Consider Your Motives
 
Recently we were contacted by an individual in need of personal protection. After speaking with this person and asking a long list of questions for qualification purposes, it was determined that there were some inconsistent patterns in what this person was telling us.
After careful consideration of information that was obtained, the person did not meet the criteria for any Agent of Southard Combat System to provide personal protection.
The lack of honesty was this persons reason for disqualification and was unfortunate.
The list of reasons one might need protection are as long as from the east to west and we believe that all people should feel comfortable and safe wherever they may be.
 
As Personal Protection Agents, your safety is our primary concern.  To maintain the integrity of your safety to the best of our ability, requires a strong degree of honesty.
We understand that most people have things in their lives that they would rather not discuss and that is ok, however we will not risk our lives and our families lives to any person involved in illegal activities or some one who is looking to have a good time with another woman/man while their spouses and families wait at home. An angry or jealous husband/wife is one of the most dangerous situations anyone can experience. If this is your Modus Operandi, your on your own!
We will not get involved with anyone living outside of the law, so please do not call us if you are involved in anything illegal or shady. We will not tolerate it!
For those of you that think that you might be able to slip one by us, think again. We have a wide range of resources for information available to us. Please be honest to us and we will protect you well!
 

If you have any questions about Personal Protection, Bodyguard, Anti-rape or subject control training, please contact Grandmaster Tony Southard at the link below to book a Training Seminar. You will not regret it!

Thousands of years ago, the style of the empty hand was developed as an alternative to weapons.
Only the highest authorities such as Emperors, Kings and their soldiers were allowed to possess weapons of any kind.
Many styles of the empty hand have developed over the years and there are countless ways of delivering a crippling blow to an assailant.
In todays society there are many alternatives to hand to hand combat. Starting with traditional weapons such as firearms of all types, many people today possess concealed carry permits, or just open carry in different parts of the world.
Some people do not feel comfortable with guns and so they opt to carry less than lethal products such as pepper spray, tasers, or keychain style kubotans.
In some cases these products are proven to show a value of defense to a degree……….
 
What about the times when an assailant rushes you head on or takes you by surprise and you don’t have time to pull out that taser or that pepper spray or your (ever so trusting firearm). What now?
Your assailant has taken your money, your life, he has raped you and taken from you every sense of self worth and security that you held so dearly, or now you are a hostage in a situation that you don’t know if you are going to live or die!
Just for a moment, I want you to think about what it would be like if God forbid you were in any one of these situations…..
 
What about those of you who have worked tirelessly for years and spent thousands of hours practicing Katas and Forms so that you may receive your next belt on testing day. Do you feel equipped to handle a knife or a gun pointed at you by someone who has gone off the deep end? Sure hope so because when that time comes, that black belt or that brown belt that you esteem so highly is going to let you know if what you’ve really learned is sufficient for what ever comes.
 
Grandmaster Southard has spent his life testing these so called proven tactics taught by many. Many of which are a result of an over inflated ego or someone who watches too many John Woo movies. Many of these things work in the movies or in a rehearsed setting, but will get you killed if you even think about applying them on the street.
 
There is only one way to test the waters here, that is to empty your cup and jump in. We who have trained with Grandmaster Southard know firsthand what it means to be Properly Trained! Give yourself the opportunity to equip yourself with these proven techniques and walk with confidence. Don’t wonder if your training is adequate, know it is!

What We Stand For

As students of Grandmaster Tony Southard, we are continually learning new techniques that equip us to handle any situation that may arise in conflict. We are NOT the good ol’ boys club nor do we wish to keep Southard Combat Systems a secret. The development of S.C.C has been years in the making and in no way should be treated as a private club.

It is Grandmasters wishes that all people large and small are being taught to defend themselves properly. Ego maniacs may turn around and head the other way this is not for you……..

As the same goes with health and  personal hygiene, we strongly believe that personal protection and preparation is as important in our everyday lives.

Many times throughout the week I hear people say things like, self defense isn’t something I’ll ever need, I live my life in peace, I treat people good, or I just dont have time. Although these statements are valid and often true, the other people who are mentally defective or just plain thugs could care less about how it is you live. The are after your money, your body, your life or just plain want to hurt you for their own sick reasons.

As a society we have become complacent and lost our sensitivity to the horrific things going on around us every day. And as we ignore these things, innocent people are still dying, getting badly hurt(because of improper training or no training at all) and suffering for the rest of their lives because of what someone did to them or someone they love. We often feel a moment of shock and horror when these thing happen, and then we go on with our day as though nothing happened. We find this extremley disturbing and unacceptable!

As students and instructors of Southard Combat Systems, we take our responsibilities very seriously! When we host a seminar in our area we should have one thing in mind.

That is to further the hard work that Grandmaster Southard  has spent many years of his life perfecting. This is his life’s  work treat it as such!

This is not a buisness or profit making orginization. Although it costs money to operate. Let not ANY student of Grandmasters work be swayed by the temptation of the mighty dollar and let that become his/her primary focus.

Lets not forget who the Grandmaster is…………………………

Thank You Grandmaster for your excellence and extremely high standards in the arts! There is no Finer Teacher alive…………..

The tactical pen is specially designed for close quarter self-defense and combat situations. While assuming the appearance of an average writing tool, it becomes your assailants worst nightmare.

Grandmaster Southard teaches easy to understand yet brutally effective ways of using your tacical pen by application to pressure points and soft-tissue areas of the body. Believe me when I say these techniques are life saving and will gain strict compliance from your attacker.

Consider Tactical Pen as part of your training. Ladies , this includes you! As assualts on women continue to rise, this training is very important. Husbands, even as this would make great gift for that special Lady, training must go with it.  Enroll her today! Tactical pens will be available for purchase at the seminar.

One MUST be careful when taking on new tactics when it comes to disarming weapons of any kind. When improperly trained, some of these techniques will do nothing more than give you a false sense of security and get you killed.

Grand Master Southard has spent years studying a variety of techniques and found many flaws in them.

Developing a system that requires minimal effort and teaches one to be calm when these situations arise, through consistent training one can develop the skills necessary that if given that (split second opportunity) to react at the right time, one may turn the situation around and live another day.

Knowing when the right time to act will be the difference between life and death.

These techniques are not extracted from the movies and in NO Way must they be exercised without proper training.

Consider personally taking this course on Friday, January 9th, 2009 from Grandmaster Tony Southard. Register today!

Many of you may ask “Is Southard Combat System for Me?”, and you should. When considering your options, ask yourselves these questions.

Do I work in a place that has the potential for violence at Anytime?

• Law enforcement
• Correctional facilities
• Security
• Retail stores
• Night clubs
• Bars
• Public or Private schools
• Convenience stores
• Gas Stations
• Daycare, etc.

And last but not Least, The average ordinary everyday human being, during his/her day to day routine, are as likely to become victomized by modern day thugs or someone lacking regard for human life.

We have the RIGHT to walk our streets everyday and feel a sense of security and be prepared for any situation that may arise, God forbid…

As humans, we have the ability to continually learn new things and better ourselves as individuals and over come adversities as they arise.

Southard Combat System will NOT tolerate ANY form of immature, aggressive behavior toward another person. We teach Reality Based Self Defense only!!

With today’s crime on the rise, and assault becoming a part of our society more every day, every ounce of training we can add to our toolbox of knowledge will better equip us to deal with these adversities when they arise.

As with anything, the more you practice something, the more proficient you become in that area.

Grand Master Southards’ style of teaching is a very complex yet easy to understand form of self defense.

Southard Combat system is a reality based self defense that teaches us practical application in real life situations.

Confidence builds as you go along, making the Art that he teaches a part of your everyday life.

It is Grand Master Southards wish for all to be equipped with life saving knowledge that if, God Forbid, you find yourself in that situation that you never thought could be you, your chances of survival are significantly increased.

Ladies, for those of you that may think ‘I’m not strong enough’, think again. Grand Master Southards rape-prevention techniques are taught in a way that are easy to understand and are very damaging to your assailants. Coordination develops as you repeat technique….

We look forward to seeing you all at the January 2009 Seminar!!!!
