Fear no punch

[Tom Yum]

For all of the posters on this forum who are trying to make heads or tails of Coal Akida, his Night-Breed training academy and Fear No Punch technology, as well as his credentials, I have bought the DVD and would like to clear up a few things.

First of all, the Fear No Punch training system, in my opinion, should be a part of any serious fighters training regimen. I take my training and skills very seriously and have trained with some very well-versed instructors. Nothing I have ever learned even comes close to what Coal Akida has created and teaches in his video.

You guys should really read the editorial about Coal in Fight Sport magazine. Also, I did the research BEFORE I purchased his video and found info that backed up all of the claims he makes on his site, FEAR NO PUNCH. Not only that, I also happen to know a guy who has trained with Coal in the past and he has nothing but very positive things to say about Coal and his Night-Breed Academy.

To my fellow fighters, check this stuff out...you will be amazed at just how much you can learn, even when you consider yourself an expert.

No offense, but you can learn alot about taking/defending a punch by sparring and fighting - no matter what style. You don't undergo as much shock because you're acclimated and ideally you do some kind of neck/jaw conditioning.

I Also Have the DVD...

WOW!

The FEAR NO PUNCH website was excellent. The videos are about taking your defensive skills to the next level. I ordered the DVD series and this type of training is off the charts. 7 hours of the best illustrated instructional video I have ever learned from. I have to admit that this guy is really bashed on the internet sites, and now I know why, Coal Akida is incredible and makes other fighters and instructors look somewhat shameful, so I understand the hate for him on the internet.

All that aside every aspect of the Zero Fear Impact training program DVD is ground breaking!

I recently read about him training at Fort Carson and found FNP training technology articles in the Colorado Military Times observer. What I have come to understand is people hate what they fear and do not understand.

Although I have not done anything more than get the DVD and review the dvd my conclusions are as follows;

Coal Akida has created an entirely new set of combative skills and training methods and anyone that says different has simply not gotten the DVD period.

I may be only 28 years old but it dose not take a rocket scientist to figure out that Coal Akida has broken new ground with his FNP technology.

I cannot even begin to list the number of New concepts that Coal Akida has developed as each one of them could be a separate topic on their own.

I hope this help others make better decisions in their training programs.

You are 28 years old. PERFECT! You are in the middle of his target market
Relax, being fit at 40 is a good thing. Chris chelios is 45 and plays pro hockey. This expert has nothing of value to offer you.

Seek wisdom before anythng else, even money. Even a black belt, even a future wife.
If any man lacks wisdom, let him ask it of God, who will freely give it. (I forget ch and verse)

Robots huh. Like the one the Japanese guy made that smacks him when he touches her.

Get much feedback from Christians about your signature? (Just askin')

[Middleweight]

Well if you can stop running around spamming every board on the forum long enough, perhaps you can explain exactly which organization Coal is a "Commander" in. You're spamming the military tactics forum with someone being referred to as "Commander" on his videos, I'm far more interested in getting to the bottom of that claim before we hear about the claims of the "NEW concepts" the "Commander created".

I wonder if his new interviews will be as funny as his older ones:

He pioneered his own martial-arts style. You're probably not man enough.

By Jared Klaus


Down this gloomy stretch of road in North Royalton, where auto-body shops flank both sides of the road like competing fast-food chains, the best fighters in the world train to be killers.

The only identifier is a small logo--the sign for an eclipse, framed by cross-hairs--on a gray metal door on the side of the Right Wrench Auto Service. Upstairs is Nightbreed Tactical Combat Academy.

In this dingy room, one man has single-handedly created the most advanced fighting system in the world, aptly named "Combat Skills." There's no need here for any fancy chang-fu talk.

Planted like a pole at the center of the room stands the commander. A wiry guy with stringy gray hair jutting out from under a ball cap, Commander Coal Akida loks as if he may have wandered upstairs from the Right Wrench. Of the title, he says, "It just sort of happened. People'd be like, 'Are you the commander?' And I'm like, 'Yeah, Commander Coal. How can I help you?'"

But if you're searching for his qualifications, just try to hit him. The commander once offered $50,000 to anyone who could punch him in the face. He withdrew the offer when he realized it was impossible.

If you're still not satisfied, let the commander hit you in the arm.

After showing a visitor how to brace himself, the commander delivers a staggering blow. "That was about 5 percent," he says.

It's hard to imagine what 10 percent feels like. Trust me, says the commander. "You don't want to have all the blood vessels in your arm broken. Your body goes into shock. You get almost instant diarrhea.

"This is vomit over here," he says, pointing to stains on the mat. "This is vomit over there."

Contrary to first impressions that he was born with the instinct to kill, the commander says that Nightbreed didn't come to him until he was 10 years old. Studying at a tae kwon do studio in Fairview Park, he'd made it all the way to black belt when tragedy struck.

Sparring at a martial-arts tournament, an older caught caught one of his sidekicks and ripped his hip right out of the socket, he says. It was from the cocoon of a full-body cast that a little caterpillar emerged a tiger moth.

He spent years exploring different disciplines--kaji kempo, aikido, kali, even Bruce Lee's jie quan dao. But none gave him the answers he was searching for. In the end, it wasn't an ancient master, but motivational speaker Tony Robbins, who gave him his long-sought inspiration.

"Anthony Robbins said, 'If you want to design a better system, you have to ask better questions,'" says the commander. "So I did."

He collected homeless people from bus stops and brought them back to his Parma apartment-turned-dojo, where he would tell them to punch him.

"They would sleep in my close, and I would give them food and shelter, and then we'd wake up in the morning, and we'd start all over again," he explains.

But after eating a full meal, the homeless apparently regained their quickness. One day a punch got through and shattered the commander's jaw so badly, he needed a metal plate put in. He remembers his parents coming to visit him in the hospital.

"They're like, 'Maybe you need to go see somebody, 'cause there's something wrong with you.'" he recalls. "I'm like, 'No, I am researching combat on a level that never been done before, and I am close to making a breakthrough.'"

So it was back to the bus stops. Only this time, the commander was training with a baseball bat. Then he moved his studio to the old gym. He trained with bigger and stronger opponents. And then, he says, "Something amazing happened.

"No man, no size, no strength, was able to beat the skills of Nightbreed. It was after that that I got my tattoo," he says, lifting up his sleeve to reveal the Nightbreed eclipse.

If you still don't believe the commander, just ask any of his dozens of students. They include an oboist with the Cleveland Orchestra, a financial planner, a doctor, a welder, and a 14-year-old boy.

"I thought I knew how to fight before," says Elliott Smith, a barrel-chester body builder with a Mr. Clean smile. "I've got buddies of mine that do karate, all that fancy stuff. Just nowhere near."

The commander's techniques are like no martial art in the world; that much is indisputable.

"We do a lot of crazy things out there," says longtime student Bob Varda, a 58-year-old former semi-pro football player. "Like one day, Coal decided it was time for me to train with my feet in boxes. You know, I thought, 'What the heck?' And we did it, and it was very awkward. But after that my footwork definitely went up a couple notches."

Cardboard-box training is only one of 4,254 customized "engagements" in the Nightbreed system. There's also blindfold fighting, simulated barroom brawls, knife fights, and disarming terrorists. Students even don motorcycle helmets and punch each other full force in the head.

"You can't do it very long, because you get such an extreme headache," says the commander. "Nightbreed's ahead of its time. That's the bottom line."

But as is the case with any paradigm shift, there is resistance. On one online martial-arts forum, members express skepticism.

"These people have been sniffing too much of the good stuff, if you get my drift," writes someone called TKDWarrior.

Another member even compares the commander's video demos to "drunken transients fighting over the last sip of malt liquor."

"I'm probably the most controversial martial artist in the world," the commander admits.

But enough chit-chat. It's time to see firsthand what Nightbreed is all about. "I'm going to have to you put some gloves on and try to break my jaw," he tells his visitor.

The visitor assumes a fighting stance and takes a swing. The commander swats it away like a fly.

"That was gay," he chides. "Try again."

He probably wouldn't show up. 'Bet he sells a ton of videos, though.

Same old crap, different pile. Seen it all, pretty much. M.O. is tell them what they want to hear, then sell the notion they too, can be a walking superman.

Hey, it sells. Send the man $150.00. Watch the vid for 2 months, every day. Then next time someone flips you the finger in traffic, shake your fist at him. You pull over, gonna use your 'super training'

You end up getting shot to death. For being stupid

If you are real lucky, you only end up with a broken skull. Tire Irons work good. Nobody learns to stop a street fighter by watching videos, although the psyche side of it is okay.

YouTube - Intense combat training and the next generation of combat skills

Most likely he was referring to these punches, they look pretty robotic to me.

I thought I'd already posted this already, oh well.

[kingoftheforest]

Robots huh. Like the one the Japanese guy made that smacks him when he touches her.

[TTEscrima]

I am not really sure about this , as I have not heard of this, I am going to make some phone calls and verify that this is TRUE as it seems very wrong.

As far as the Commander tag this was a nickname given to him because of his command of combat skills created at Nightbreed Special Forces Academy, after that the nickname stuck.

As far as that interview goes I am going to make some calls but I believe it to be a parady of the interview with Ohio martial Arts.

I'm not familiar with the "Nightbreed Special Forces Academy". So please forgive my ignorance, but, exactly which branch of the Military uses this Academy in their Special Forces POI (curriculum)? Can you clear that up for me? If not please ask that as well, I'm curious.

The interview may be a parody, I couldn't say for sure, this is the first time I've heard of that, but it does seem to be rather popular. Was there/Is there currently a 50 thousand dollar challenge?

Certainly the Clip put out by Commander Coal isn't a parody though?

[arizonatraining]

I would really like to talk to someone that can be honest an hold a conversation about training, but thanks for trying.

Coal being interviewed by Fight Sport magazine

Commander Akida Maybe he should team up with LT X, I mean Capt X and Capt Painter and they can all go to the next Star Trek convention together.

YouTube - Fear the Punch Technology

YouTube - Intense combat break through by coal akida

It's tough to decide which clip was funnier.

Yes that is Coal Akida being interviewed by Fight Sport magazine before they wrote a 2 page editorial in their magazine about the new combat skills he developed.

The other is a parody of a video on his site made by some clown that is scared of his own punches.

I would really like to talk to someone that can be honest an hold a conversation about training, but thanks for trying.

I should add that FNP is advertising in every major magazine, to the best fighters in the world, and is looking for a UFC fighter to endorse the skills.
