Kratos Combatives is back!

After a long break from an injury we are back again, we have developed a lot of new stuff from our R&D lab. We have discovered new things that we have not seen before in any other systems and hope that others have found similar discoveries, as we want to expand our knowledge and learn from likeminded individuals. 

A lot has changed since this video on so many levels, our hope is that we can create new videos created with content from seminars, so if anyone is interested to host Kratos Combatives seminars please contact us.

The future of our videos will not just become what we dislike, a few seconds video clips and lots of photos showing of titles in various cities that only reflects the amount of ego the weekend diploma Instructor/Master of Disaster have, and only hides how bad they move and the apparent lack of skillsets, in some cases it even shows how bad it is.

How to deal with injuries in training, after over 25 years of training and most of them full contact, I have accumulated various injuries, the reason I have trained so many styles is that I changed style depending on the current injuries. As an example I trained MMA and BJJ, but after the second serious contagious skin disease I had to stop to not infect my team and the it took over 2 years to get rid of that disease, so I started training Escrima and combat with medieval European weapons again after a long break, when I was healed I started to train Submission Wrestling again but suffered a serious nerve damage in my dominant right arm and had to stop, as I tried to continue training but the after surgery I was advised to not train any combat sport that would add pressure on my elbow or use elbows to strike and any contact to my fingers triggers excruciating pain, so now I teach and have stopped cross training other martial arts, but as I teach 6 hours every week and have to fight often when teaching, I don’t want to risk to have a permanent injury and get enough training without risking to worsen the damage. If you use an injury as a new way to train other important aspects of combat instead of seeing it as an impediment and not train, you loose the opportunity to learn how to fight under less than perfect conditions, there is no guarantee that you will be attacked when you are fresh and have no injuries, better to do it in a safe environment than have to find a way to deal with it while you are under attack on the street completely unprepared. https://www.facebook.com/KratosCombatives

Senshido Fundamentals & Shredder Seminars Highlights with Richard Dimitri

Cant wait to do a multiple attackers sparring, we used to do it a lot, but the biggest problem is that even if tell everyone to keep the intensity low 10 times, after 1 minute everyone forgets that simple instruction as they are under massive pressure and it suddenly escalate to a point were it is dangerous. My hope is that we can do it with our Spartan Gear still with low intensity, but the point were I have to stop the sparring due to the level of danger for the participants will be delayed significantly. We have invested a lot of money to get full body protection to do sparring with training weapons and empty hand defence with any level of intensity as we want to and still keep it safe.
