As you all know I have been working on our Rapid Responce System, that is a knife based self protection program, well good news is I have nearly finished it.
It is simple and easy to learn. And some of you have been lucky enough to have seen it in it's developing stages, so you guys and gals should be able to pick it up no problem.
Those that have'nt, well what can I say apart from see you soon 
Best regards
Pat |

Against the dagger (anti-stab programme) using 6 escapes, 6 contols, for different circumstances with self defence in mind.
Then we use the 6 esacpe techniques into 6 controls for differing circumstances, with the use of lock flow as a finishing off technique.
You know it, but not in the simplified order that I teach it for it's purpose of self awareness/protection.
I am working on simplifying the locks for Joe Public, so any crtiticism or input is welcome.
Unless you are sitting in the corner giggling with your girlfriend that is, Peter. Then I will just ignore everything you say  .
Best regards

Well done on the Rapid Response System mate. I was lucky enough to experience it in it's developing stages, brilliant! An Anti-Stab programme is what people need, not a stab programme like the one that's on the market at the moment that will CLEARLY get you stabbed.  |

Well, just working on the 6 lock flow bit and what order to show them in, so I may well be experimenting with them when I am up at yours next week. I have about 4 versions at the moment and trying to suss out which will be the best ones to keep. And if all goes well you will be the first to know, and who knows the first Rapid Responce Instructor outside the O'Malley Caln that is.
Best regards

Been playing with the Rapid Response since you showed me it and am liking it more and more each time I work it.
I gave one of the other Kenpo dan grades a knife and told him to come at me as hard as he could, and of all the techniques I tried (and there were a few!) The Radpid response was about the most succsessful.
Keep up the good work and innovations

Well you and others who have seen it, please keep on pressure testing it and give me any feedback you have good or bad.
Best regards

Hi Pat
Great to witness the Rapid Response System yesterday.
Very well structured, practical and easy to learn. This is a refreshing change from some other systems that are likely to get the defender seriously injured or killed!

Cheers mate, glad you liked it. I think it is now 99% there. Mind you I am sure it will always just be 99% there as who knows what I will see tomorrow that can improve it.

hey ho
your rapid response system,being of a knife based
self protection program does this also include pressure testing the physical skills under a reality
based environment?.
(1) breaking out of the comfort zone & testing the
physical skills while wearing everyday clothing.
(2) adrenal-stress:being verbally abused to induce
the simulation of adrenaline or practising your skills
in defusing a verbal confrontation,while trying to focus on your surroundings for other danger.
(3)having a untrained,uncoordinated individual test the training methods by attacking in a unrehearsed
chaotic fashion that mirrors everyday attacks,in a low light or no light outdoor environment when it
could be raining or practising the skills while trying
to simultaneously protect a student (whom cannot fight back) from two/three attackers.

Hey Brother,
Good 1st time question.I will have a attempt at answering your question to the best of my knowledge .Im sure Pat will correct me if I am wrong.
czaric-nz wrote: your rapid response system,being of a knife based self protection program does this also include pressure testing the physical skills under a reality based environment?.
The Rapid response system as far as I am aware is and was structured for the average civilian to use right here and right now(It can still be used for the security/army type personel,It would be more specific environment testing) and to coincide with the stick principles and concepts of Rapid Arnis.I would think it would be up to each individual instructor on how far pressure testing the physical skills under a reality based environment would be.For example Just like you learn the 12 basic blocks with no pressure and you can afford to make mistakes ,once you are confident with blocking and understand the body mechanics of moving and blocking,we up the intensty and speed of the strike (and change other elements,once the student is confident)you have to block.So the adrenalin and fear /confidence factors all kick in.

At the moment most of my guys, don’t have a uniform, so they wear everyday clothing. Im sure most RA clubs have a day training together(out side normal club times) just wearing everyday clothing.
czaric-nz wrote: (2) adrenal-stress:being verbally abused to induce the simulation of adrenaline or practising your skills in defusing a verbal confrontation,while trying to focus on your surroundings for other danger.
I personally don’t think this aspect is incorporated for the average civilian to a certain extent.The reason being is The Rapid response system as far as I am aware is and was structured for the average civilian to use right here and right now.The verbal abuse type training your thinking of is more geared to the security/army type personal that have to put up with verbal Bs from low lifes on a daily basis.I do believe some members of RA are in the security type work,so there rapid response training may incorporate the verbal abuse training.Again I think it comes down to each individual instructor and who the Rapid response system is specificly aimed for ie:are the students average civilians or security type students?.

I think my answer to your 1st question, comes here as well. I hope I have answered your question Brother,Please keep in mind I have not trained in the Rapid Response system and my reply is just on my belief and I hope im on the right track with my answer Pat?
Im sure the rapid response system will be filtered into our RA training brother,Once Brother Clint and the whanau have been down here.

I should get you as my spokesman, well said again that man 
Rick is right, the Rapid Response System is an easy to learn self protection tool that anyone can learn in a very short period of time, it has been developed not only from my FMA expeariance (Based on Crossada) but also from my 15 years plus on the Doors and Working in the Security Services.
Like anything it will take practice to master the simple principals of the System and once you have done that you can then add in environment training Verbal Abuse, Group Attacks. But get the Basics first and then work from there.
Oh and when I teach my regular class we usually wear every day clothing, only tend to wear the uniforms in the class on occasion and at seminars and special events. Lucy is all too often performing her skills in tight trousers and heels .
