Street Survival Seminar
Practical Punch Defense and No-B.S. Antigrappling Skills So You Can Protect Yourself and Your Loved Ones — Whether You're on Your Feet or Your Back
There's no denying that New England is a relatively safe area, compared to the rest of the nation.
But that doesn't mean violence happens only in Boston, Springfield, and Hartford.
Rapes, robberies, assaults, and unprovoked attacks are happening all over the Northeast and the United States in general.
Big cities.
Small towns.
And everywhere in between. Including New Hampshire.
In the past few years violent crime has happened more frequently and in more locations than it ever has in decades.
So, the point of all this is to say that ...
Anyone can become a victim, anywhere at any time.
As you can see in the above video of recent urban ambushes, brutal violence happens everywhere.
Often the victim is blindsided by a vicious suckerpunch and — if he's not knocked out by the fall — gets beaten or stomped on as he struggles on the ground.
Basically, the formula is:
> Surprise haymaker
> Fall to the ground
> Eat kicks to the face
So, how do you train to stop a violent attacker from pounding you into the pavement?
Combat sports athletes will tell you to practice Muay Thai, MMA, or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Traditional martial artists will advocate that you study Kung Fu or Karate to learn the "ancient fighting secrets."
Combatives instructors will say you need to train in a reality-based system like Krav Maga to stop a bad guy before he can take you to the ground.
The problem is that each of these instructors can teach you ONLY A PORTION of what's needed to survive a violent urban ambush.
They each have some of the ingredients for self-defense, but not the entire recipe for total personal protection, because ...
On the street, there are no rules, no belt rankings, and no weight divisions.
The What
We here at Tiga Tactics recognize that surviving an urban ambush requires a WELL-ROUNDED approach that works. Not just in theory, but on the streets.
That means having:
- Effective grappling
- Fight-ending strikes
- Practical defenses against the most common attacks
That's why we're combining two of our popular programs — "Punch Defense 1.0" and "Antigrappling" — into one comprehensive event called the Street Survival Seminar.
That's right, you're getting TWO programs for the price of one.
This innovative 2-day, in-person seminar will offer practical and realistic training that's based on science, research, and how criminals ACTUALLY attack.
At our event, you won't find sport-oriented techniques that only work on the mat.
Or flashy-looking combatives that fall apart after realistic pressure-testing.
Or martial arts myths based on outdated traditions.
Instead, you'll learn:
- How to spot the warning signs of an urban ambush
- How to stop a suckerpunch before it can knock you to the ground
- How to stay dangerous if you do end up on your butt
- How to get to your feet quickly (and safely) so you can flee or fight back.
- And how to end a fight with these five primary strikes
And the best part is that this training is safe, fun, and effective.
Who Is This For?
This program is for ANYONE who's serious about learning how to survive the most common street-attack scenarios: a surprise suckerpunch and the resultant ground battle after you've been knocked down.
-
CIVILIANS: Whether you're a security guard working a dangerous assignment or a soccer mom who wants to know how to fend off a rapist, this 2-day event will give you the skills, the drills, and the will to get you home safely.
-
POLICE & MILITARY: The seminar is ideal for members of law enforcement and the armed forces who might find themselves in situations where they've been caught off guard in bad-breath distance and can't deploy their firearm in time.
- MARTIAL ARTISTS & COMBAT SPORTS ATHLETES: This program will be a good for boxers, grapplers, and martial artists who already have experience in the ring or on the mat, but are looking for a realistic perspective on how to apply their system in a street attack.
