In the dynamic realm of self-defense, adaptability and versatility are paramount. At Cali Combat Systems, our Phase classes offer more than just martial arts training; they provide a comprehensive understanding of combat ranges and the seamless transitions between them. Let's delve into the core principles and unique elements that set our training apart.
In Phase classes, students are immersed in the concept of "Combat Flow," a fluid navigation through distinct combat ranges. From the Impact Weapons Range to Edged Weapons Range, Kicking into Hand range, and further into Close Quarter Trapping and Clinch Grappling Range—each facet is explored and mastered. This emphasis on the "ranges of combat" sets the foundation for confident and effective self-defense.
Understanding the nuances of combat requires proficiency across ranges. At Cali Combat Systems, students master Three Ranges in Long Distance (Weapons Range, Blunt Weapons Range, Edged Weapons Range, Kicking Range), Middle Distance (Hand Range), and Close Quarter (Trapping Range, Clinch Range, Grappling Range). The application of offense, counter-offense, and recounter offense is ingrained in an easy-to-remember and efficient method.
Our approach extends beyond traditional techniques. In preparing for real-world encounters, students learn Asymmetrical Tactics designed for both Mass Attack scenarios and Single Opponent confrontations. The training sharpens "Situational Awareness," using the environment as a tool and everyday objects as "Weapons of Opportunity."
