Captain Chris Shows You How To Win Any Fight

Captain Chris is a well known name in the martial arts world. He has accomplished one of the most rare feats among martial artists. He has created his own system of Close Combat Training.

Before he achieved renown as the creator of one of the most pragmatic fighting styles ever, he had a long and illustrious career as a fighter. Possessing five black belts and having been a US Army Human Intelligence Officer, Captain Chris started off knowing more than most people about how to beat an opponent.

He went on to compete in martial arts tournaments, winning nearly 150 trophies and medals in Judo, Karate, Boxing and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. He was also the Gold Medal US Grappling Champion, and Silver Medal Grappler's Quest National Champion. However, there was one event that changed his life entirely. He lost a fight, and nearly his life. Not just his own, but his wife's as well.

One night, he and his then girlfriend were nearly driven off the road by a driver in a pickup truck. This driver tailed him to the next light, got out and made his way to Chris' window. While he was dominating the trucker, the trucker's lady friend, no small fry herself, began attacking his girlfriend with a knife. When she saw that her man was losing, she turned her attention on Chris.

Deflecting this attack put him on the ground, face down. The two then began working him over, only to be stopped by the fortunate arrival of a police car. Chris learned a valuable lesson that day. All the training in the world didn't mean anything against a couple of angry rednecks.

This event inspired Captain Chris to search the world over to find the most pragmatic means of beating an opponent, or even several opponents. He disregarded all the flashy 'pretty' forms and boiled it down to the question of what really worked. With Close Combat Training, Captain Chris presents the results of his findings.
