Close Combat Training

To truly understand what must be included in effective close combat training or real-life survival training, it is essential to first clearly distinguish it from various types of martial arts training. At Maximum Armour, we operate on a fundamental principle: in close combat, one fights for physical survival, whereas in sport martial arts, one competes for victory in a tournament. This core difference is the foundation of our entire philosophy, which is built on providing realistic self-defense classes for any situation.

Weapons Training: Your First Line of Defense

Accordingly, close combat training must, first and foremost, include training with various types of weapons. You must always assume your opponent is armed and dangerous; in such a case, fighting barehanded is the same as digging your own grave. Our curriculum is built on this grim reality, preparing you for the most dangerous scenarios.

Our weapons training includes:

• Long stick fighting training

• Medium-length stick fighting training

• Chain fighting training

• Short stick fighting training

• Knife fighting training

Striking and Grappling Techniques

Mastering weapons skills makes you a smarter fighter, eliminating illusions about your own "greatness" and the nature of a real fight. Conversely, mastering striking and grappling techniques enriches your weapons experience, making you a more confident practitioner. These two disciplines are not separate but interwoven, creating a comprehensive self-defense system.

Our striking and grappling training includes:

• Hand strikes training

• Leg strikes training

• Headbutt training techniques

• Standing grappling techniques

• Ground striking techniques

• Ground grappling techniques
