Combat Science

Combat Fitness and Real World Self-Defense

There's no tapping out when you're getting mugged. -Sensei David J. Weinberg


Our Mission

We’ll teach you how to bio-hack your body so you can rapidly become combat fit and skilled in real world self-defense.

99% of schools will tell you that if you face multiple attackers and you can’t run you’re done. At Combat Science we’re not looking to fight multiple people. That’s just the reality. We train for multiple attackers. That’s our specialty.

Our real world self-defense system has been used to protect the U.S. Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. From witnessing the self-defense system firsthand the U.S. Department of Defense says it is “second to none.”

“I can honestly say that Grandmaster Peter Freedman has built the best martial art teaching system that I have ever encountered.” – Jason Macdonald, Personal Defensive Tactics Instructor

Take the Combat Science Challenge. You’ll learn more about self-defense in 3 months through our online program than you’ll learn at your local dojo. We’ll not only teach you how to defend yourself, we’ll also help you get into the best shape of your life through our 28 day combat fit bootcamp. Don’t believe us? We’re offering a 100% refund.

Check out the FREE 7 day trial and find out just how serious we are.

“The brutal truth is people are being attacked by knives, machetes and firearms and my friends in law enforcement are telling me these attacks are growing and getting worse. It’s time to learn how to defend yourself in these situations. We are here when you are ready.” – Grandmaster Peter Freedman.

Learn more by listening to an exclusive Interview with Grandmaster Freedman where he reveals how he developed his combative system to be effective in the real world. For Grandmaster Freedman his self-defense system had to work while growing up in the streets of Boston’s violent South End. It saved his life on numerous occasions. Sadly, most of Grandmaster Freedman’s friends did not make it out and were shot, stabbed, and are no longer with us today.


 

Real World Self-Defense

There are no longer any excuses if you truly wish to learn how to defend yourself with an elite system that was once only offered to Navy SEALs, Green Berets, Army Rangers, and a select few in an underground, private school in Boston. After years in the making… the Core Program speaks for itself.

“I checked out over 100 schools before finding this. Freedman’s Method Ketsugo Jiu-jitsu* is the most applicable and best martial art I’ve ever seen for street survival and street fighting. I love the approach for multiple attackers and weapons as no other schools focus on this.” – Mike Muratore, Jeet Kune Do Instructor, Wing Chun Instructor, and State Judo Champion

With our proprietary self-defense system you’ll learn how to defend yourself for the real world at a staggering pace.

Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned expert we can literally help you overcome the physical limitations, confusion, and setbacks that many students experience at local dojos. Best of all the self-defense system and training is gentle on the body so you can learn to protect yourself and loves ones without getting injured.

“I previously studied Okinawan Karate, Kenpo, and Kyokushinkai, but I found myself progressing farther as a martial artist in my first few months with Freedman’s Method than in all my other years of martial arts practice.” – John Moore, Martial Arts Instructor and Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt

The majority of martial artists learn by memorizing hundreds and even thousands of pre-arranged techniques. These static, canned responses may look nice in the dojo, but in the real world may very likely get you killed. If you’re not able to invent your own techniques spur of the moment the same way you effortlessly invent the sentences you speak… you’re far from competent. If you’ve ever been mugged, jumped, or assaulted you know exactly what we’re talking about. If not, you may be in for a rude awakening when life gets real.

Bad things never happen in your neighborhood till they do. If and when that happens it’s not pretty. In the street there are no rules. There are no weight classes, no referee, and no rounds. Six on one isn’t uncommon and can get ugly quickly. An elderly, frail man getting pummeled from behind by a 300 pound man happens far too often. Assaults occur out of nowhere, in the dark, and in cramped quarters such as stairwells, elevators, and while you’re sitting in your car. Weapons such as baseball bats are used to crush bones while concealed knives are used to slash open one’s face and mutilate flesh. In the real world it’s not just a ground game or stand-up game. And it’s more than long distance, mid-range, and close range techniques. It goes well beyond empty-hand and weapons techniques. Things get crazy. Chaos rules. You better be fluent. You better be competent at everything. There is no tapping.

The question is simple. Can you survive?

As W. Edwards Deming wisely observed, “94% of all failure is a result of the system… not people.”

The Choice Is Yours:

The Old Way

(Technique Based Learning = Memorization & Limitation)

Principles & Concepts

(THE ROOT THAT MAKES ALL TECHNIQUES WORK)

Techniques

(MEMORIZED, DEFENSIVE RESPONSES TO MEMORIZED CHOREOGRAPHED ATTACKS)

How stable does that look? If your life is on the line and you get attacked by an unfamiliar technique that you didn’t memorize… would you feel confident? Sounds like the perfect recipe for disaster.

vs

The Combat Science Way

(Principles & Concepts Based Learning = Creativity & Infinite Options)

image description

Techniques

(Physical movements that showcase principles through action such as particular ways of joint locking, particular ways of choking, particular ways of striking, etc.)

Principles & Concepts

(They comprise the inner teachings that are the root of all techniques and the
gateway to creating infinite variations. It was the principles that were kept
secret in most schools in Asia. If the master teacher possessed exceptional
knowledge he only revealed the ability to see and understand these hidden
principles with his most dedicated student. The majority of students didn’t
know years could be compressed into months. They didn’t know
information was held back. They didn’t know it was possible to
bio-hack their minds and unlock incredible skills so quickly.)

“Over the years I have studied Krav Maga, Muay Thai, Boxing, Street Survival and ITS (Israeli Tactical System). After being in the Army I was recruited to work as an instructor with a Counter-Terrorism training school, where I trained United States Special Forces, Rangers, Spec Ops teams, Police S.W.A.T, etc. For a long time I felt that I had a good level of knowledge in various styles of martial arts. That was until Sensei Dave Weinberg introduced me to Ketsugo Jiu-jitsu* and Peter Freeman’s method of teaching. I experienced a paradigm shift and my perception of what was an effective way to learn and to teach was completely changed. If I had started in this style my learning in every other style after would have gone up exponentially, because I would have understood the principles of why the style worked instead of just being given preset techniques to regurgitate.” – Jared Day, Former Counter-Terrorism Instructor

How does it work?

It’s simple. Watch and study over 100 hours of online video instruction and attend live classes and seminars, sign up for private in-person instruction or online private Skype lessons. We’re here to help you progress as fast as possible.

“I trained in Kempo, Muay Thai, JKD, boxing, BJJ and Army Combatives… It wasn’t until I met Grandmaster Peter Freedman that it all came together and made sense. His Ketsugo Jiu-jitsu* is the foundation and system I had been seeking. His teaching of anatomy, concepts and principles is what I had been missing. The applications of his system are endless. I am able to apply this for self-defense & street fighting, combat and/or on the job as a law enforcement officer.” – John Lenotte , Combat Veteran, US Army & Navy Military Police, Local & County Law Enforcement, Federal Agent- DHS

Training Buddy

  • Just find a friend, neighbor, or co-worker who also wants to learn and get going. We teach… you train.
  • You and your Training Buddy can watch particular video modules of interest on your own. Then when you meet you and your Training Buddy you can work on the homework assignments together and figure out what principles, concepts or exercises needs clarification and refinement.
  • Some of our clients like to watch the videos straight from their computer or ipad while others enjoy streaming the content to their HD TV via Google Chromecast, Apple TV, Roku, or Amazon Fire and working on the homework assignments in their living room with their Training Buddy.

“Any question I had on whether it would work or not was answered one evening while I was bouncing at a local bar. I was put in a combative situation by a drunken fellow employee. Long story short he was getting beat in a fair one on one fight which I verbally tried to break up while on the radio for help. Then the other guy’s gargantuan friend came rushing to his aid. He positioned himself behind my coworkers back and was about to attack him. My body reacted to the situation and to my amazement I threw a guy 6’3? 250lbs about 10 feet without hurting him using what I had recently learned. That night I couldn’t sleep. I played the moment over and over in my head critiquing my performance and came to the conclusion that no matter what Ketsugo works like a mutha! From that moment on I went from being hooked on to married to Ketsugo till death do us part. I love this art. I love this site. I was skeptical at first about learning self-defense online, but it’s been phenomenal.” – Phil McKnight, Personal Trainer and Night Club Bouncer

“For the development of the Thunderbell multi-platform training program and product launch, I specifically sought out Jon Arend not only for his physical training and athletic ability but for his supreme understanding of functional biomechanics and his dedication to high-performance coaching.” – Jeremy Levine, Military Functional Performance Expert Who Developed Curriculum and Physical Training For 10 Navy SEAL Teams, US Army Special Forces, and Wrote The Official Navy SEAL Fitness Guide For All SEAL Teams

You’re only as strong as your weakest link. In the Old Way of training people usually just train by moving their bodies in a forward motion. We have yet to see a human body that can only move forward. What about backwards? How about side-to-side? How about twisting? How about side-to-side or twisting with the feet and body positioned in strong postures? Now how about weaker or more awkward postures? How could you possibly have functional, usable strength without this? How could you possibly increase your resistance to injury without training the weaker more awkward positions in all three planes of motion?

“As a former competitive powerlifter I thought the combat fitness training on this site was complete BS. Man, was I wrong. It took 3 months to see dramatic results, but I’ve rehabilitated my body, got rid of all my injuries, and am now doing things that I could never do… and I’m almost 50! People hardly recognize me anymore. I lost over 52 lbs. Combat Science rocks!” – Mike Muratore, Jeet Kune Do Instructor, Wing Chun Instructor, and State Judo Champion

Are you ready to transform your body into a self-defense weapon? Check out the FREE 7 day trial.

When you become combat fit you’ll have true strength from the tips of your fingers to the tips of your toes. Many popular training programs today focus heavily on Olympic lifts. Unfortunately, this frequently causes injuries to far too many people. In fact, 99% of the population doesn’t realize that they need to condition themselves first through structural alignment protocols that align their skeletal system. They also need to restore proper functional movement and eliminate aches and pains before advancing to Olympic style training. Otherwise, when you introduce stress (from working out) on an unstable skeletal structure and unbalanced facial (muscle bodies) structures… debilitating injuries occur. Think of an unstable building that has structural flaws. What happens when the building has to withstand the stress from movement from a hurricane or earthquake? We can almost forget about the big storms. Heck, a gentle breeze may be too much for the building to handle. Your body is no different.

Your health is too precious to risk. We will show you how to unleash your highest genetic potential. Get combat fit and learn to defend yourself with our Core Training Program. Check out our free trial. Once you open Pandora’s box there’s no going back.

“Jon Arend is like no other trainer I’ve ever worked with before. His vast knowledge of the human body and movement is unparalleled. Jon can transform information into useful practice for average consumers and professional athletes. I’m forever in gratitude for his hands-on approach and expertise.” – Jennifer Davidson, Project Leader for NIKE SPARQ, Collaborates With World-class Trainers To Develop Training Program Logic, and Project Leader Microsoft Xbox 360 Kinect Training

“I have had the pleasure of working with trainers from the Olympics, United States Tennis Association, and UCLA athletic trainers. Quite simply, Jon is the bar-none the best trainer I have ever worked with. To say that Jon is a ‘trainer’ in and of itself is a misnomer. Jon is an innovator and mastermind in the development of strength and conditioning.” – TJ Pura, Duke University Tennis, 5-star Recruit Southern California, #7 Recruit in Southwest Region
