Train in a private lake setting while progressing from lower level force foundations to assault tactics and weaponized grappling.
Sifu Alan Baker is an internationally recognized martial arts instructor, author, and founder of the C TAC system. His background includes Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai Boxing, Keysi Fighting Method, Jeet Kune Do, Filipino Martial Arts, Combat Submission Wrestling, Wing Chun, Shaolin Kung Fu, defensive tactics, and intelligent physical culture.
Spend three days training with Sifu Alan Baker in a lake house setting, exploring practical civilian self defense through the C-TAC approach. Each day builds on the last and connects the material to the larger question of choosing an appropriate response for the situation.
The format includes two focused three hour training blocks each day, with time for instruction, practice, discussion, and community.
Each day has a distinct focus while remaining part of one complete learning progression.
The opening day establishes the foundation for the weekend by focusing on the lower end of the force continuum. This material creates context for the more demanding situations addressed on Saturday and Sunday. Full experience students continue Friday from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. with the special Warrior’s Path workshop.
Saturday moves into assault level situations through C-TAC Assault Tactics, including an introduction to Keysi Fighting Method and how its ideas contribute to a broader civilian protection approach.
The final day examines the added considerations that weapons bring to close contact training, decision making, and self defense.
After Friday’s C-TAC training, students registered for the Full Three Day Experience continue with a special Warrior’s Path workshop. This focused session explores intelligent physical culture as a practical system for developing the human machine.
Training will connect breath awareness, joint expansion, mobility, structural strength, recovery, and resilient practice. The goal is to understand how the body can move, breathe, recover, adapt, and perform with greater intelligence over time.
The full experience provides the complete progression. The weekend option accommodates students who cannot attend Friday.
The lake house environment creates room for serious instruction, practical work, thoughtful discussion, and the kind of learning that continues between formal training blocks. With attendance limited to 20 people, the event is designed to preserve direct access and a strong training community.
Expand your understanding of force options, assault problems, close contact work, and practical self defense.
Study how separate skills fit into a coherent decision process rather than training isolated techniques.
Students considering future instructor development can experience the depth and teaching approach of the C-TAC system. Attendance does not award instructor certification.
