Space is limited\n \n\n\nThe Annual Conference Experience \nFour days of connected study and practice\nThe Annual Jiu Jitsu Conference brings practitioners together for four days of concentrated study\, technical refinement\, live practice\, and shared learning. Professor Alan Baker organizes the experience around mechanical understanding\, progressive skill development\, and the ability to apply principles under changing conditions. \nWe will use a rolling schedule of drills\, open rolling sessions\, and focused rounds designed to push your limits. A round timer will run continuously. You are free to step off the mat whenever you need a break\, but the training environment continues. Those who want to test themselves can remain on the mat and train hard across the conference. \nThis is an opportunity to study the art as a connected system\, refine the details that make techniques work\, and leave with a clearer path for continued development. \n \n\n\n\nProgressive Training Flow \nTrain the complete cycle\n\n\n01\n\nBridge the gap\nClose distance safely and effectively against an opponent who may be striking or maintaining range. \n\n\n\n02\n\nEnter and take down\nUse entries and takedowns that create a dominant position without unnecessary exposure to risk. \n\n\n\n03\n\nControl and transition\nEstablish and maintain side control\, mount\, and back control under pressure.

Understand how every piece connects from first engagement to fight conclusion. \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nInstruction \nOverseen by Professor Alan Baker and guests\nProfessor Alan Baker brings a rare and well rounded perspective to grappling. He holds a fourth degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under Master Pedro Sauer\, a Full Instructorship under Master Erik Paulson\, and a second degree black belt in Judo. He also holds instructor ranks in Filipino Dumog and Silat. \nThis cross disciplinary background allows him to blend structure\, leverage\, and adaptability. Professor Baker tailors his instruction to the students on the mat and helps practitioners of different styles and experience levels develop a more complete and intelligent understanding of grappling. \n\nParticipants will leave with clearer structure\, improved efficiency\, and a deeper grasp of how Jiu Jitsu principles work in real situations. \n\n \n\n\n\n\nThe Art \nWhat is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?\nBrazilian Jiu Jitsu is a martial art focused on leverage\, control\, and technique rather than size or strength. It teaches practitioners to defend themselves through positional control\, joint locks\, and chokeholds. The art emphasizes ground fighting and develops physical skill and mental discipline through live practice. \nBrazilian Jiu Jitsu was built on the principle that knowledge and leverage can overcome size and strength. Preserving that truth matters. This conference returns to the art’s foundation through efficiency\, structure\, and intelligent mechanics. Professor Baker’s mission is to help good people train smarter\, protect themselves\, and pass on authentic knowledge that strengthens the community. \n \n\n \n\n\n\nWoodstock\, Georgia \nTrain at Atlanta Martial Arts Center\n\n\nAtlanta Martial Arts Center\n180 Parkway 575\, Suite 110Woodstock\, Georgia 30188 \nHome base for the complete four day Annual Jiu Jitsu Conference. \n \n\nReview the academy\, location information\, and local training programs before you arrive. \n Visit the Training Center\n \n \n \n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n $300 \nReserve your place for all four days\nYour registration includes the complete Annual Jiu Jitsu Conference from April 30 through May 3.

Many programs fail to consider the visual and social perceptions of techniques used in public settings. They lack robust de-escalation methods\, crucial in managing potential conflicts without escalating to violence. Furthermore\, these programs often do not address the legal implications and litigation concerns protection agents might face in the line of duty. This gap in training can leave agents unprepared for the nuanced realities of their profession. \nProtection Response Tactics is meticulously crafted to fill this critical gap. Our program is tailored specifically for protection agents\, focusing on the subtleties of conducting oneself in high-tension scenarios while being mindful of public perception and legal ramifications. We emphasize strong de-escalation techniques\, providing agents with effective tools to diffuse conflicts without resorting to excessive force. Our comprehensive training also covers the legal aspects of protection work\, preparing agents to make informed decisions that minimize the risk of litigation. With Protection Response Tactics\, agents can confidently navigate the complexities of their role\, armed with a skill set that is both effective and conscientious. \n\nTHE PROGRAM \nProtection Response Tactics is a comprehensive program designed to equip protection agents with the skills needed for various critical scenarios. The program is structured into six phases\, each focusing on protection and defensive tactics. \nPhase 1: Foundation in Posturing and De-Escalation \nThis phase lays the groundwork for posturing\, verbal tactics\, and de-escalation. Trainees learn advanced soft control methods for handling low-level resistance and mastering visually appropriate control techniques for delicate situations. This phase emphasizes pre-contact applications\, setting the stage for effective interaction management. \nPhase 2: Assault-Level Tactics and Predator Mindset \nPhase 2 escalates to dealing with assault-level threats and multiple opponents. This stage is crucial for developing ‘the switch’—the ability to rapidly transition into a heightened state of readiness. Embracing the predator mindset is key in preparing agents for aggressive encounters. \nPhase 3: Environmental Mastery \nTrainees master navigating challenging environments such as halls\, walls\, and doors. Vehicle Centric Defensive Tactics are also a significant focus\, ensuring agents are prepared for scenarios involving or around vehicles. \nPhase 4: Counter Grappling and Ground Fighting \nThis phase equips agents with skills in Counter Grappling and Ground Fighting\, including tactical avoidance of grappling scenarios. It’s designed to provide agents with the tools to defend themselves and effectively maintain control on the ground. \nPhase 5: Weapon-Based Attack Principles \nIn Phase 5\, the program dives deep into the principles of success in weapon-based attacks. This phase goes beyond teaching techniques\, focusing on the fundamental principles necessary to survive and excel in armed confrontations. Trainees gain an understanding of the principles behind effective disarmament\, enabling adaptability across various situations. \nPhase 6: Armed Pummeling Fundamentals \nThe final phase explores standing grappling\, focusing on essential skills for weapon retention and disarming in close-quarter encounters. This phase is crucial for understanding and applying techniques in scenarios where both parties are armed. \nEach phase of the Protection Response Tactics program is meticulously designed to build upon the previous\, ensuring a holistic and comprehensive training experience for protection agents.

Space is limited\n \n\n\nThe Fight Lab Experience \nA continuous environment for serious improvement\nThis training camp is inspired by the original Fight Lab sessions Alan Baker used to run with his staff once a year. Those sessions brought the team together for several days of intensive\, nonstop training. That tradition is the foundation of this camp. \nWe will use a rolling schedule of drills\, open rolling sessions\, and focused rounds designed to push your limits. A round timer will run continuously. You are free to step off the mat whenever you need a break\, but the training environment continues. Those who want to test themselves can remain on the mat and train hard across the camp. \nThis is an opportunity to immerse yourself in a continuous training environment that is focused on pushing boundaries\, refining skill\, and taking your Jiu Jitsu to the next level. \n \n\n\n\nProgressive Training Flow \nTrain the complete cycle\n\n\n01\n\nBridge the gap\nClose distance safely and effectively against an opponent who may be striking or maintaining range. \n\n\n\n02\n\nEnter and take down\nUse entries and takedowns that create a dominant position without unnecessary exposure to risk. \n\n\n\n03\n\nControl and transition\nEstablish and maintain side control\, mount\, and back control under pressure.

He holds a fourth degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under Master Pedro Sauer\, a Full Instructorship under Master Erik Paulson\, and a second degree black belt in Judo. He also holds instructor ranks in Filipino Dumog and Silat. \nThis cross disciplinary background allows him to blend structure\, leverage\, and adaptability. Professor Baker tailors his instruction to the students on the mat and helps practitioners of different styles and experience levels develop a more complete and intelligent understanding of grappling. \n\nParticipants will leave with clearer structure\, improved efficiency\, and a deeper grasp of how Jiu Jitsu principles work in real situations. \n\n \n\n\n\n\nThe Art \nWhat is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?\nBrazilian Jiu Jitsu is a martial art focused on leverage\, control\, and technique rather than size or strength. It teaches practitioners to defend themselves through positional control\, joint locks\, and chokeholds. The art emphasizes ground fighting and develops physical skill and mental discipline through live practice. \nBrazilian Jiu Jitsu was built on the principle that knowledge and leverage can overcome size and strength. Preserving that truth matters. This camp returns to the art’s foundation through efficiency\, structure\, and intelligent mechanics. Professor Baker’s mission is to help good people train smarter\, protect themselves\, and pass on authentic knowledge that strengthens the community. \n \n\n \n\n\n\nWoodstock\, Georgia \nTrain at Atlanta Martial Arts Center\n\n\nAtlanta Martial Arts Center\n180 Parkway 575\, Suite 110Woodstock\, Georgia 30188 \nHome base for the three day training camp and the October 4 affiliate training day. \n \n\nReview the academy\, location information\, and local training programs before you arrive. \n Visit the Training Center\n \n \n \n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n $250 \nReserve your place for all three days\nYour registration includes the October 2 and 3 training camp plus the October 4 affiliate training day.

Traditional training often falls short of preparing you for the dynamic nature of these threats\, which is where our Protection Response Tactics® (PRT) program comes in. Developed by industry experts with experience in challenging environments\, PRT combines advanced defensive techniques\, strategic thinking\, and situational awareness to elevate your skills to an elite level. \nCertification training events span three days\, focusing on instructor-level development. During this time\, you’ll learn the core curriculum\, teaching drills\, and presentation skills needed to effectively deliver the Protection Response Tactics® program at your certification level. Once certified\, you can attend any PRT Instructor Training events throughout your certification period. \n\nAccess to instructor Training events throughout your certification period.\nAccess to the online video resources.\nTeaching Manuals and reference materials. \nInstructor Listing on the PRT website. \nTrained In-Person By The Founder Of The System\n\n  \nMORE INFORMATION HERE: https://prtinstructor.com\n  \nPRT offers appropriate solutions to all levels of risk.\n\n\nProfessional bodyguards prioritize reducing risk to their clients by employing various countermeasures. Their primary goal is to avoid confrontation whenever possible\, opting for client evacuation as the preferred strategy. However\, there are situations where avoidance and evacuation are not viable options. In such cases\, the appropriate response may involve the application of physical force. The Protection Response Tactics® system equips professional bodyguards with the necessary tools to respond effectively in such scenarios.\nIn today’s context\, with the growing popularity of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)\, professional bodyguards must contend with adversaries who possess heightened awareness and training. Despite diligent efforts to prevent conflicts\, circumstances may arise where the professional bodyguard or personal protection specialist must engage with immediate threats. The Protection Response Tactics® program addresses these challenges by providing comprehensive training and strategies to handle such encounters with reason and expertise.

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  URL:https://sifualanbaker.com/event/civilian-tactical-instructor-camp-2/ LOCATION:Atlanta Martial Arts Center\, 180 Parkway 575\, Suite 110\, Woodstock\, GA 30188\, Woodstock\, GA\, 30188\, United States CATEGORIES:C-Tac (Civilian Tactical) ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://sifualanbaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/4FF64AF2-70BB-4EC4-AE5B-91E7FD49AB64.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260717 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260720 DTSTAMP:20260621T201844Z CREATED:20260429T233059Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260621T201844Z UID:19608-1784246400-1784505599@sifualanbaker.com SUMMARY:Combatives At The Lake - Alabama DESCRIPTION:Alabama Combatives at the Lake\nC-Tac Training Day | July 18\, 2026\n9:00 AM to 12:30 P.M.  –  1:30 PM to 5:30 PM\nIf you are coming to Combatives at the Lake for one day in particular\, July 18 is the day to lock in.\nThis full training day will be led by Sifu Alan Baker and will center on the C-Tac Program\, with a major emphasis on the Weaponized Grappling curriculum. The focus is not sport. It is not theory without context. It is not disconnected technique collection. This is training designed around the realities of civilian self-protection\, everyday carry\, entangled weapons access\, and close-range violence. \nThroughout the day\, students will work through core elements of the C-Tac system built around a force continuum\, giving them a clearer understanding of how to apply the right tools at the right time under pressure. The material will be structured around the practical integration of everyday carry\, including the use and protection of the firearm\, bladed weapon\, and other potential urban weapons that may come into play in real-world environments. \nA major portion of the day will be dedicated to weapon-focused grappling\, one of the defining elements of the C-Tac curriculum. This material addresses what happens when distance collapses\, weapons are present\, and the fight becomes entangled. Students will train the skills needed to manage position\, access tools\, deny access to the opponent\, maintain control\, and function inside the chaos of grounded and clinched combat where weapons change everything. \nIn addition to the C-Tac core material\, selected elements from the Keysi Fighting Method will also be introduced as part of the assault-level portion of the training day. These pieces will support the overall theme of close-range functionality\, pressure\, structure\, and survival inside hard-contact environments. \nREGISTER HERE:\n  \n\n \nWhat You’ll Train On July 18\nSession One (9-12:30)\nIn Session One\, you will work through the core C-Tac perspective and foundational material. The method is built and trained around the force continuum\, giving the practitioner a structured progression of tools for different levels of conflict. \nTraining will begin with verbal tools and progress into soft-control options\, assault-level responses\, and lethal-force considerations. The goal is to provide the practitioner with solid\, functional options at each level of force\, while developing the ability to recognize when and how those tools may be appropriate. \nAt the assault level\, we will also explore selected elements from the Keysi Fighting Method. This material will help you build a stronger understanding of close-quarter pressure\, protective structure\, and functional response under stress. \nSession Two (1:30-5:30)\nIn Session Two\, we will take a deep dive into Weaponized Grappling\, one of the C-Tac subsystems. This session will explore how the presence of weapons changes the entire grappling environment\, including positional control\, transitions\, access\, denial\, and survival at close range. \nThis subsystem takes a unique approach. It is not simply a matter of adding weapons into traditional grappling training. Instead\, Weaponized Grappling examines how grappling must be specifically designed around weapon systems\, weapon access\, weapon retention\, and the realities of fighting in close-contact environments. The goal is to help the practitioner understand how weapons change the priorities\, mechanics\, and decision-making process once the fight enters grappling range. \n  \n \n\n \nWho This Day Is For\nThis training is ideal for serious civilians\, martial artists\, firearms practitioners\, protection professionals\, and coaches who want a deeper look at how close-range self-protection really works when weapons are part of the environment. \nIf your training has kept striking separate from grappling\, or firearms separate from entangled fighting\, this day will help close that gap. \nWhy This Matters\nMost people train these areas in isolation. They box without weapons. Grapple without access problems. Carry firearms without understanding what happens when someone crashes distance. Work knife material without integrating clinch or ground realities. \nThe C-Tac curriculum is built to tie those pieces together. \nThat is what makes July 18 such an important day inside this event. It is a full immersion into the part of the problem most people never train honestly. \nTrain the reality of entangled weapons access.\nTrain the integration of empty hand\, blade\, and firearm.\nTrain a system built for the real world. \n  \n\n \nREGISTER HERE:\n  \n\n \nWhat is Combatives at the Lake? \nCombatives at the Lake is a collaborative\, integrated training retreat built for serious students\, instructors\, and armed citizens who want more than a typical weekend seminar. Set in Double Springs\, Alabama\, the event combines combatives\, defensive firearms\, and medical training in one immersive environment designed to help people train across the full spectrum of civilian violence management. Rather than separating training from lodging and community\, the event brings everything together in one place with on-site housing\, shared meals\, matted training space\, and access to a nearby private range. The result is a more focused\, high-value experience with less wasted time\, more meaningful reps\, and stronger connections between the people involved. \nWhat makes Combatives at the Lake different is its collaborative model and the environment itself. Instructors train alongside students\, experienced coaches contribute as training partners\, and the shared setting creates a deeper level of learning than most traditional events. The curriculum is built around practical\, real-world application and may include managing unknown contacts\, verbal and movement-based problem solving\, legally justifiable force\, clinch and ground issues for armed citizens\, the use of empty hand\, less-lethal tools\, edged weapons\, and firearms\, along with medical considerations and survival mindset. It is not built around personality or ego. It is built around training\, community\, and the kind of integration that helps people leave more capable\, more connected\, and better prepared. \nMORE INFO HERE \n\n  \nTaught By Sifu Alan Baker \n \nProfessor Alan Baker is a high-performance coach\, internationally recognized martial arts and self-defense expert\, and the founder of the Civilian Tactical Training Association and the C-Tac® Program. With over 46 years of continuous experience in the martial arts\, fitness\, and personal protection fields\, he has trained continuously since 1981 and has taught professionally since 1990. His work is centered on helping students\, instructors\, and professionals develop functional combative skills that hold up under pressure and apply in the realities of modern violence. Alan founded C-Tac® in 2015 to create a more complete and honest approach to civilian self-protection and combative development. The program was built to integrate striking\, weapons\, grappling\, situational awareness\, and force-continuum decision-making into one usable system. Rather than teaching isolated skills\, C-Tac® is designed to help students understand how empty hand\, firearm\, blade\, and environmental factors intersect in real-world conflict. A major emphasis of the program is developing adaptable\, legally defensible\, and performance-driven responses for close-range violence\, entangled fights\, and weapon-based problems. In the tactical training field\, Alan has taught countermeasures\, defensive tactics\, firearms\, and edged-weapon programs to Fortune 500 corporate security teams\, law enforcement personnel\, and SWAT teams throughout the United States. He has also had the privilege of working with and designing training programs for the Department of Defense and other specialized government and military organizations. His experience in this arena has helped shape the applied structure and operational focus of the C-Tac® curriculum. Alan is a certified Personal Protection Specialist and serves as the Defensive Tactics Instructor for The Executive Protection Institute in Clarke County\, Virginia. He also teaches Vehicle-Centric Defensive Tactics for the Vehicle Dynamics Institute in New Jersey. Both EPI and VDI are widely recognized as top-level schools in the world of executive protection\, tactical driving\, and high-end security training. These experiences continue to influence the structure\, relevance\, and real-world application of his training systems.

Participants will leave with clearer structure\, improved efficiency\, and a deeper grasp of how to apply Jiu-Jitsu principles in real situations. \n  \n\n  \nWhat is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?\n \nBrazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art focused on leverage\, control\, and technique rather than size or strength.It teaches practitioners how to defend themselves by using positional control\, joint locks\, and chokeholds to neutralize an opponent. The art emphasizes ground fighting\, where most real altercations tend to end\, and it builds both physical skill and mental discipline through live\, hands-on practice. BJJ is often described as “human chess” because it challenges you to think strategically while applying precise mechanics. It’s one of the most effective self-defense systems in the world and a proven foundation for fitness\, confidence\, and personal growth. \nBrazilian Jiu-Jitsu was built on the principle that knowledge and leverage can overcome size and strength. Preserving that truth matters. This seminar exists to return to the art’s foundation\, efficiency\, structure\, and intelligent mechanics\, taught in a way that honors the lineage and advances the next generation of practitioners. Professor Baker’s mission is to help good people train smarter\, protect themselves\, and pass on authentic knowledge that strengthens the community. \n  \n\n  \nReserve Your Spot for the Athens BJJ Seminar\nDon’t miss this opportunity to train with one of the most well-rounded grappling instructors in the world.

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.

In addition to being an active participant\, I serve as the Association Director for the Combat Submission Wrestling Association. \nIf you would like more information about this event or details on the CSW Affiliate Instructor Training Program\, you can contact me directly through this website.

Traditional training often falls short of preparing you for the dynamic nature of these threats\, which is where our Protection Response Tactics® (PRT) program comes in. Developed by industry experts with experience in challenging environments\, PRT combines advanced defensive techniques\, strategic thinking\, and situational awareness to elevate your skills to an elite level. \nCertification training events span three days\, focusing on instructor-level development. During this time\, you’ll learn the core curriculum\, teaching drills\, and presentation skills needed to effectively deliver the Protection Response Tactics® program at your certification level. Once certified\, you can attend any PRT Instructor Training events throughout your certification period. \n\nAccess to instructor Training events throughout your certification period.\nAccess to the online video resources.\nTeaching Manuals and reference materials. \nInstructor Listing on the PRT website. \nTrained In-Person By The Founder Of The System\n\n  \nMORE INFORMATION HERE: https://prtinstructor.com\n  \nPRT offers appropriate solutions to all levels of risk.\n\n\nProfessional bodyguards prioritize reducing risk to their clients by employing various countermeasures. Their primary goal is to avoid confrontation whenever possible\, opting for client evacuation as the preferred strategy. However\, there are situations where avoidance and evacuation are not viable options. In such cases\, the appropriate response may involve the application of physical force. The Protection Response Tactics® system equips professional bodyguards with the necessary tools to respond effectively in such scenarios.\nIn today’s context\, with the growing popularity of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)\, professional bodyguards must contend with adversaries who possess heightened awareness and training. Despite diligent efforts to prevent conflicts\, circumstances may arise where the professional bodyguard or personal protection specialist must engage with immediate threats. The Protection Response Tactics® program addresses these challenges by providing comprehensive training and strategies to handle such encounters with reason and expertise.
