Review: Cops call it the “Quiet Man’s” Self-Defense

I just read the “USP” …. (unique sales proposition) for a great martial arts system that is so incredible that this headline gives one pause to wonder: “Just One Lesson Of This Simple New ‘Cop-Tested’ Fighting System Will Give You The Confidence To Force A Bigger, Meaner And Angrier Attacker To His Knees Whimpering In Pain…Using Just One Hand!”

Yeah right!

“Without much fuss, and without breaking a sweat, you can put a stronger and more skilled attacker down and under your total command with simple yet agonizing “pain compliance” moves that take just one hand… and yet, despite the intense pain you inflict, you will leave no marks or long-term damage.”

Yup uh-huh, one lesson and one hand right?

Total control… zero damage. And you win every fight in just seconds, every time!

 ~ Wow, sign me up! I’m tired of training every day! ~

Now I’m feeling feisty since all of this is of course a crock of sh*t, designed for one reason: to separate you from your money!

I have had many police officers ask me to show them martial arts moves that they could use to help them with unruly “perps”. In every scenario provided, there was one awful conclusion, you have to cause bodily damage to the “perp” at some point.

I know exactly what you would receive in this course. A series of joint – locking maneuvers that really are quite simple to apply and will drop the most skilled fighters…..if you can pull it off on them! Most skilled fighters I know, and that is many, would never allow you to close the gap that close without hurting you on the way in, and hurting you while inside and possibly using the same techniques as you would be shown. In the real world tough attackers and street fighters carry guns, steel batons, or maybe a nice razor sharp knife.

“How to end any fight in seconds – even with an enraged attacker bent on violence without getting hit yourself, without breaking a sweat, and without even getting your knees dirty when you take him down!”

Yes, you can quickly draw a pistol and shoot him!

“Amazing one-handed “pain compliance” holds that will turn an angry attacker into a whimpering puppy at your feet!”

Ok, lock my wrist, elbow or shoulder and I’ll lock yours back, or maybe just punch you directly in the kisser as you begin to apply it!

“How to “freeze” an attacker with severe pain… so you are instantly in total control! How to take out an attacker while you are seated… without ever leaving your chair!”

Ok, sit in a chair and let me attack you. Be sure to prepare for a trip to your nearest E.R.!

“How to quickly escape from a professionally-applied choke-hold!”

Uhmm, there is no way! Only a man with equal or more skill has the very slightest chance of escaping a “fully sunk” choke hold. And I mean the very slightest chance. If you’re not highly trained in martial arts and submission fighting, you’re going beddy bye!

While I’m sure the man that created this course is probably a proficient martial arts practitioner and may be quite good at what he does. I fault his claims to impart this level of knowledge and the execution of extremely advanced techniques in one lesson, and against highly trained fighters, “absolutely ludicrous” as Mike Tyson would say!
