyone I meet.
However, I am very good at adapting for most individuals to achieve the same goals.

Fancy does nothing.
Simplicity builds rock solid foundations.

Groups are welcome as well as 1 on 1 and I can come to you, 90% of the time.
