Stay Informed With Our Articles

I have written a few articles for help others understand the importance of the physical and mental training and conditioning I feel a person needs to achieve to be successful in their training.

I believe the type of training we need for self defense needs to be reality-based, life or death, and combat derived training. This is what I teach along with all my instructor family at Suarez International.

I just wish I could write as good as I can shoot :-)

Enjoy!

My friend has one and said this is what they carry all the time but I think I need something bigger to control it better", or "This gun kicks worse that I thought it would! It's only a .380 and I didn't think they…

Conditioned Response Sep 10, 2015 »

Have you ever wondered why we train in and with weapons, tactics and combatives? The reason is to learn the best techniques for our application and how to train and develop the muscle memory, those instinctive values, so we ingrain into our muscles and minds the Conditioned Response! What makes or allows us to respond/react to a given stimulus? If a car slams on the brakes at a distance of 500 feet ahead of you and you are travelling at 60 MPH, how do you react? If you see this as it happens,…
