SUMMARY:SELF DEFENSE SEMINAR: Milford Maine
DESCRIPTION:  \nSelf Defense Seminar With Sifu Alan Baker\nProvidence Training Grounds:  Milford\, ME\, United States\, 04461\nJune 6th\, 2026\n  \n\nThis event will be taught as a mixed-system study\, drawing from several of the training programs I work with professionally. The material will primarily come from the C-Tac® System\, the Keysi Fighting Method\, and elements of the Protection Response Tactics (PRT) program. Each of these systems contributes a different layer of understanding to real-world personal protection. \nThe C-Tac program provides the overall framework for civilian self-defense. It focuses on situational awareness\, managing distance\, integrated striking and grappling\, and understanding how empty-hand skills connect with modern defensive tools such as firearms\, knives\, and everyday carry equipment. The goal is to give students a clear blueprint for recognizing danger early\, managing the initial contact\, and solving problems in realistic environments. \nFrom the Keysi Fighting Method\, we draw close-range striking concepts\, defensive structures\, and methods for dealing with chaotic attacks at clinch and impact range. Keysi emphasizes protecting the head\, controlling space\, and maintaining offensive capability when the fight collapses into tight quarters. \nWe will also incorporate material from the Protection Response Tactics program\, which was developed for the protection and private security industry. PRT focuses on legally defensible control methods\, positional dominance\, and managing force appropriately when dealing with aggressive individuals. These methods help bridge the gap between self-defense\, professional security work\, and real-world confrontation management. \nThroughout the event we will work through multiple levels of force\, beginning with awareness and positioning\, moving into control and defensive responses\, and progressing into higher-level assault-counter tactics when avoidance or de-escalation is no longer possible. The goal is to give students a practical understanding of how these systems connect and how to apply them intelligently in real situations. \n  \n\n  \nTaught By Sifu Alan Baker \n \nSifu/Guro Alan Baker is a full-time martial arts instructor and program designer with over four decades of experience teaching practical self-defense and combative skills. His work focuses on helping students develop functional abilities in striking\, weapons\, and integrated personal protection systems that apply to real-world situations. Drawing from a lifetime of training across multiple martial traditions\, Alan emphasizes intelligent mechanics\, strong fundamentals\, and adaptable tactics that work under pressure. \nAlan holds the rank of Full Instructor and Mataas Na Guro in Filipino Kali (Eskrima) under Guro Dan Inosanto and is also a Full Instructor in Lee Jun Fan Gung Fu and Jeet Kune Do under Sifu Dan Inosanto. His background includes extensive study in Filipino Martial Arts\, edged weapon tactics\, and tactical movement\, with additional instruction in Pekiti-Tirsia under Tuhon Tim Waid\, where he developed a strong focus on footwork\, range control\, and weapon application. He is also a Kru in Muay Thai Boxing under Ajarn Surachai “Chai” Sirisute\, bringing a powerful striking base to his overall approach. \nIn addition\, Alan is a Full Instructor in Progressive Martial Arts under Guro Paul Vunak\, known for building aggressive\, pressure-oriented combat skills\, and a Guro Level Three in Maphilindo Silat under Guro Dan Inosanto\, contributing elements of off-balancing\, limb control\, and positional dominance to his training methods. \nThrough seminars\, instructor programs\, and academy training\, Alan’s goal is simple: to provide students with clear\, effective self-defense skills rooted in proven martial traditions while adapting those principles for the realities of modern personal protection. \n\nAdditional Study Options\nThe C-Tac® Program\nIf you want to get more out of this event\, or show up already speaking the same language\, take some time to study the supporting material inside the C-Tac program. The system was built to provide a clear framework for practical self-defense training\, including awareness\, range management\, and integrated weapons access. Reviewing the material ahead of time will help you understand the concepts behind how we train and why the methods work. \nInside the program you’ll find a structured path for developing the core principles we’ll be working with during the event. This includes movement\, positioning\, timing\, and the integration of striking\, grappling\, and weapon access within a realistic self-defense context. If you want to sharpen your fundamentals and arrive already dialed in\, this is a great place to begin. \nC-Tac was developed to give students a reliable source of ongoing training\, even if they can’t work with me in person regularly. Through the online platform\, you’ll gain access to structured curriculum\, drills\, and instructional material that you can study at your own pace. You can train solo\, work with a partner\, or use it to support what you are already doing in your gym. \nFor those who want to go deeper\, the online training connects directly to live training opportunities through instructor camps\, seminars\, and other events throughout the year. The online material provides the roadmap. The in-person training refines it through coaching\, corrections\, and pressure-tested work. \nLearn more here: https://civilianTacticalcoach.com\n  \n\n  \n  \nSchedule An Event With Sifu Alan \nWe’re already booking seminars\, workshops\, and training camps for 2026.

SUMMARY:Civilian Tactical Instructor Camp
DESCRIPTION:THE C-TAC SELF-DEFENSE PROGRAM \nBridging The Gap Between Martial Arts And Self-Protection. \nAre you searching for a comprehensive self-defense system that goes beyond physical techniques? Look no further than the C-Tac® System. Designed to equip individuals with practical self-defense skills\, the C-Tac® System goes above and beyond by addressing various crucial aspects of personal protection. Let’s explore what sets the C-Tac® System apart and why it’s the right choice for those seeking a holistic approach to self-defense. \n  \nThe C-Tac® System Seamlessly Integrates Everyday Carry (EDC) \nIntegrating EDC principles into all of its training ensures that the tools and gear you carry daily are effectively utilized in self-defense scenarios. Our approach emphasizes the importance of being prepared with the right EDC items—whether it’s a knife\, flashlight\, or firearm\, and knowing how to deploy them efficiently under stress. Throughout our training\, you’ll learn how to incorporate your EDC into various defensive tactics\, blending these tools with your skills to maximize your protection. By making EDC an integral part of your training\, the C-Tac® System empowers you to be ready for any situation\, using the gear you have on hand every day. \nSituational Awareness \nin the C-Tac® System\, situational awareness is a fundamental component. Understanding your surroundings and being able to assess potential threats is crucial for personal safety. Our training focuses on honing your observation skills\, enhancing your ability to identify and assess potential dangers\, and developing a proactive mindset. We don’t just talk about situational awareness—we actively teach and practice techniques and drills designed to embed these critical skills into your nervous system. \nLegal Compliance \nSelf-defense should always operate within the confines of the law. With the C-Tac® System\, you’ll learn self-defense techniques that are not only effective but also legal. Our training emphasizes the importance of understanding the legal framework surrounding self-defense\, ensuring that you are equipped with the knowledge to make informed decisions in high-stress situations. \nPre-Fight Social Exchange \nRecognizing the signs of a potential confrontation before it escalates is essential. The C-Tac® System teaches you how to navigate pre-fight social exchanges\, diffusing conflicts and de-escalating situations whenever possible. By mastering effective communication and conflict resolution skills\, you can mitigate the need for physical confrontation. We ensure that everything we do remains within a framework that is both visually appropriate and socially acceptable.  \nReasonable Force Continuum \nUnderstanding the concept of reasonable force is vital for self-defense. The C-Tac® System follows a carefully structured force continuum\, guiding you through appropriate responses based on the level of threat. By adhering to this continuum\, you will learn to apply force proportionately and ethically\, ensuring your actions are justified in the eyes of the law. \nIntegrated Firearms and Empty Hand Techniques \nThe C-Tac® System recognizes the role firearms play in personal protection. Our training not only covers empty hand techniques but also integrates firearm skills seamlessly. You will learn how to effectively combine the use of firearms with empty hand techniques\, empowering you to handle diverse self-defense scenarios with confidence. \nPractical Grappling for the Street \nGround fighting and grappling can be crucial in real-life altercations. The C-Tac® System strongly emphasizes practical grappling techniques specifically tailored for self-defense situations. Our training provides you with the necessary skills to defend yourself both standing up and on the ground\, preparing you for a range of scenarios. In Tac we study 6 areas of training on the ground: \n\nGrappling: A fundamental study of grappling that blends techniques and strategies from Jiu-Jitsu\, Combat Submission Wrestling (CSW)\, Catch Wrestling\, and Shoot Boxing. This integrated approach emphasizes a more aggressive and effective style\, designed to enhance your versatility and adaptability in combat scenarios.\nEDC Grappling: When weapon systems are introduced into the grappling environment\, fundamental changes must be made. These adjustments impact everything from mechanics and techniques to movement itself. EDC Grappling addresses these critical shifts\, ensuring your grappling skills are effective and adaptable in scenarios involving everyday carry (EDC) weapons.\nAnti-Grappling: Anti- or counter-grappling is the study of the grappling environment\, focusing on understanding its dynamics and learning how to use them to your advantage in a fight. This approach equips you with strategies to neutralize or counter grappling techniques effectively\, turning the tables on your opponent.\nGround Fighting: When you incorporate weapons\, striking\, multiple opponents\, and challenging environments like sidewalks or parking lots\, the dynamics of ground fighting completely change. This approach prepares you for real-world scenarios where adaptability\, awareness\, and tactical thinking are essential for survival.\nDog Boxing: Dog Boxing focuses on the art of “out of position” fighting\, teaching you how to effectively defend and attack when you’re in unconventional or disadvantaged positions. It’s a specialized study designed to prepare you for real-world scenarios where perfect form and positioning aren’t always an option.\nGrounded Weapons Fighting: This isn’t about grappling with a firearm; it’s about applying the tactical principles typically used while standing—such as maintaining distance\, achieving a superior angle\, and controlling timing—all within the context of being on the ground. These strategies go beyond the limitations of traditional grappling to give you a more comprehensive approach to ground-based combat with weapons.\n\nJoin the Team Here: https://civtaccoach.com/ \n  \n  \nC-Tac® strives to bring real-world tactical training to the civilian world.\nTurn on any TV\, watch the news\, and you will see how changes in today’s world and our culture are creating the need for information and training that exceeds what a regular martial art school or Karate program has to offer. \nThe many benefits of martial arts in our culture have been proven over time and are more than mentioned here. Still\, today’s mar \n \ntial arts community does not offer the experience\, background\, or knowledge needed to effectively meet the needs of industries that need more narrow\, specialized applications. \nToday\, many “self-defense” instructors received their certification to teach by attending a three-day weekend seminar. Many groups in the martial arts that call themselves “martial arts practitioners” claim to offer solutions for today’s needs. Still\, when you peel back the layers of the so-called “realistic programs\,” they generally turn out to be just well-marketed nonsense that was pieced together to have something to sell to the unknowing civilian. \nC-Tac will give you a well-rounded\, effective personal protection plan that will cover intelligent threat assessment and planning\, essential firearm use and close-quarter manipulation (Disarms\, Weapon Retention)\, a practical and realistic defensive tactic (Self-Defense) that will work in multiple environments\, including hallways\, doorways\, ground fighting\, and in and around motor vehicles – to name a few. \nThe C-Tac system was developed to mentally and physically prepare you for dangerous situations by teaching you pre-fight conflict-resolution techniques and situational awareness. Both beginners and advanced students can train and become proficient in C-Tac. \nYou will study the urban weapons that allow you to take everyday objects and use them as tools in a threatening encounter. Also\, as part of the urban weapons program\, we show you how to use a bladed weapon or how to defend against the bladed weapon if someone attempts to use one on you. \nThere are two methods of study through the association. One is the student level which primarily involves studying with a certified instructor or studying virtually through the online video Training Academy on this website. Additionally\, the student can also attend one of the many seminars that Coach Baker teaches around the United States annually. The second option is for the Professional Martial Artist that is looking to implement the C-Tac program into their schedule at the Academy. The second option is achieved through the instructor training program. \n  \nJoin the Team Here: https://civtaccoach.com/ \n

SUMMARY:Legacy Academy Training Summit
DESCRIPTION:2026 Legacy Academy Training Summit\nThe Legacy Academy Training Summit is a concentrated\, hands-on immersion for serious martial artists and coaches who want to deepen their craft and reconnect with authentic training. Over three intense days\, you’ll train the core mechanics and live applications that tie the arts together: Filipino Kali\, Legacy Jeet Kune Do\, Wing Chun\, Thai Boxing\, and Chinese Boxing\, with optional labs in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Submission Wrestling. Every session is designed for progress. You’ll refine your structure\, timing\, and entries through partner drills and guided flow work. You’ll walk away with a tighter\, more connected skill set and the optional Legacy Academy Online Platform to keep your momentum going after the event. Full Admission participants also gain exclusive access to two focused sessions: the Keysi Fighting Method and The Warriors Path Program\, an inside look at the mindset\, structure\, and personal growth system created by Sifu Alan Baker. \nGet More Information HERE\n  \n\n  \n      \n \nThe Problem with Most Martial Arts Events\nMost training events offer a few sessions on one system\, led by a handful of instructors\, and then send you home with disconnected notes and no real plan to continue your growth. You get inspired for a weekend\, but the lessons fade as soon as you’re back on your own mat. Even worse\, most practitioners never get to experience the arts as they were meant to be\, connected. They train in isolated systems\, learning fragments rather than understanding how structure\, timing\, and mechanics intersect across different styles. The result? Slow progress\, shallow understanding\, and no real way to tie it all together. \nThat’s why the Legacy Academy Summit exists: to give you access to multiple rare systems in one immersive experience\, all unified through intelligent progressions. And with the Legacy Academy Online Platform\, you’ll have the support to keep training\, refining\, and improving long after the event ends. \nEvent Schedule Can Be Found Here: Summitschedule\n  \n\n  \nRegister EARLY! \nChoose your access: Pay by Session at $100 each (up to 3 general-admission sessions; excludes evening Keysi and Warriors Path specials)\, or go Full Admission for the entire weekend at $449 Early Bird (through May 1)\, $549 Standard\, or $649 Last-Minute/At the Door. \nTo register for this event Click here: https://sifualanbaker.com/legacy-summit/#legacysummitprice \n  \n   \nAdditional Study Options\nIf you want to get more out of this C-Tac training (or show up already speaking the same language)\, take a little time to study the supporting material ahead of the event. We have foundational videos\, concepts\, and drills inside the C-Tac platform that will give you the context for how we train and why we structure things the way we do. This is where you can get familiar with the core C-Tac principles we’ll be applying: awareness and pre-assault recognition\, managing critical distance\, pressure-tested shielding\, practical grappling that supports weapons access\, and how we connect tactics\, timing\, and body mechanics into a system that’s built for real-world use.

Let’s explore what sets the C-Tac® System apart and why it’s the right choice for those seeking a holistic approach to self-defense. \n  \nThe C-Tac® System Seamlessly Integrates Everyday Carry (EDC) \nIntegrating EDC principles into all of its training ensures that the tools and gear you carry daily are effectively utilized in self-defense scenarios. Our approach emphasizes the importance of being prepared with the right EDC items—whether it’s a knife\, flashlight\, or firearm\, and knowing how to deploy them efficiently under stress. Throughout our training\, you’ll learn how to incorporate your EDC into various defensive tactics\, blending these tools with your skills to maximize your protection. By making EDC an integral part of your training\, the C-Tac® System empowers you to be ready for any situation\, using the gear you have on hand every day. \nSituational Awareness \nin the C-Tac® System\, situational awareness is a fundamental component. Understanding your surroundings and being able to assess potential threats is crucial for personal safety. Our training focuses on honing your observation skills\, enhancing your ability to identify and assess potential dangers\, and developing a proactive mindset. We don’t just talk about situational awareness—we actively teach and practice techniques and drills designed to embed these critical skills into your nervous system. \nLegal Compliance \nSelf-defense should always operate within the confines of the law. With the C-Tac® System\, you’ll learn self-defense techniques that are not only effective but also legal. Our training emphasizes the importance of understanding the legal framework surrounding self-defense\, ensuring that you are equipped with the knowledge to make informed decisions in high-stress situations. \nPre-Fight Social Exchange \nRecognizing the signs of a potential confrontation before it escalates is essential. The C-Tac® System teaches you how to navigate pre-fight social exchanges\, diffusing conflicts and de-escalating situations whenever possible. By mastering effective communication and conflict resolution skills\, you can mitigate the need for physical confrontation. We ensure that everything we do remains within a framework that is both visually appropriate and socially acceptable.  \nReasonable Force Continuum \nUnderstanding the concept of reasonable force is vital for self-defense. The C-Tac® System follows a carefully structured force continuum\, guiding you through appropriate responses based on the level of threat. By adhering to this continuum\, you will learn to apply force proportionately and ethically\, ensuring your actions are justified in the eyes of the law. \nIntegrated Firearms and Empty Hand Techniques \nThe C-Tac® System recognizes the role firearms play in personal protection. Our training not only covers empty hand techniques but also integrates firearm skills seamlessly. You will learn how to effectively combine the use of firearms with empty hand techniques\, empowering you to handle diverse self-defense scenarios with confidence. \nPractical Grappling for the Street \nGround fighting and grappling can be crucial in real-life altercations. The C-Tac® System strongly emphasizes practical grappling techniques specifically tailored for self-defense situations. Our training provides you with the necessary skills to defend yourself both standing up and on the ground\, preparing you for a range of scenarios. In Tac we study 6 areas of training on the ground: \n\nGrappling: A fundamental study of grappling that blends techniques and strategies from Jiu-Jitsu\, Combat Submission Wrestling (CSW)\, Catch Wrestling\, and Shoot Boxing. This integrated approach emphasizes a more aggressive and effective style\, designed to enhance your versatility and adaptability in combat scenarios.\nEDC Grappling: When weapon systems are introduced into the grappling environment\, fundamental changes must be made. These adjustments impact everything from mechanics and techniques to movement itself. EDC Grappling addresses these critical shifts\, ensuring your grappling skills are effective and adaptable in scenarios involving everyday carry (EDC) weapons.\nAnti-Grappling: Anti- or counter-grappling is the study of the grappling environment\, focusing on understanding its dynamics and learning how to use them to your advantage in a fight. This approach equips you with strategies to neutralize or counter grappling techniques effectively\, turning the tables on your opponent.\nGround Fighting: When you incorporate weapons\, striking\, multiple opponents\, and challenging environments like sidewalks or parking lots\, the dynamics of ground fighting completely change. This approach prepares you for real-world scenarios where adaptability\, awareness\, and tactical thinking are essential for survival.\nDog Boxing: Dog Boxing focuses on the art of “out of position” fighting\, teaching you how to effectively defend and attack when you’re in unconventional or disadvantaged positions. It’s a specialized study designed to prepare you for real-world scenarios where perfect form and positioning aren’t always an option.\nGrounded Weapons Fighting: This isn’t about grappling with a firearm; it’s about applying the tactical principles typically used while standing—such as maintaining distance\, achieving a superior angle\, and controlling timing—all within the context of being on the ground. These strategies go beyond the limitations of traditional grappling to give you a more comprehensive approach to ground-based combat with weapons.\n\n\n  \nC-Tac® strives to bring real-world tactical training to the civilian world.\nTurn on any TV\, watch the news\, and you will see how changes in today’s world and our culture are creating the need for information and training that exceeds what a regular martial art school or Karate program has to offer. \nThe many benefits of martial arts in our culture have been proven over time and are more than mentioned here. Still\, today’s mar \n \ntial arts community does not offer the experience\, background\, or knowledge needed to effectively meet the needs of industries that need more narrow\, specialized applications. \nToday\, many “self-defense” instructors received their certification to teach by attending a three-day weekend seminar. Many groups in the martial arts that call themselves “martial arts practitioners” claim to offer solutions for today’s needs. Still\, when you peel back the layers of the so-called “realistic programs\,” they generally turn out to be just well-marketed nonsense that was pieced together to have something to sell to the unknowing civilian. \nC-Tac will give you a well-rounded\, effective personal protection plan that will cover intelligent threat assessment and planning\, essential firearm use and close-quarter manipulation (Disarms\, Weapon Retention)\, a practical and realistic defensive tactic (Self-Defense) that will work in multiple environments\, including hallways\, doorways\, ground fighting\, and in and around motor vehicles – to name a few. \nThe C-Tac system was developed to mentally and physically prepare you for dangerous situations by teaching you pre-fight conflict-resolution techniques and situational awareness. Both beginners and advanced students can train and become proficient in C-Tac. \nYou will study the urban weapons that allow you to take everyday objects and use them as tools in a threatening encounter. Also\, as part of the urban weapons program\, we show you how to use a bladed weapon or how to defend against the bladed weapon if someone attempts to use one on you. \nThere are two methods of study through the association. One is the student level which primarily involves studying with a certified instructor or studying virtually through the online video Training Academy on this website. Additionally\, the student can also attend one of the many seminars that Coach Baker teaches around the United States annually. The second option is for the Professional Martial Artist that is looking to implement the C-Tac program into their schedule at the Academy. The second option is achieved through the instructor training program. \n  \n\n  \nAdditional Study Options\nIf you want to get more out of this C-Tac training (or show up already speaking the same language)\, take a little time to study the supporting material ahead of the event. We have foundational videos\, concepts\, and drills inside the C-Tac platform that will give you the context for how we train and why we structure things the way we do. This is where you can get familiar with the core C-Tac principles we’ll be applying: awareness and pre-assault recognition\, managing critical distance\, pressure-tested shielding\, practical grappling that supports weapons access\, and how we connect tactics\, timing\, and body mechanics into a system that’s built for real-world use. If you want to sharpen your fundamentals and step onto the mat already dialed in\, start there and come in ready to train.
