SUMMARY:Keysi Fighting Method Open Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Keysi Fighting Method Open Workshop\nApril 4th – 3 PM to 5 PM\nKeysi Fighting Method (KFM) is a close-quarters self-defense system designed for chaotic\, real-world environments. It builds from strong body structure and the Pensador guard\, using short-range striking to protect the head and spine\, regain initiative\, and create a safe exit. What sets Keysi apart is its structure-first approach\, tight elbows and forearms\, smart head positioning\, and tactical movement that changes angles and levels quickly. Training is environment-aware\, so you learn to solve problems against walls\, in corners\, through doorways\, and in and around vehicles. It also develops awareness and decision making for multiple-opponent scenarios and keeps the mechanics simple enough to perform under stress.\nTraining sessions use progressive drills that connect structure\, strikes\, clinch control\, and exits\, with pad work\, partner mechanics\, and scenario rounds under controlled pressure. Coaching addresses legality\, visual appropriateness\, and what to do afterward. Keysi works for both beginners and experienced practitioners who want practical\, pressure-tested skills they can practice solo or with partners.\n\n\n\n \nTaught By Alan Baker\, a globally recognized martial arts and self-defense expert\, is renowned for his transformative Warriors Path Self-Improvement Program. With over 45 years in martial arts\, he is experienced in over 20 systems\, including the Keysi Fighting Method (Keysi Fighting Method )\, which he had studied for over 17 years; he’s notably the US Director for KFM and oversees the instructor training program. His expertise extends to Gracie Jiu-Jitsu\, Judo\, Jeet Kune Do\, Thai Boxing\, Wing Chun Kung & Shaolin Fu\, Filipino Kali\, Indonesian Silat and Combat Submission Wrestling / Catch Wrestling. His extensive background provides him with an unconventional approach to teaching\, allowing him to integrate various techniques and insights into a distinctive and effective educational style. This approach offers a varied learning experience\, distinguishing his methods from others.\nSifu Baker has impacted thousands internationally through Baker Defensive Tactics (BDT). He has taught countermeasures and cutting-edge defensive tactics\, firearms\, & edged- weapon programs to Fortune 500 corporate security teams\, law enforcement departments\, and SWAT teams. \n\n\n\n\n \nOnly 20 spots available; register now to secure yours.\nClick Here:\nhttps://buy.stripe.com/4gM5kD9LJ3hzcYyaJn7EQ0V\n\n \n\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.

SUMMARY:Alan Baker's Jiu-Jitsu Conference 2026
DESCRIPTION:Alan ‘Dedão‘ Baker’s Jiu-Jitsu Conference 2026\nApril 17\, 2026 – April 18\, 2026\nTimes: 9-12 and 1-4 Each Day\nA Two-Day Immersion in Jiu-Jitsu In Woodstock Georgia\nJoin us in 2026 for an intensive three-day Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu event designed to expand your skills\, sharpen your timing\, and deepen your understanding of the art. This conference is built around my unique mechanical approach to grappling and Jiu-Jitsu\, developed over decades of training in multiple martial arts systems. \nOver the course of the event\, you will train in a progressive format that covers mechanics\, positional control\, transitions\, and submissions\, along with the integration of self-defense tactics for both armed and unarmed environments. Each session builds on the last\, moving from structured drills to fluid application\, ensuring you leave with both new techniques and the ability to apply them under pressure. \nThis is not a sport-only event. While the principles you will learn can enhance competitive performance\, the focus is on functional Jiu-Jitsu for all environments\, whether you are on the mats\, teaching students\, or handling a self-defense situation. \nWhether you are a dedicated student\, an instructor looking to refine your teaching\, or a practitioner seeking a deeper and more adaptable approach to Jiu-Jitsu\, this conference will challenge\, inspire\, and elevate your game. \nWhat We’ll Cover\nExact content will be adjusted to the skill level in the room\, but the training will revolve around: \n\nThe science of position: alignment\, posture\, base\, and pressure\nMovement that creates advantage: angles\, wedges\, frames\, and timing\nEscapes and recoveries that keep you from getting stuck underneath\nControl and transitions that lead to dominant positions\nHigh-percentage attacks that come from control\nSimple tactical decision-making you can use in rolling immediately\n\nWho This Seminar Is For\n\nBeginners who want a faster learning curve and fewer bad habits\nIntermediate students who want better efficiency and sharper mechanics\nAdvanced students who want higher-level problem solving and detail\nCoaches who want a structured way to teach mechanics and strategy\n\nWhat To Bring\n\nGi and belt & No-Gi (Both will be there)\nWater\nNotebook (optional)\nA readiness to train and learn\n\n  \nRegister Here: https://buy.stripe.com/eVq28r3nl3hzbUug3H7EQ0U\n  \n\n\nFeaturing Professor Alan Baker’s Living Mechanics Method\nThis year’s conference will feature special sessions taught by Professor Alan Baker\, who will present his unique method known as Living Mechanics. Developed over more than four decades of training in over 30 martial arts systems\, Living Mechanics is a principle-based approach to grappling and Jiu-Jitsu that goes far beyond memorizing techniques. \nThe method focuses on intelligent body alignment\, unitary motion\, and the ability to generate and control pressure with precision. It trains practitioners to read and respond to an opponent’s movements in real time\, adapt instantly to changes in position or resistance\, and apply these mechanics effectively in both sport and real-world self-defense situations\, including armed environments. \nLiving Mechanics offers a fluid\, adaptable\, and highly efficient approach to grappling that can elevate any practitioner’s game\, whether they are a competitor\, instructor\, or dedicated student of the art. \n\n\nAbout Professor Alan Baker\nAlan Baker is a globally recognized martial arts and self-defense instructor\, author\, and speaker. Known as the “Agent of Change\,” he has trained for over four decades and has taught professionally since 1990\, working with thousands of students over the past 30+ years. \nProfessor Baker is a 4th Degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt under Pedro Sauer\, a Full Instructor under Erik Paulson\, and a 2nd Degree Judo Black Belt under Master Bob Byrd. His approach to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is built on a broad base of study across multiple martial arts\, giving him a wider lens than many single-system instructors. That depth translates into a stronger understanding of the “human machine” and how to teach positioning and movement so the art works under pressure\, especially against bigger\, more vigorous opponents. \nIn addition\, Alan’s background working with law enforcement and the military\, along with 18 years as a bodyguard\, gives him a serious self-defense lens. This seminar will stay rooted in solid jiu-jitsu\, but it will be taught with the realism and accountability that comes from real-world experience. \n  \n\n\nAditional Study Options\n \nIf you want to get more out of this seminar (or show up already speaking the same language)\, you can study Professor Alan Baker’s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu methods ahead of time and access supporting material through his BJJ page here: https://sifualanbaker.com/alan-baker-brazilian-jiu-jitsu/ \nThis is where you can dig into Alan’s Living Mechanics approach to Jiu-Jitsu: the core principles that make positions work\, how to build timing and pressure without relying on size\, and how Alan connects tactics\, strategy\, and body mechanics into a functional game you can actually apply. If you want to sharpen your fundamentals and get familiar with the training concepts we’ll be using at the seminar\, start there and come in ready to train. \n  \n\n  \nSchedule An Event With Professor Alan \nWe’re already booking seminars\, workshops\, and training camps for 2026.

SUMMARY:Protection Response Tactics Instructor Course - Atlanta GA
DESCRIPTION:In today’s unpredictable world\, security threats are constant\, and as a protector\, you are responsible for mitigating risks and responding effectively. 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.

SUMMARY:Open Protection Response Tactics Course
DESCRIPTION:The next open Protection Response Tactics course will take place in Martinsburg\, West Virginia\, as part of the Executive Protection Institute’s seven-day program. This is the only opportunity for the public to access the full program in its entirety.\nYou can contact us directly with any questions or if you need assistance securing your course spot.\n\nLearn More About PRT Here:\nhttps://sifualanbaker.com/protection-response-tactics/\n\nLearn About the PRT Instructor Certification Here:\nhttps://prtinstructor.com\n\n\n\nIn today’s high-stakes world\, the unique needs of protection agents are often overlooked in traditional martial arts and defensive tactics programs. 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.

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. If you want to sharpen your fundamentals and step onto the mat already dialed in\, start there and come in ready to train.

SUMMARY:Protection Response Tactics Instructor Course - Atlanta GA
DESCRIPTION:In today’s unpredictable world\, security threats are constant\, and as a protector\, you are responsible for mitigating risks and responding effectively. 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.

SUMMARY:Alan 'dedão' Baker's Jiu-Jitsu Training Camp
DESCRIPTION:Alan “Dedão” Baker’s Jiu-Jitsu Training Camp\nStep Into the Ultimate Fight Lab Experience \nThis training camp isn’t just another seminar\, it’s inspired by the original “Fight Lab” sessions I used to run with my staff once a year. Back then\, we’d come together for a few days of intensive\, nonstop training\, and that tradition is what this camp is all about. \nAt this camp\, we’ll have a rolling schedule of drills\, open rolling sessions\, and focused rounds designed to push your limits. We’ll have a round timer running continuously\, and while you’re free to step off the mat whenever you need a break\, the training doesn’t stop. This means those who want to test themselves can stay on the mat and push hard for the entire camp\, leading to tremendous improvement over just a few days. \nIn essence\, this camp is your opportunity to immerse yourself in a continuous training environment that’s all about pushing boundaries\, refining your skills\, and taking your Jiu-Jitsu to the next level. \n\n  \nwe will follow a progressive training flow designed to build your skills from first contact to ground control. The camp will begin by working on bridging the gap\, closing distance safely and effectively against an opponent who may be striking or maintaining range. From there\, we will move into takedowns and entries designed to put you in a dominant position without exposing yourself to unnecessary risk. \nOnce on the ground\, we will train positional control strategies\, learning how to establish and maintain dominance in key positions such as side control\, mount\, and back control. We will focus on both holding these positions under pressure and transitioning fluidly between them. \nFrom dominant positions\, we will explore submission opportunities\, emphasizing mechanical efficiency\, control\, and timing. We will also address how to adapt these submissions for different environments\, including self-defense situations. \nThe flow will then reverse\, covering how to escape from bad positions\, regain control\, and work back to your feet if necessary. Throughout the camp\, every segment will be connected so that you understand how each piece fits into the bigger picture of controlling\, neutralizing\, and finishing an opponent in a real-world scenario. By the end of the event\, you will have trained through the full cycle\, from first engagement to fight conclusion \n\n  \nAs we get closer to this event\, we will post registration and pricing links here

SUMMARY:Open Protection Response Tactics Course
DESCRIPTION:The next open Protection Response Tactics course will take place this May in Martinsburg\, West Virginia\, as part of the Executive Protection Institute’s seven-day program. This is the only opportunity for the public to access the full program in its entirety.\nYou can contact us directly with any questions or if you need assistance securing your course spot.\n\nLearn More About PRT Here:\nhttps://sifualanbaker.com/protection-response-tactics/\n\nLearn About the PRT Instructor Certification Here:\nhttps://prtinstructor.com\n\n\nIn today’s high-stakes world\, the unique needs of protection agents are often overlooked in traditional martial arts and defensive tactics programs. 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.

SUMMARY:2026 Civilian Tactical Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:2026 Civilian Tactical Annual Conference\nThis Is Our Annual Open To The Public C-Tac® Conference\nDECEMBER 3-6\, 2026\nWe have received a tremendous number of requests from the public to train in this program. This annual conference is your chance to experience the multi-faceted self-defense system designed by Sifu Alan Baker. Over four days\, we will cover key elements of the Combat Blueprint and provide hands-on\, structured training. This event also functions as an instructor training camp\, so you can expect high-level leadership from the program on the mat throughout the conference.\nThis is a four-day event. The conference runs 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM each day\, with additional evening sessions on select topics.\n👇 Register HERE 👇 \nhttps://buy.stripe.com/9B600j3nldWd6AadVz7EQ0T\n  \n \n\n   \nTHE 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\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.
