If you think all martial arts and self defense schools are the same... think again.
We are not a "day care", we don't spend hours on end doing forms, we don't fight for sport or competition, and we don't "play by the rules." We specialize in practical, real-world applicable "street" self defense, military hand to hand combat, close quarters combatives (CQC), and law enforcement defensive tactics. Houston Combat Arts & Street Defense offers the most dynamic lineup of some of the most effective fighting and "street" self defense systems in the world, all housed inside a first-class training facility. And, we are Houston's largest reality-based martial arts training facility... complete with a 150 acre field training center and camp.
Additionally, for those that are seeking the skills of a UFC style Mixed Martial Artist (MMA), competition grappling, or competitive combat sports, we do offer Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and hard hitting Muay Thai Kickboxing complete with a heavy bag forest and a 20x20 professional Muay Thai boxing ring.
Walk confident. Live free. Go home safe... Practical "Street" Self Defense and Reality-Based Martial Arts (Military Close Quarters Combatives "CQC", Law Enforcement Defensive Tactics)
We live in a new era of crime and violence. In today's world, not everyone is interested in martial arts, but everyone needs to , at the very least, know how to defend themselves. Whether you are a student, a parent, military, or law enforcement, real defensive skills are not "flashy" like you see on TV. If you really want to know how to protect you and your loved ones, survive a street attack, or prevail on the battlefield, then you need a strategy that can be applied to any situation. You must have a proven set of tactics and you have to know they'll work beyond just concept. You need reality-based martial arts... true "street" self defense.
What does "Reality-Based" Mean? In a real life confrontation, there are no referees, you can't "tap out" to save yourself from harm, there are no rules in place to protect you, and it most likely won't be a one-on-one fight. You may not have several years to master techniques, and even if you did, many complex techniques taught in some traditional martial arts do not work in real life, high-stress situations. Reality-Based Systems are designed to prepare you to handle the reality of a real life confrontation using techniques that have been proven to work in modern times. It doesn't exclude techniques because they are too dangerous in a competition and the techniques do not take years to effectively master.
So how does it work? Our reality-based programs start off by taking advantage of your natural gross motor movements; specifically, your "flinch" reactions. We then make slight modifcations so that those reactions become responses. This is known as our Reaction Response Training™ (RRT). Defending yourself becomes as easy as walking and breathing so that under any high-stress condidtions, it just works without you having to think about it or recall complex movements. You then begin learning more advanced skills to build on and complement this base.
No points, no rules, no tapping out. Just reality-based, combat proven, street tested... Real Training for the Real world.™
What about the "UFC", or Kung Fu, Karate, Taekwondo, etc? Traditional / Classical Martial Arts such as Kung Fu, Taekwondo, Karate, etc. are not reality-based and neither is Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). They are typcially either out-dated or have been modified for sport/competition. In order to be truly effective, a reality-based system needs to meet the following 10 rules:
- It must be appropiate for modern day combat (We no longer wear armor or fight against slow moving armored warriors.)
- It must work on an assailant that is much larger and stronger than you
- It must work against both armed and unarmed assailants
- It must work against single and multiple assailants
- It must work against determined and capable assailants, not just cooperative training partners Training scenarios and "sparring" must be realistic in nature. (You will rarely encounter a fight against someone using the same style as you on the street, and the days of a one-on-one "fair fight" are over.)
- It must work when you are distracted, older or injured and appear to be a good target of opportunity
- It can't have a specific defense technique for each individual situation
- It must work in every possible environment (The same method must work in snow, sand, parking lot, woods, jungle, your living room, etc.)
- It must become instinctive and convulsive as quickly as possible (It can't take too long in order to be used effectively.)
- It can't be bound by rules of engagement such as in competition and sport
If you want to break boards, do fancy Hollywood style flipping, jumping, spinning kicks, or fight in competitions, then reality-based programs are not exactly what you are looking for. But, if you want to know how to defeat any attacker in only a fraction of the time it takes to learn a traditional martial art, then come check us out. Our street self defense systems and techniques are literally the same as those taught to many government agents, military special forces operators, and law enforcement officers. They are practical, realistic, and designed to be street and battlefield effective.

JEET KUNE DO CONCEPTS
When most people refer to Jeet Kune Do, they are most often referring to the actual fighting style created by Bruce Lee, modified from Wing Chun Gung Fu, also known as Jun Fan Kickboxing. Dan Inosanto (one of Bruce Lee's original students) carried on this tradition in the form of Jeet Kune Do Concepts and blended it with Filipino Kali (made famous by Jason Bourne in the "Bourne Trilogy" and Tom Cruise in "Mission Impossible." He passed it on to Paul Vunak (Progressive Fighting System), and this is what we now offer.
A Note About Jeet Kune Do Philosophy:
The other side of JKD is the philosophy, which many argue is what Bruce Lee was actually trying to pass on to the rest of the world. JKD philosophy, concepts, and principles can be found throughout our Tactical Ninjutsu, and is truly the overall attitude and philosophy here at Houston Combat Arts & Street Defense.Click here for more information.
