"It is not the critic who counts;
Not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled
or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
Who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes up short again and again,
because there is no effort without error and shortcomings.
Who does actually try to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm,
the great devotion and spends himself in a worthy cause;
Who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly.
Far better it is to dare mighty things,
to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure;
than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much
because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat."

THEODORE ROOSEVELT

"AT WHAT LEVEL OF IMPERFECTION WILL YOU SETTLE?"

Brandon Lee

"Excellence is an art won by training and habituation.
We do not act rightly because we have virtue or
excellence, but we rather have those because we have
acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit."

Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC)

PHASE 3 - ANNUAL 2-DAY BOOT CAMP

Day in and day out hundreds of thousands of people train in the martial arts, some for hobby, some to compete, some to lose weight, others to learn and indulge in a new philosophy or culture perhaps. Then there are those who train for self-defense, or at least... a certain 'level' of self-defense.

Self-defense for what though? The average drunk in the street? The potential bar fight on a Saturday night cause you looked at some guy's girl? The mugger at the ATM machine who wants your wallet? The insecure and egotistical male who's got something to prove?

How about EDI's (Emotionally Disturbed Individuals)? How about the Psychopath and Sociopath? How about the likes of Charles Manson, Richard Ramirez, Charles Ng or Ted Bundy?

From left to right, Manson, Ramirez, Ng, Bundy.

The reality of it is that unfortunately... violence exists. Extreme violence.

IN TODAY'S STREETS, YOU HAVE TO BE BETTER THAN THE AVERAGE "BAD GUY", STRONGER, SMARTER, FASTER, BETTER CONDITIONED, AND 3 STEPS AHEAD OF THEM STRATEGICALLY AND TACTICALLY. PREPARATION IS THE KEY. A WARRIOR HAS NO USE FOR APATHY AND DENIAL.

Think about this the next time you slack off in a work out, are too lazy to train, look at the clock during your workout, or roll your eyes when your instructor says "We're working on knife defense again tonight."

If you can't complete an intense workout, what makes you think you can survive a knife fight?

The 2-Day Annual Boot Camp training regimen is designed, advanced training for the tactical athlete.

So, instead of the Cayman Islands next summer, take a weekend off and come to Montreal.

Our Bootcamp weekend is a 2-Day Extreme Conditions weekend held only once a year and reserved for those who have a minimum of 6 months combative training under their belts.
