While we spend hours or may be days zeroing down on a doctor checking his qualifications & credentials before we let him put us under the knife why do we take ourselves so casual when it comes to a ‘trainer’ teaching us life skills to survive vicious attackers?? Well it may not be audacious for us to claim that we have a set of most Qualified , Competent & Experienced instructors at Fitcomb a look at the data below (substantiated with records) might help you better comprehend : 1.        Real Military Combative Expertise : Our Chief Instructor is an alumni of the elite Indian Army in the capacity of an Officer of Combat Unit having been exposed to real time threats & attacks during his tenure along the Line Of Control, North East & High Altitude terrain. 2.        Industrial Security Management : We boast of the 1 st & only Security officer from the private industry to have been trained alongw...

Reality Based Self Defence

I am an ex army officer with a 2 Dan Black Belt in Karate, Black Belt in Unarmed Commando Combat System,  instructor  levels in Krav Maga, Law Enforcement & Kapap  with background in Boxing, Muay Thai , Jiu Jiu jitsu , Wrestling , Indian Sword & Stick fighting.  I feel that traditional Martial Arts are not best suited for RBSD (Reality Based Self Defence) not because of their academic importance & heritage but because of their effectiveness in 'real combative scenario' where there are no rules, no holds barred & our assailant is not single, carries a knife if not most sophisticated weapon of the world & has an intent to kill & not to score points.Yes , traditional MA develops agility & confidence but their teaching is not comparable to Reality Based Training which incorporates use of weapons , combat medics or first aid if slashed, chocked or shot, helping others in evacuation or tactical combative to sum it. A background in martial art...

Are you ready ?

The world has become a dangerous place not because the number of bad guys have swelled but because the good guys have done nothing about preparing themselves! Recent bombing in France (Paris) is a substantial denominator & indicator that such killings are mindless and ruthless. Incidents such are these are on the rise and many more which go unheard like kidnapping, robbery, rape, murder, road rages killing etc etc. Are we prepared to be able to stand in the face of the enemy or are we expecting a miracle or do we feel its not our job? Our own self defence & protection is our duty which we might as well comply with some sincerity. Fitcomb claims to be the most complete & advanced defensive system and can surely help you achieve the needful. Whether it be for your personal need or your teams responsible for protection.

Is Self Defence an Option?

Since time immemorial the primary or basic concern of mankind has been survival. The first invention of the prehistoric man was 'tools' , these stone carved tools were used to save themselves against wild animals, sharpen their spear and host of other utilities. Man has continued to evolve since then & has upgraded to computers, pneumatics, robotics & shall continue to evolve further & always. But the aspect of survival has remain as primary as before though the perspective has changed. Now its not against the wild animals & forces of nature as much as its against 'inhuman humans; out to kill, rob loot , rape or maim for reasons best known to them. Maslow in 1943 described the needs of Human Beings best depicted through this Pyramid : The underline here is that we can not bye pass 'SAFETY' to attain 'SELF ACTUALISATION'. Hence the need to be able to defend ourselves against odds which can only be done if we make a concious effort to lea...

Fitcomb : Real Combative for Real Situations

    Fitcomb carries the legacy of Krav Maga , KAPAP , RBSD and amalgamates    various proven combat systems of the special forces in its anvil  making a     potent ABC or / Application Based Combative .  ü Reality and application based learning – We do not impart sports based  martial arts technique which may have no bearing in the mean streets which has no rules, referee and fouls but ABC. ü Offensive Defense – Over a period of last 10.5 years of interventions with more than 160,000 empowered souls we have realized that  ‘ offense is the best defense’. Soft self defense skills may work against diminutive irritants but stopping a hardened criminal or psychopath requires tougher treatment, so it is not violence but constructive aggression. ü Real and not Reel  - Actions speak louder , our interventions are based on role plays, demonstrations and practice ! We prepare the participants during our workshop  to hand...

Be Your Own Weapon

Be Your Own Weapon After the unfortunate ‘Nirbhaya ’  incident followed by spurt in ‘crime against women’ the government was pushed to the corner for its inability to curb such ‘disasters’. What followed amongst other measures was the directive by the govt. that ‘every organization employing women would need to organize adequate security arrangements for them’. The directives included some of the following : 1.        Safe pick up & drop of the female employees if their shifts or work involves staying beyond late hours   - Soon after this became a norm we heard of another infamous incident of ‘Dhaula Kuan Rape Case’ where the victim was kidnapped while she was walking back to her home after the drop was raped & dumped. 2.        Govt took another ‘knee jerk reaction’ & made it compulsory for all organizations to ensure that a GPS was installed to monitor the movement & a security guard provid...

Street Survival

Well the days are getting from bad to worst! Every other day we read about street brawls, quarrels, fights and even murders. Fortunately, those who make news are not part of our units or families but unfortunately it turns us oblivious to the facts. Spending money & time on things we enjoy doing or providing us satisfaction is a good idea but we forget to invest some time to our safety & longevity. We have time for crazy office hours, movies, friends, even gymming for some but we forget to spend time on learning & internalising survival skills which can not be complimented for any thing else. Your insurance policies or proximity to a politician or cop may not help you when you have a moron pointing a gun to your forehead while you drive down back from office or a family get -together. What will actually help you is to understand that a knife can injure from from 4 directions & a gun can only fire straight @ 500 to 800 ft per seconds. Simple awareness and sensitivity may...
