The following blog is in regards to Military CQC and Military Self-Defence instructors and instruction to the civilian sector.
It never ceases to amaze me how so many people will settle for soft options, even if it compromises theirs and others safety.
So many individuals that pass themselves off as authorities and instructors of substance have never actually proven themselves moving up through legitimate ranks training testing and qualifying.
They must realise they do not possess the commitment and intestinal fortitude to prove themselves and legitimately qualify, so opt for soft easy and often paper hound’s options.
Unfortunately, there is an abundance of paper hounds and unproven individuals claiming high-level military combative expertise and instructor status.
It is often very difficult to find proof of their combative achievement commitment resolve and expertise.
Obviously they must know they lack in the psychological and physical requirements to accept challenges and surpass required standards to become legitimately qualified.
Bearing this in mind you can only assume they are not deluded fools but more as a result of a lack of intestinal fortitude are proclaiming themselves as something they are not and this raises serious integrity issues.
I have personally seen individuals that promote themselves as seasoned instructors and subject matter experts that have never proven themselves under the extremes required to claim such status.
I have seen them make excuses like you wouldn’t believe when they are put under pressure from basic level exponents on entry-level courses.
When they can’t hide on course and are identified for their psychological weaknesses and dismal skills capabilities that will not provide them with safe self-protection let alone formidable combative capabilities, they are exposed for what they really are.
I’ve heard every excuse and reason for having to with draw and only observe training on intensive courses when the heat is turned up.
I have even seen weak individuals disappear off of course without giving notice of withdrawal or explanation and some of them proclaim high rank and high level of expertise capabilities.
The reality is they do not have the inner resolve desire and commitment to endure the rigors of real combative training and prove themselves .
They opt for easy options, whereas the committed exponent with the combative smarts and determination will be motivated by a high level of realism and extremes in relation to aggressive shock action training and testing.
The mentally and physically weak and the mentally and physically tough may well be made of similar stuff biologically, but they couldn’t be any different when it matters and counts in a high risk, high threat encounter.
All the technique in the world means nothing without intestinal fortitude inner resolve and controlled ruthless aggression. Individuals with practical combative smarts will ensure they undertake training in the most battle proven and current methods of self-protection and close combat if they would be best prepared and most capable in self defence and CQC.
From the masses come the minority in regards to knowing what are primary proven options for military self-defence and military close quarters combat. Individuals looking for such training with the smarts to identify the best of battle proven methods being instructed by highly qualified instructors will accept all the challenges required for primary combative self-improvement.
They not only will have done their research and home work to identify highly qualified instructors and combative proven systems but they are prepared to accept training and testing challenges to ensure they are the best combatant they possibly can be and as such best prepared to neutralise formidable foes and serious threats. They not only accept but expect training to be challenging and demanding.
I do not believe by majority self-proclaimed expert instructors believe they are highly skilled competent and confident committed combatants when they are not. However if they do they are deluded fools that need to take a look at themselves for what they really are.
If they do then they have no realistic idea of what it takes to train test and qualify or the required primary skills that provide the safest and best combative chance of winning over being defeated.
Still doesn’t explain why they seek and find weak and soft options.
They could simply apply for a real course of combative instruction and test and determine just how good they are.
Don’t be surprised to see numbers of these types training together as weakness attracts the weak.
Minimal observing of such individuals, instructing or training combined with looking into their records of training testing qualifying and instructing service if they have any will prove their worth or worthlessness.
If they are providing training to the general public then interested Pers should feel free to request proof of expertise and qualification and the legitimate instructor should have no issues with providing such information and proof.
Remember when looking at proof of expertise rank and qualification. It must be officially issued signed and dated by the official service or respected official authority.
One of the best means of proof of expertise is a long and respected continuous instructing record of service to the armed services.
They should not want to settle for anything less than the best and why should you.
You would be surprised at the lengths some dubious individuals will go to get less than credible proof of training and qualification.
Arm yourself with knowledge in relation to identifying instructors of the highest level, providing the most current and proven methods of instruction to meet your requirements. Don’t settle for anything less than the best as the cheapest insurance and only insurance that will provide the best chance of threat neutralisation derives from your own personal attributes and your instructors’ high level qualification expertise and tactics and skills instruction.
