What is CombatiX?

Before we dive in, let's start by defining exactly what CombatiX really is.
CombatiX is the application of knowledge collected from centuries of combatives. Having begun in the Martial Arts, our principles originated there; over time, however, these principles evolved into a more scientific approach.
What It Is Not

You won't find any jump or spin kicks. No fancy Kung Fu Theater moves that only work in the movies. No complicated moves that take years to master. You don't have time for that do you? I didn't think so! Neither do I!
Instead, you will learn techniques that are simple but devastating. Movements are fast and almost impossible to defend. Your opponent simply won't know what hit them!
Identifying Threats

Identifying threats and avoiding, or if necessary, neutralizing them, is a pivotal component of our training. This includes predator profiling, reading body language, as well as identifying common tactics and ambush methods.
By recognizing threats sooner, you are better prepared to respond to them correctly with more time to formulate your actions.
Anatomical Targeting

We first studied ancient fighting systems and how the originators of those arts studied Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) such as acupuncture as a basis for how best to attack the human body. Amazingly, these methods are extremely effective!
As we continued our study of the human body we looked at Western views of the body such as Anatomy and Physiology (A&P). While this expanded our understanding of "the why" of the targets we had discovered, it did not change the targets themselves. All we really did by conducting this research was expand our understanding. This allows us to speak in both Eastern and Western terms.
Enhancing Techniques

By studying these various combative systems, both ancient and modern, we learned to make our techniques several more times efficient. These principles include attacking the stance of the opponent, waveforms, harmonics, quadrant theory, and much more. Many of these principles, which we call "Players to the Game," yield as much as 10 x improvements in the effectiveness of your techniques, and response time has been cut in half and speed effectively doubled by applying this science.
Understanding Body Alarm Response

As our research advanced, we turned our attention towards understanding Adrenal Stress Response and how it affects the human body. This is important for two reasons:
  • It affects you!
  • It affects your opponent!
A fighting system that actually works has, to be based upon these principles or it will not work under real and stressful situations. Many techniques in use today will fail in real life! Many perceptual distortions and physical impairments occur under high stress. Techniques requiring fine motor skills are virtually useless at high heart rates.

Also, knowing how to cause this in our opponent or at least take advantage of these influences can mean the difference in life and death!
Improved Teaching Methods

A great fighting system is useless unless it is easily learned. As one of our founders, Rick Moneymaker, says "Knowledge is not power. Application of knowledge is power."
Our teaching methods are based on the most advanced scientific principles available. Our #1 commitment is to you as our standards and training partners!
Weapons

CombatiX is unique in that it combines various armed and unarmed fighting methods. First and foremost, empty-hand skills are essential. As much as we love weapons, your body is the only weapon guaranteed to be with you and accessible at all times.
For those times when weapons are needed, we strongly believe they have to be tightly integrated with your unarmed techniques. It is foolish to have a different set of stances, techniques, and principles for each weapon. That flawed thinking can get you killed! Regardless of what is in your hands, it should all be the same.
Our system will teach you to use the following weapons:
  • The Human Body
  • Pistol / Handgun
  • Shotgun
  • Rifle / Carbine
  • Knife
  • Expandable Baton
  • Self Defense Keychain
  • Anything else you get your hands on
The Continued Evolution of CombatiX

We never rest on our laurels. Violence is even present and predator tactics continue to evolve. As long as there are innocent people being victimized, we will never rest in our efforts to defend ourselves, and those we care about. Empowering citizens, Law Enforcement, and military to serve and protect their fellow men is what CombatiX is all about!
