This system was established as a creative facility that can be utilized anywhere as a way that recognizes ones innate ability to utilize the body's natural movement as an effective offensive,defensive tool whilst engaged in combat or as a means of providing an escape. This system recognizes that physical encounters are thrust 
with chaos of any kind - therefore awareness of self and environment are to the fore with a choice based on a reaction to maximize survival at all costs, even if it meant being humiliated in the face of provocation - as " There are no winners only survivors!"The system draws on elements of Boxing,Thai boxing,Military close combat,Submission wrestling,Arnis Eskrima,Aikido,Judo, Jujitsu, Silat and any other element one develops through training,it does not distinguish as to who is superior , seeks equality and empowers practitioners to believe in their own natural ability.
