Lloyd has been with us for 7 years. He really uses JKD principles in his grappling. If you're near Detroit make sure you go to see him.

CPSD OVERVIEW

As a self defense practitioner, I must first state that I am not looking for trouble, if I have away to resolve an altercation thought other means besides physical violence, I will use those options first. However, if confronted with an explosive attack or in the event of a diplomatic failure, I will strive to stay alive and make it home to my love ones, or protect my love ones by any and all means necessary.

We believe that their are 4 different avenues to consider when talking about all things martial:

Sport (competition with rules and regulations and fitness)

martial arts (the study of movements and techniques for both sport and self defense)

self defense (the development of tools to defend ones self from assault thought the use of principles and tactics)

Combat (kill or be killed)

Their maybe some crossover in the last two categories, but only in an extreme will the first two lead to the last two.

I am from a group of individuals that believe that self defense training, should be framed within a few truths.

For instance:

The ring is sport.

Sport is a contest.

The ring is about fighting for a prize, reputation, or ego.

The ring is not combat.

Martial art can be both sport and self defense

Self defense is not a sport, nor is it used in the ring.

Combat is about life, death, and survival.

We strongly believe in biting for self defense purposes.

Always try to bite into the clothing.

Small multiple nips to move your attacker into a better position in close quarter infighting.

Last resort if in unarmed assault:

nose, ear, cheek, and vital area the neck.

For us an opponent is some one you fight in the ring with rules, so it would be illegal or cause disqualification to bite.

We use the terms attacker/assaulter, because in the street that's who your up against.

My mistake I gave the impression that we advocated a fair fight, this is a misconception.

The only fair we know is a place to see the best in show cattle and ride the twisting cups.

If it's you or I, I want your eye and your life.

J12/C6

Judge by 12 or carried by six

hope this clears up any confusion.

This is a brief example of our philosophy.

Hope this helps.
