When you are looking for a way to protect yourself what do you look for? When you are looking for a
firearm to purchase you want to see the safety features, the stopping power, accessibility, overall
bang-for-the-buck and thats including longevity-the life of your protection; the firearm. Now what
about your choices in self preservation /self defense? Your life needs to be protected too, so do you
look at your life protection the same way as any other purchase of protection like firearms or do you
look for recreation, weight loss, fun and a club type environment? Do you check if the style/system
you are looking at will enable you to protect yourself and someone else anywhere? If it does not
enable you to create a better you through scenarios, drills and a strong mindset then it is a waste of
time. Look at this list and see if your style helps you with immediate threats in any of these areas:
TRAINS
BUSES
PLANES
STAIRWELLS
CARS
RESTROOMS
Just to name a few.
Now ask your self: CAN I SURVIVE A VIOLENT ALTERCATION ON THIS SHORT LIST WITH MY
TRAINING?
This is important to ask yourself because what you learn will be what you will use when you fight back
whether its a mugger on the street or a rapist. Food for thought.
ROUGHHOUSE TACTICS is about rapid, ballistic effectiveness. The core of the system: bare bones,
& principle/conceptual methods based driven without fancy moves or complex techniques. Operating
within a 4 ft. radius, in a multitude of environments, making it difficult for the attacker/aggressor to
defend or continue their attacks. This is what makes ROUGHHOUSE TACTICS, a system with limited
tools with unlimited potential, a system that is highly effective due to the use of primal instincts mixed
with gross motor skills asking the questions of why & how.
Through research, knowledge was obtained. Through study and practice, chances of surviving the
street altercations increased. The mechanics, applications of the strikes, delivering fast hits, ranging
from non lethal to lethal, in the least amount of time became . Reflexive response, instincts with the
Gross Motor Skills gives the student a toolbox to work scientifically sound tactics well under pressure.
The use of non-telegraphic moves, angles, leverage and balance (on & off) makes ROUGHHOUSE
TACTICS a little different than most arts, styles and systems being instructed. You will learn to fight
immediate threats in trains, buses, planes, staircases and any other odd area you will find yourself in
because just training in an air-conditioned, central-air system, water-cooler, safe training hall will not
prepare you for the real thing. This mindset enables you to run through attackers without craving for
any other type of consumption or rest.
ROUGHHOUSE TACTICS believes in the hardcore training be it mentally,emotionally or physically. To
apply all of these will be the cementing of a combative mindset. Without your mind being in
everything you apply, all you are doing is wasting time. We UNITE (body) to be ready to take on long
altercations because we train for the worst case scenario and look forward for the best. Specific
circuits and drills are some of the core training in enhancing your skills. Using ACCLIMATION
DRILLS, REALISTIC SCENARIOS with REAL ENERGY & INTENT combined with skill development
drills allow the student to enhance their training and faith in their skills. No faith or confidence in your
skills leaves you open for a violent attack at worst, belongings and a slight beating at best.
90% mental - 10% physical is what we always hear and nothing could be further than the truth. If you
can't think it, you won't do it. Peaceful resolutions are part of our goal but should a break down in
diplomacy come to pass... Acclimating to the street is important to our training and implementing drills
that help students grow and gain knowledge through these drills through hard contact within
scenarios developing the mind; specifically enhancing the physical prowess and hard core mindset.
