"Aim Fast, Fight Fast!"
M_P
It's ironic who in the training world is raking in the dough and who is driving the same truck they had 10 years ago.
"Aim Fast, Fight Fast!"
Hah! Ironically, before I sold out to The Man and went commercial, I only taught the class at LE conferences and it was called Speed Kills. :cool:
I would like to know more about surviving a life-or-death street assault than most Black Belt Karate Masters! I'm going to order now.
That's some effective advertising there. He was on the TV!
I read on another forum if you sign up for his newsletter but dont buy his BS, you eventually get this email: (This guy must be why they make that engraved bolt cover plate addressing men who prefer hotdogs to tacos)

Hi [name]
I've got a problem that maybe you could help me with...
Over the past several days, I've been sending you TONS of articles,
video lessons, commentary, and other good stuff.
All that AND the opportunity to try my COMPLETE Close Combat
Training package absolutely risk free!
Why haven't you taken me up on this offer?
Because frankly, I'm puzzled.
I thought you wanted to learn how to be a dominant Alpha male.
I thought you wanted to learn how to physically dominate, humiliate,
or even KILL anyone who screws with you (or threatens your family!)
Listen, if you're not interested anymore...That's cool. Continue to be
a pussy, I couldn't care less.
But if you do what to become one of us...The time is NOW.
Close Combat - World Leader In Self Defense
You won't be disappointed (And even if you are, you don't have to keep it!)
Fear No Man,
Captain Chris
PS. Holy crapola...stop procratinatin' and get going! >>>

That's t-shirt material right there.
I only hope he names his child General Mayhem.
What kind of first name is Captain, anyways?
Personally I'd prefer to have a safe and effective self-defense system, as opposed to the world's most dangerous self defense system. But hey, he's the world leader in self defense, so he must know what he's talking about. :rolleyes:
There was another guy a few years back offering the same stuff, if I recall he didn't last very long. The guys who talk about how bad the are make me laugh, It's that guy standing off to the side minding his business that I worry about. Those who have been around real operators know that calm and cool whens the game. The garbage these guys still usually sale get people killed.
sorry. I looked at him and read Captain Chris and all I got was this guy.

Holy Mother Of God.:eek: How does he get away with using all of those companies logos?
What a tool...
I half expected the "Frequently asked Questions" portion to consist of things like...
Q - "Are you completely full of shit or did you get dropped on your head as a child?"
A - "No, I'm not full of shit, but I was dropped on the floor as a child, but I kicked it's ass"
Q - "When I call, with there be a real 'Operator' on the other end of the line?"
A - "Unfortunately no. I don't believe in training people how to take orders. I just show them a few simple moves like punching keys and they should be fine in just a few minutes"
Q - "Did the Nazi's ever win a battle in WWII?"
A - "No. They just ran away in fear of receiving a flailing neck chop from the rich aristocrats that learned these techniques."

While I am not the world's foremost expert on self defense and I don't have "international mercenaries" as students, I'm pretty sure that Captain Crunch couldn't turn me into a badass in an hour or less.
I mean, I'm not a warrior by any stretch...but despite my usually good nature and cherub-like demeanor it's still a pretty bad idea to attack me. Somehow I doubt Captain Crunch could make my fangs any sharper or my venom any deadlier.

Believe it or not there are even some firearms trainers out there whose entire marketing scheme is based on being the baddest MFer in the room...hence Todd's little joke about marketing. Given what we know about some of the other people in the room it's pretty damn comical, but it's there none the less. The people out there who don't know what they don't know and who are gullible enough to believe that watching a DVD for an hour really will turn them into some world-changing badass are apparently numerous and readily willing to part with their money.
hahaha... Cherub fangs. Quick, someone bust out the Motivational poster maker!:D

You beat me to it!
Break the wrist. Walk away....
Grappling is an Olympic sport?
I hold black belts in 5 different martial arts, a U.S. Gold Medal in Grappling...
So do you get a free gun with this? Oh, sorry, I thought I was looking at an ad for Front Sight.
I just want to know what kind've parents name thier kid 'Captain' :D
So if I refer at least 5 friends and they sign up, do I get a free set of steak knives?

LOL.
First thing that came to my mind.
Oh and...
Strike first, strike hard, no mercy SIR!
oh my. I just checked my gmail account. The sponsered link at the top of the screen was:
Fear No Man - www.CloseCombatTraining.com - Discover What Kung Fu Masters & The Army Don't Want You To Know
what the hell?

What's wrong with an old truck? Love my '95 Powerstroke :p
P.T. Barnums (or Paper Collar Joe depending on who you believe said it) old notion of a sucker being born every minute needs an update to the internet age.

I can only hope it involves making a grown man shit himself with the careful application of a knee strike or judo chop.
Um, wow. Is Captain Chris just that full of himself? I couldn't even read that whole page it was so mind numbing.

Just guessing, but I bet the answer would involve a roundhouse kick to the face.
So Captain Chris vs. Chuck Norris .
What say you?
