Basically a mix of stuff i've come across. As a base I use basic strikes, palms, elbows, knees, hammerfists. Add in pre-fight stuff, how to deal with it before it goes physical and controlling distance, footwork etc. And then add in different locks i've found effective and ways of controlling somebodies balance, taking them off balance, putting them down. And mindset, minimizing hesitation etc.
I pretty much have ended up taking a teaching role as there is nothing good I want to train in here and even though I haven't trained for ages what I know is more valuable than going to some dodgy TKD class.
It's getting me excited thinking about it, I haven't trained for ages. Except i'm waiting for a reply from the guy who wants to train. He keeps saying he is keen but it seems to not happen when I try to organize it, i'm gonna give him tomorrow as he said he would and then not try with him anymore.
Ok so were training at 3pm
Should be fun.
I haven't heard of Peter Ralston, just looked at some stuff, couldn't find much of him in action but it reminds me of a freestlye karate I used to do a bit. But as for systema, I reakon it's a crock of shit, it may look cool but would not work in reality.
This is the kind of stuff I like.. (After getting a TKD black belt I learnt more about reality from one of the Senshido dvd's than like 5 years of TKD!)

Unfortunately i've never found a class like it, and didn't quite get to the level shown in the videos, but I learnt alot from it.
