Basic Combat System B.C.S.
Basic Combat System
1. Core Concept: The core concept of the Basic Combat System is to provide a maximum level of Protection and Offensive Capability in the most intuitive and easy to learn Package available. The Basic Professional Course is designed to teach in 8 hours. In a martial arts school or fitness facility it can be achieved in a 3 month program 2 times per week in a one hour or 45 minute format.
2. The basic stance is focal point of the BCS. The basic stance denies the enemy viable target areas, making grappling attacks on the defender difficult, while maintaining a position from which powerful strikes and counters are accomplished directly with speed and power. From the Basic Stance fast take-outs or submissions are readily available.
3. Strikes are easy to learn and they deliver stopping power that sets up the enemy for submissions or fast take-outs. Strikes work as blocks and blocks as the strikes. It is a much more efficient method than the block and strike, or block and counter approach’s that are widely taught.
4. Every movement takes the operator closer to a conclusion. There is no in and out back and forth; it is all about close and DONE.
5. Controls are simple and direct and are designed to be effective even for smaller operators/officers.
6. Take downs are fast and culminate in control positions. There no more take-downs and fighting for control. Ground fighting skills are not really effective for operators, since there are usually multiple targets, or adversaries.
7. Take-outs are taught as last ditch efforts for civilians and officers.
8. Multiple Attackers are assumed from the beginning of the training and are handled with tactical footwork and great structure.
9. Foot work is natural and becomes second nature quickly, it is simple enough that it becomes second nature even from the beginning of the training.
10. Kicks are to control the lower regions of the body through: balance disruption, Structure compromise (breaks), jamming and sweeps.
11. Putting the Basic Combat System together for complete integration happens with games, drills that are designed to create a sensory overload, so that the techniques by pass the conscious mind and are integrated into one’s muscle memory. This is necessary for the system to function under the extreme stress of combat.
The Basic Combat System is a seamless integration that allows an operator to learn a wide range of skills which go beyond the basic course ranging from Knife combatives, Counter Knife, Pistol, Counter Pistol, and Long Gun Work. Once the BCS is learned modular training is done to increase the useful range skills an operator is able to perform. It is great for conditioning, executive protection, officer training, operator training and for civilians who would like a high speed low drag approach to self protection, with out the long term commitment required to become effective in most martial arts systems.
