Below is a video of a N.A.S.T.I.- Self Defence Course which was held on Sunday the 30th of August 2009. We were very fortunate to have a great group of students participating who were fully supportive of each other and left feeling very empowered with what they had learned. For further thoughts on the day check out Chief's blog. For videos of our previous N.A.S.T.I.- Self Defence Courses check out our N.A.S.T.I.- Self Defence gallery page.

Incorporating Adrenal Stress Conditioning and Accelerated Skill Acquisition Program

Looking like some giant alien from a far off planet the Bullet Man cuts an imposing silhouette and takes you into the deepest reaches of your mind. However, for the man inside it offers a geat deal of protection and allows him to take full head and groin strikes so that the trainees get the most realistic practice using strikes and techniques that have the greatest chance of working for them in a real threat situation.

Our next N.A.S.T.I.- Self Defence Course has yet to have a confirmed date, we will announce a date as soon as possible. This is the ultimate in self defence that works, by introducing you to the fear response and teaching you to master it, so that you gain greater empowerment in all areas of your life and have the best chance of survival when faced with the frightening prospect of being attacked for real.

Geoff underwent an intensive training course in Australia with Bill Kipp the founder of the F.A.S.T.- reality based self-defence system together with John Will and members of the Australian Special Forces. Check out the clips from the course on our N.A.S.T.I.- Self Defence page. This training culminated in Geoff becoming the first and only certified Bullet Man in New Zealand, allowing him to make this cutting edge self defence technology available to everyone who wants to get control back in their lives.

Annabelle Latz from the Christchurch Star newspaper visited The Academy of Combat and experienced first hand the adrenal rear response that debilitates most of us when presented with a threat to our safety and learned how, through the cutting edge self defence technology of Adrenal Stress Conditioning you can overcome this and defend yourself. Read about it here.

Be sure and have a look at the video clip of some of the action from our first course on the N.A.S.T.I.- Self Defence gallery page and check out our Events page for footage of our more recent courses.

The N.A.S.T.I.- Self Defence Course is a Reality Based Self Defence System, developed from real life experiences, that trains you to master your fears when facing the real threat of an attacker or mugger and respond, if necessary, with a fierce, powerful and focused attack that will neutralize and destroy the toughest of assailants - tactics that will give you the greatest chance of survival when confronted with a life threatening do or die situation.

Here are just some of the things that you will learn from this training:

• Discover what a potential attacker identifies as a victim and how to present yourself as a potential danger to a would-be mugger.

• Learn what occurs when the fight, flight, freeze reflex activates and how you can utilize what is a natural survival response to protect yourself effectively .

• Develop simple but effective and powerful strikes that will neutralize any assailant , no matter how big they are.

• Find out what are the most effective targets on the human body that will incapacitate an aggressor regardless of how tough they are.

Others who have been trained with this methodology have realized incredible boosts in their confidence. For many, both men and woman, this has come after suffering terrible assaults and humiliations. It has literally given them their lives back. People with a history of "being the victim" have become empowered enabling them to live their lives as they want - free of fear and full of unrestrained adventures.

Here are just some of the benefits that you will gain from this training:

• Develop the body language and assertive behavior that makes potential attackers avoid you .

• Train your mind to flick the switch to fight mode when you feel the fear from the "adrenal rush" that results from a potential threat.

• Learn to attack with ferocity and focus that will destroy even the toughest of assailants, no matter how strong you are.

• Actually apply the tactics that you learn, full force, to live trainers that will push you through the “freeze threshold” so that you see and feel the power actually working for you .

Those who decide not to take part in this course risk a great deal: Crime statistics indicate that violent assaults are increasing every day. Police cannot respond fast enough to prevent much of the attacks that innocent people suffer. Failure to arm yourself with the ability to recognize possible danger and the capability to respond to potentially life threatening attacks could result in serious injury, complete destruction of self esteem, or even death.

To ensure that those taking part will fully experience the training and programming changes that this course will give them and due to its' intense nature the number of participants will be limited. So register at the Academy of Combat Ltd reception now to ensure your place!

It's all very well and good practicing martial art this and martial art that as a form of self defence but when faced with a real life threatening situation the adrenaline kicks in and you freeze, all previous training flying out the proverbial window. I unfortunately have been in this situation, and let me tell you it is not one that I wish to revisit- therein lies my reason for attending the very first Academy of Combat Adrenal Stress Course.

I can honestly say that the skills I learned and carried away with me that day equipped me with the confidence and ability to deal efficiently with a wide range of compromising situations and how to avoid them in the first place! It also helped me deal with my own past experiences, rationalizing them and making me feel like they never happened.

I would recommend this course to everyone, male, female and child alike, as it covers a range of scenarios on multiple levels. I found it to be invaluable towards my attitude to the way I live and go about my life; where once I froze in the face of fear, I now don't give it the time of day.
