My focus is tactics and game strategy\, built on mechanics\, timing\, and positional science. You’ll learn how to solve problems\, not just memorize moves\, so your jiu-jitsu holds up when the other person is strong\, fast\, and not cooperating. \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\, not hope\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\nWater\nNotebook (optional)\nA readiness to train and learn\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. \nReserve Your Spot\nCost and registration are handled directly through Ooltewah Jiu-Jitsu Academy. To reserve your place\, contact the academy. \nQuestions: ooltewahjja@gmail.com \nCan beginners attend?\nYes. The material will be taught in a way that beginners can apply immediately\, while still giving depth to experienced students. \nCan people from other schools attend?\nYes. Visitors are welcome. \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.

SUMMARY:C-Tac WEAPONIZED GRAPPLING CAMP Doylestown PA
DESCRIPTION:Two Days of C-Tac® Ground Fighting Training\nFebruary 21–22\, 2026 Combat Fitness Martial Arts – Doylestown\, PA\n \nJoin us for an immersive two-day training experience focused on the core divisions of the C-Tac® Weaponized Ground Fighting Program\, a approach that blends practical grappling\, combative control\, and weapons integration. Integrating 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. \nMore Info on C-Tac® HERE \n  \nYou’ll train in 5 essential ground divisions \n🔸 EDC Grappling \nWhen weapons enter the grappling space\, everything changes. Learn how to adjust your mechanics and tactics to operate effectively in environments involving knives\, guns\, and improvised weapons. 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. \n🔸 Anti-Grappling \nAnti- 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. \n🔸 Ground Fighting \nStreet surfaces\, multiple opponents\, and sudden weapon threats demand a different kind of ground game. Train for realism\, not rules — with an emphasis on awareness\, striking\, and escape under pressure. 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. \n🔸 Dog Boxing \nMaster the art of fighting from compromised or “out-of-position” situations — where things aren’t pretty\, but survival is still possible. 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. \n🔸 Grounded Weapons Fighting \nThis 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. Control range\, angle\, and timing even when you’re down. Learn how to apply standing tactical concepts to ground environments while dealing with weapon threats. Whether you’re a martial artist\, tactical professional\, or someone serious about self-defense\, this camp will elevate your skills and mindset to a new level of readiness. \n🔸 Training Times \nSaturday/Sunday times\n• 9:30am – 12:30pm\n• 12:30pm – 1:00pm Break\n• 1:00pm – 4:00pm\n• Total hours = 12 \n🔸 Cost  \nCost\n• $300 for both days (until 12/20)\n• $325 (12/21 – 2/7)\n• $350 (2/8 – 2/21)\n• $160 for one day (until 12/20)\n• $175 for one day (12/21 – 2/7)\n• $185 for one day (2/8 – 2/21) \n📍 Location: \nCombat Fitness Martial Arts Doylestown\, PA \n📅 Dates: February 21–22\, 2026 \n🔗 www.combatfitnessmartialarts.com \n📞 (215) 821-8659 \n
