The world of self defense can be complex, and difficult to navigate. BJJ Black Belt Craig Funk looks to provide an easy-to-learn and easy-to-follow system to stay safe in the most commonly used attacks and scenarios people encounter in real-world altercations. Fine tune your fundamentals and prepare yourself from a variety of attacks by limiting your attacker’s options, and maximizing your own!

Craig starts the series with discussing how to manage distance. If you know what your attacker’s options are you can better prepare for them. You will learn a simplistic approach to managing space, closing the distance, and securing a takedown against aggressive attackers. The series doesn’t teach a million moves, but does cover a step-by-step system that limits what your attacker can do while you control the fight. This helps you consistently stay out of danger, and allows you to systematically work to more dominant positions. 

The series covers common striking scenarios like the haymaker, front kick, and round kick. Here you can use the same distance management concepts covered in part 1 to successfully close the distance against an attacker looking to strike you. When you are able to apply the range management concept of the series, every encounter will be easier to manage.

The last two sections of the series will prepare you for a variety of grabs, chokes, headlocks, and more. While we like to be as prepared as possible, the reality of real-world self defense is that you can be attacked with no warning. Here, Craig Funk looks to uncover the secrets to surviving surprise attacks with consistent, repeatable techniques that focus on leverage, timing, and technique instead of strength. Build confidence in bad positions by practicing efficient ways to escape bad positions. Take your real world self defense skills to the next level with Craig Funk and his 4-part series!
