Full Circle Martial Arts Academy is one of the few schools in the metro area that has a complete self-defense program that effectively addresses today's violent attackers. Street Combat Self-defense is ideal for both men and women of all ages. It's a simple, yet highly effective system that can be easily learned in a relatively short period of time. From the onset you will learn lifesaving skills that would normally take you years to learn in a traditional art.

The innovator, Master Samuel Scott, has refined this system for over 20 years, training and extracting realistic techniques from some of the best combat arts instructors in the country. As a former veteran of the Prince George's Department of Corrections and a member of the Emergency Response Team, Master Scott knows firsthand how the predator thinks and acts. He says, "Understanding the psyche of an attacker is just as important as knowing how to physically deal with him. If you understand what motivates him, his strengths and weaknesses and what he looks for in his victims, you will have developed your first line of defense - awareness and avoidance!"

Street Combat has been tried and tested.  Master Scott believes that "in order to prepare yourself for combat, you must place yourself in the storm". (a realistic training environment). Kicking and punching in the mirror or on bags has its purpose, but it does not prepare you for realistic confrontations.

Psychological/mental conditioning - a critical component to street survival – is the key ingredient missing in most martial arts systems, i.e., the dynamics of awareness, adrenal stress response training, element of surprise, killer instinct, controlling the fear factor, etc. On the physical side, you’ll learn defense against punches, kicks and chokeholds; chokehold escapes, finger-touch takedowns, multiple attacks, use of makeshift weapons, weapon disarms, and more.

The Street Combat system has been utilized by police officers, correctional officers, executive protection specialist, professionals, and the average lay person. In today's violent society, you can't afford not to invest in a self-defense program that could one day save you or your loved one's life. Remember, not knowing how to defend yourself is like not having car insurance!

It’s not if you’ll need it, but when you’ll need it!
