I want to tell you that your customer service department is phenomenal. Tracy C. and the rest of the customer service department, including fulfillment, tracked down my order when I sent it to the wrong place (fulfillment). They found the order and got it processed, keeping me informed all the way in the process. I also want to compliment Captain Chris in the way that he does his video presentations. He shows the real life situation happening at regular speed. Then he breaks down each move in slow motion so that even a novice like me can follow what he is doing. After breaking down each move, he puts them all back together again so that you can see how each separate movement is integrated into the whole. He is a very effective teacher. Also the quality of the videos are good so that sight and sound are easy to see and hear. I am inspired by the fact that Chris was at one time a real physical mess, according to his story, as I am 59 with a lot of orthopedic problems. It inspires me that I can dramatically improve my physical condition, and learn how to protect myself and my family at the same time.

To Whom It May Concern,
Though I've trained in the past back in 2007, I was assaulted from behind and was struck with a baton which caused traumatic facial & bodily damage which needed to be surgically repaired ! Since I've been double guessing my lack of attention that night & What I could've,& should've done ! I consider myself as passive due to the fact I'm a cardiac patient on coumadin, along with the injuries occurred by the assault ! At 51 with a family my wife Amanda ,and 4 yr old son are involved in Martial Arts ! Due to my heart condition which I've lived with since age 7 due to insurance reasons and I'm sure true exceptable paranoia I was considered high risk in order to be trained in the Martial Arts myself! Always disappointed by being turned away even By The Marine's I did well and passed the written exam, yet was turned away due failing their physical requirements ! LOL!! I Begged and pleaded my case back in 1978 I'll take a desk job, anything to continue my families military tradition ! To Make A Very Long Story Short ! I Truly Appreciate Your Videos & Will Be A Responsible Viewer ! Thank You again ! Richard (Last name removed to protect privacy)

I recently purchased several videos from CloseCombat Training, and had to contact customer service concerning a DVD package damaged in the mail. I contacted them on a Saturday, and I was very surprised and pleased that they got back to me the same day (on a weekend, no less) and resolved the issue to my complete satisfaction. Based on this experience, I would highly recommend CloseCombat Training to others. Their customer service is excellent.

Due to some confusion on an email-offered discount, I was overcharged for my order of Close Combat Training. I brought the matter to the attention of the company's customer support and they fixed things IMMEDIATELY.
The customer support staff was very courteous and the Close Combat Company acted reputably, honorably, and quickly resolved the problem.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to view some DVDs from the Close Combat Training series, and was very impressed. I decided to order a training package of my own, and placed the order through the website at about 10:00 p.m. on a Sunday night. Immediately I received a confirmation of my order, but somehow it was for a different package than I had ordered, so I sent an email to Close Combat. This morning when I checked my email, there was already a response confirming that the situation had been corrected, and everything was as intended. Thanks, Close Combat, and especially Tracy, for EXCELLENT customer service, which is so hard to find these days. I was excited about the product, now I'm excited about the people behind the product as well. Well done!!!

I am 73 years old. I watched the first five DVDs and now I have the basic knowlege on how to defend myself. You will(at least I will)have to watch the DVDs a few times so it will become automatic on what I have to do to protect myself instead of having to think first on what to do. By then it may be too late.
All the staff are very helpful and give you a rapid responce if you have any questions.

just a thankyou note to say how entertaining it is to watch/listen to my wife and daughter going through the paces with your 15 minute hell dvd...they both are challenging each other to improve their fitness and relationship as they participate in the activities and its not until you watch someone not used to the regime of activities that one realizes how easy you make it look as youre doing it ..thankyou for making this programme available..one thing on shipping long distance maybe put a bit of bubble wrap in the case between the discs to stop them popping off their buttons then slopping around in the cases which scratches the discs..again thankyou for making these dvds available to improve our lives and wellbeing..

I'm not sure what's more shocking. The fact that the military took this out of training long ago or that Chris doesn't charge $1,000 for the basic DVD set. It's worth that much in my book!

You REALLY know what customer satisfaction is. Your prompt responses, your efficiency in processing my request and your courtesy in handling the communication with me needs to be recognized.
PLEASE forward this message to your supervisor and if he or she wants to call me and confirm my e-mail,they may give me a call.
Thank you again. It's a pleasure doing business with your company. I'm looking forward to receive your product. Keep the good work.

I had to make and emergency cancelation on a accidental double order that I made on one of the CD's. I emailed to cancel it, but doubted they would get it on time. Fortunately, they got it and returned the email the next morning, even though it was a Sunday. They have great and reliable customer service and I recommend this site to any and all people out there looking for some self-defense skills.

I am truly thankful for 4 DVD's from close combat. I've watched the first 2 twice, as I am aware of the need to master the basics before biting the bear. I am a card carrying member of the NRA, the USCCA, and a concealed weapons permit for the last 12 years. I'm not paranoid, I simply refuse to be a victim. I truly fear no man. However, for the most part, deadly force isn't appropriate, and your common sense methods and fluid moves are comfortable, natural, and well orchestrated. All I demand is that the attacker stops, and that will happen. Thanks again for the best universal program available to mankind.

Dear Close Combat Company/Captain Chris,
Thank you so much for all you have done to provide simple and effective ways for ordinary folks to defend themselves. I have throughly enjoyed the core CCT and 15 Minutes of Hell. Escape Combatives will be my third purchase from you. I trust your company enough to spend my money on these important investments - and that means something since I am a poor college student! However, when I first heard of your company, I had a very different reaction.
When I stumbled upon your website via faceook it immediately looked like a scam. The lengthy explanations, vague references to the Captain's accomplishments, promises that seemed to be too good to be true, etc. Why am I telling you this? I just wanted to let you know that I was initially turned off and, judging from a lot of the scam blogs on the internet, so were a lot of other people. Maybe you could revise some things to not have this effect.
Why did I eventually come to believe enough of what was claimed to heavily invest in your company when I have little to no money to spare? It was seeing the Captain on the news program teaching women self defense. It seemed to be the only "credible" source on the entire website not based on vague claims or off "inside" opinion; the news program was verifiable, outside information that showed the effectiveness of Captain Chris. I continued my research and stumbled across the history of William Fairbairn. When I saw who the "super-teacher-who-unleashed-the-plague-of-death-on-the-Nazis" really was, and some of the basics he taught, I became much more convinced that Captain Chris was responsibly teaching a legitimate and effective method of self defense. When I was first on your website I read about this "super-teacher" but no "linkable" historical sources were named. I don't think it was until receiving the generous offer for the Escape Combatives that I actually saw a DIRECT reference to Faribairn by name in one of your advertising sections. It was then that I actually became more fully convinced that the Captain was the real deal.
I wanted to bring this to your attention because your company teaches information that is SO important for responsible people to be endowed with, and it is my opinion that some of your marketing effectively turns the most responsible people away - unless they are willing to take a deeper look into the claims the Captain makes.
I hope this strikes no offense with you - I mean none!
Also, thank you all so much for the generous offers you have given and the resulting opportunities for people like me. I am very blessed to have what I do!
Sincerely,
John (Last name removed to protect privacy)

Hi Chris,
A few things:
First, in your core Close Combat Training course, you included the Combat Library on your www.closecombatinsider.com address link instead of sending the CD as in the original package I purchased a few years ago ( I bought a second package for my daughter). In the current library, there is a book titled "Shanghai Municipal Police - Manual of Self-Defense." The book was published in 1915. The photos in the book show two men, one oriental and the other occidental (I assume British), demonstrating various techniques. My question is this: Is the British gentleman William H. Fairbairn? The man looks like he is in his late-20's, early-30's and W.H. Fairbairn would have been around 30 years old in 1915. If it is Fairbairn, that would be really interesting since most photographs of him were taken during WWII when he was a much older man. Somebody ought to make a movie about that man; he was such an awesome historical figure. Tom Clancy mentioned him in one of his non-fiction books,"Shadow Warriors."
Secondly, in your 6-30-11 Summer Update video email, you talked about coming out with a video offer in September called "Smash, Sticks & Stabs - Impact and Bladed Weapons for Combat Use." September has passed and there has been no mention of it, to me at least. Did you email anything out about it? If you do, I'd like to see what it is about.
Finally, I've checked out other "self-defense" videos and web sites and some of them are pretty cool with useful techniques, but you are the only one so far that talks about fear. You describe what fear is (fear is a number, 175+ heartbeats/min.), how to deal with it, and what you can and cannot do in a fearful state of mind. If ever I get into a situation where I have to use force to protect myself or a family member, that tidbit of information will prove to be a real life-saver.
I look forward to your response about W.H. Fairbairn and your Smash, Sticks and Stabs video.
Thanks,

My experience with the training recieved from Close Combat Company represents the best value for time and money invested, that I have ever received.
I have always had a natural ability to detect dangerous situations. My training has helped me develop "counter measures" for dealing with situations which could not be avoided. While I have not found it necessary to physically deal with someone, I do firmly believe that the way I now carry and present myself has made the difference.
One other side benefit: More people now seek me out for help, on any number of different subjects, than at any other time in my life.
My sincere thanks to Captain Chris and his dedicated associates.

The close combat material contains good content and has be valuabe for me. Its given me, as a male who is in shape physically, a real confidence in the ability to take care of myself and the people i care about and also others just when its the right thing to do. Im now aware how dangourous i can be if anyone wants to mess with me. I would recomend these materials to everyone who is aware that dangars are out there and wants some tools to take back some control.

To whomsoever ref: Captain Chris's Close Combat Training, Accelerated Battlefield Combatives.
I've really enjoyed the teaching and training aspects of Captain Chris. His instructional courses,both DVD and training manuals were exceptionally written and put together. His attitude towards the student were very Professional as well as down to earth and easy to learn from. His video series on each segment of the training was a huge plus. Explanations of every move made simple and complete. I would recommend his training to others in a heart beat. My confidence factor ref: self defense has been positively affected. One last word I received ( in the past ) from a very special co-worker friend of mine at the Sheriff's Department, always face fear with knowledge! Thanks Captain Chris, Blessings to you and yours!

I have used the CloseCombatTraining(CCT) and its associated training material and found it to be of both mental and physical use. It gave me greater confidence in dealing with aggressive situations in my work- I work for an ambulance service and deal with aggression on a regular basis- and protecting myself and cooleagues in these situations. The ABC and by the numbers systems are excellent. Simple and effective no wonder it was taught in WW2 when time was limited!
Looking forward to the final series of DVDs.

I don't want to deal in BS here! Just to let you know I'm 70years old and I have two glass knees. However, I've bought two of your dvd's and love them. It's kind of easy to walk through the exercises but, God only knows what would happen in a real situation! I really wanted to get my hands on the Guerrilla Grappling as I think this is something I could get into, even at my age! Anyway, Your going to be missed! You are a great human being and God bless you in all that you do. P.S. If you have any the G.G.'s left and should you put them on sell let me know.

I left the Army 30 years ago at 6'2" 195lbs. Recently during a family get together and several pictures later I was shocked at how far I had fallen from the lean mean fighting machine to a 275lb couch potato.
I started looking for two things, get back in shape and retrain in self defense considering the deterioation in the world. Since starting the training with the Close Combat material I must admit I have not felt this good in too many years. I still have a long road ahead but with the steady improvement I see nothing but daylight ahead. Thank you for the hard work and help you supply.

I have been training in martial arts and self defence since I was 11 years old. Fought point karate, full contact, muay thai, judo and early versions of UFC style competitions. Have worked as a bouncer and in a war zone. The information sold by Close Combat Company is easy to learn, follows natural body movement and can save your life if you work at it. I recommend this for everyone who is serious about protecting themselves or their families, regardless of previous training.

After purchasing Close Combat from Capt Chris, I have been able to improve defensive techniques already learned from being in military and now as law enforcement. I would have loved to been able to purchase the other DVD's but even with Capt Chris' low cost I could not afford them because of recent purchase of a house and associated costs. But with that aside I still enjoy using the Close Combat system to refresh and relearn techniques that can save my life as well as others.
Thanks Capt. Chris for your time and effort in the DVD's

I am a former Marine officer and have had a share of hand-to-hand training - although no actual use thereof, thank God.
Although I am a Texan and sometimes find it hard to understand some New Yorkers, I find the DVDs easy to understand and easy to study.
I have done "shadow boxing" ("shadow defending") using the Captain's techniques. If I ever have an occasion to use them in a real situation, I feel confident that they will serve me well.
After buying and training with the 4-DVD set, I ordered another set as a gift for my girl friend. I wish I could afford the advanced DVDs, if there are such a thing.

I have very much enjoyed these training vidios. I started with the close cobat training and while it is hard to practice that stuff on your own it was shown shown in such a simple and easy to understand manner that by just takeing note of how I stand or position myself or even of my surroundings I am more confident of dealing with unexpected. I followed that up with the 15 minutes of hell wich is still 20 minutes of hell for me but being do-able I am still at it and feeling great. The other vidios are more a flight of fancy for me as I can't see me ever really needing those skills but in saying that, having watched them and had the odd dry run, my confidence to cope in a crisis has been boosted.

I din't have chance yet to utilize in a real life situation the knowledge and experience I got from the video-training DVDs I receive from Close Combat. The great benefit for me is that I can go back to the DVDs and refresh it content often. As an over-the-road long distance driver I don't have the luxury to go to a martial arts school since I've to spend must of my time in the truck. It's here here where the great convenience of Close Combat plays in my favor. What I like the most is the not need of uniforms and the simplicity of using not sophisticated moves in attack/defense. It help me also in the development of my own fighting style "MVP (Master of Virtual Protection)" that now I teach to others. Thank you Captain Chris for been of a great inspiration for me.

Hi Cpt Chris, Tim here I've followed you for years and would be honored to comment on the close combat company. I'm real big on self defense and martial arts. Your training vids have been a big addition to the training I already have. Me and some of the guys from work go at it from Time to time and they wonder how I am able to easily break out of their choke holds etc & take them down. Not to mention most of them are twice me size. Also I'm one of the "go to the gym"kind of guys, so I was a little skeptical about the 15 mins hell workout. However all I have to say is "hard body". Within a week I lost about ten Ibs and was more tight & ripped than I had ever been from working out in the gym. No problems with shipping & handling & the price for the products very affordable. I was shocked that it wasn't more for the life saving info you are receiving. Over all I'm a very satisfied customer and to sum it all up with one word "phenomenal". Thanks again for everything & God bless you & the family.

I have been using Captain Chris's 15 Minute Hell workout video for about a year now as my sole consistent workout routine and have benefited appreciably from it. The production values of the dvd are low (the nutrition segment even cuts off before the end - but after most of the very good information has been given - on my disc), but the routine is well presented. Chris has a segment reviewing how to do each exercise, a segment walking you through the routine in a step-by-step manner, and a segment showing him going through the whole routine in 15 minutes.
This is a surprisingly complete workout, and I look and feel much better as a result of it! I started pretty out of shape, so it still takes me a bit more than 15 minutes to get through, but I think almost everyone could complete the workout within 20-25 minutes. As your conditioning improves, your time to complete will fall from there (and working out as fast as you can is part of what makes the program most effective). Again, this is not a glitzy exercise program disc, but it works great, no equipment is required, and you need little to nothing besides this program to stay in very good shape!
I would recommend this exercise routine to anyone. It is particularly good for the time-pressed, but even if you have more time, I think this would make a great a core for your exercise program (just add other activities that you want to do as time permits). If you are currently out of shape, this program is also very good. Chris shows you how to do what you can, and you will definitely be able to do more over time if you follow his guidance.

Of all the choices available online today i chose Captain Chris/Close Combat. I was aprehensive as i`m sure most people are, let`s be honest the internet is crammed with similar DVD sets claiming to be the best.
I found the DVD`s to be very informative, accurate and best of all exciting! When funds allow i will continue to purchase from Captain Chris with 100% confidence knowing that i`ll be getting credible, potentially Life Saving information.
I`ve recently taken up MMA, Boxing to improve on my fitness and confidence. I`m 46 years old and i have to say i`ve surprised some of my younger, more experienced colleagues with some of the moves i learned solely from Captain Chris/Close Combat, " thank you Captain Chris!"
I`m from the UK/England, the process from payment to delivery has always gone without delay, testimony to the team involved in sales etc.
Buy with confidence, hey, there`s even a no quibble money back guarantee!

The first time I saw Close Combat Training I knew I had to have it. I have been interested in martial arts most of my life but never had the time or money to devote to training. Captain Chris has opened this door to me. CCT is the best self-defense program out there. It is straight and to the point. It is practical and effective. A no nonsense, "take down your enemy", approach. I believe so deeply in CCT that I hope to be an effective instructor of this program in the near future. Captain Chris has helped me to release my fears and become confident in myself and abilities. Thank you Captain Chris, you helped change my life!

I have had nothing but a great experience ever since I discovered the Close Combat Company. Their customer service is top notch and they were always pleasant to deal with. I always get my products quickly and efficiently. Most of all, the information in their CDs are useful, practical, thoughtful, informative, and well worth the money I paid for them. Captain Chris is a great instructor, teacher, trainer, he's crazy hilarious, and enjoyable to watch.

I would like to thank Close Combat Company for the brilliant dvd's and supplements. I have learned a lot, and gave me self-confidence. i did not need to go to any martial arts classes, just needed a punching bag, a partner and Captain Chris Dvd's. The supplements were awesome and felt a big difference within myself. The supplementes helped me to recover quicker from weight training, felt stronger and more confident. Customer service was very good too.
Many thanks to you Captain!

I have appreciated the material that I have recieved from Close Combat. It is good value for the money. I have also found them to be good to deal with and honest. I have not finished going through all my material, but I expect that my benefits will increase as I do.

I have close combat training program, I found the staff to be as helpfull, and friendly as can be. Ihave trained in the combat program and am very pleased. My son who trains in KRAV MAGA ,and much biger than myself often train and spare togather, there has never been a time that he has ever defeated me, in fact though he is good , our sparing does not even last very long, I use the finger dart or tiger claw and press strong with open hand or elbow,s ending with chin jab and it is over. I also practice getting free from hold,s, your program all the way around is perfect, If at all possable please keep CLOSE COMBAT COMPANY GOING. your the best.

I first discovered Close Combat Training about two years ago. Captain Chris does a fantastic job of breaking down every move from start to finish in his DVD series.
I especially appreciate how he integrates the teachings of the British Special Air Service, Major Fairbairn, and Judo just to name a few.
Thank you Captain Chris.

The DVD videos that I purchased from the Close Combat Company are outstanding and very well presented. The knowledge learned from the videos that I purchased is invaluable to me -- in other words, it was far worth more than what I actually paid for it -- in fact it was so good, that I purchased the DVD videos as a gift for a friend. The benefits that I've received from the Close Combat videos is confidence, mental discipline, and confirmation of the belief that I have held for decades and that belief is that one should NOT be a predator, malicious, or a muckraker, but be poised and ready to stand their ground against anyone who invades it unjustly. The Close Combat Company provided everything to me that they promised & more.
Thanks very much Captain Chris, for looking out for us "little guys on the street" that have great need for your training.

I have bought and used many of your products and videos. They are all 10 out of 10 thumbs up. I am almost 70 years of age, weight 155 lbs. Body type ectomorph. I am a physician, retired now last 3 years. Over these many years I have tried many a "workout", stay in shape programs. None have worked for me as well as your "15 minutes of Hell". I work out with your program 5 days, sometime 6 days a week. Great for stretching and strengthening, especially for my age bracket. I believed in your videos, workouts, and nutritional program because of all you have been through personally in your life with cancer, unable to defend your wife and family in recovering weakened state. Then the "rest of story" how you have come back to health, developed workout and nutritional supplements(many, many other companies in the the nutritional marketplace), and then taught others what you have learned over the years about self defense. Now we have Captain Chris techniques through videos to help others who desire to know what you have taught one-on-one to many others.
Presently I find the most help from the CC-SE and the CC-750. The 750 have help me (eliminated) some deltoid insertion pain right shoulder. Nothing else has eliminated this pain over the past 5 or 6 yrs. No one else or other therapy has accomplished what 750 has done.
Your customer service have been great--prompt and efficient--even when I goofed up with the shipping address. Kudos to all of them, too.
Please do have your staff locate my e-mail to you about the airline passenger incident I sent you several weeks ago. Just demonstrated how each American flying public needs to be able to take action and Fear No Man!
Best in your new endeavors.

I run through the moves every morning mentally and in a shadow boxing mode straight after my daily morning excercises. I do it to a count of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. (Finger dart, whip kick, edge of hand, edge of hand, chin jab). Therefore I'm ever-ready in case the need arises. My only actual experience was on a tram in my home city of melbourne australia, when a young angry aggresive male boarded the tram cursing and swearing and intimidating everyone. Every body else was busy trying to pretend nothing was happening, but I held his gaze unblinkingly. He became uncomfortable with me, stopped his behavior and shortly after alighted. Strangely I was welcoming the potential opportunity to put into practice what I'd learned. A woman near me noticed this and thanked me after the idiot had alighted. I have to say: "it felt scarey but good"!
I'm sure I could'nt've done this without the discipline of my mental preparation.

It might sound simple, but just speaking the phrase "Fear no man" is a feeling of confidence. I haven't needed to defend myself or my family yet, but just using the training videos to practice my potential moves against aggressors helps me feel less helpless in that situation. My goal is to make my moves so second nature that it will just flow. Thanks Chris. I appreciate your letters of encouragement and guidance to be prepared.

Close Combat Training delivers on its promise. The moves are easy to learn, can be executed during moments of challenge and fear, and inspire confidence that attackers will be dispatched swiftly and effectively. The first DVD in the initial set of four is alone worth the cover price. Then follow four additional DVDs to take the student further. Captain Chris keeps his word!

What I like about the 15 Minute Hell workout are that the exercises work the body as a whole. I like feeling every muscle in my body from head to toe as I do them. My body definitely feels more "pulled together," and I feel the difference when I walk.

I Have purchased several of the Capt. Chris close combat dvds which include the abc,law dog,15min hell,scientific self defense,bullets bats and blades,and guerrilla grappling.I have enjoyed and benefittedgreatley from these dvds.I use the 15min hell dvd almost every day and then view one of the other training dvds while cooling down from the workout.I usually start with the abc dvd and eventually work my way through scientific self defense, bullets bats and blades,law dog,and then sometimes the guerrilla grappling.this is a whole library of the very best self defense training that is available on the market today and i would recommend it for anyone interested in protecting self and family in these unpredictable times,m.r.

Close Combat Training is an excellent set of DVD's. Captain Chris is very thorough in his approach to teaching and it is easy to follow. I heartily recommend it to anyone wanting to add to their knowledge of self-defense.

I have a degree in Kinesiology, and have found Captain Chris's 15 Minute Hell an excellent addition to my workout mix. In addition, Captain Chris's concepts of gross versus fine motor movement under conditions of extreme stress are completely valid as used for the physiological logic underlying the Close Combat system.

As a Marine currently serving in the Army National Guard, I find the Close Combat system instructed by Captain Chris to be a very useful tool in one's arsenal if ever confronted with the need to implement it. Fortunately I have not yet needed to, but I firmly believe the simplicity and effectiveness of the movements and strikes as taught by Captain Chris will prove detrimental to one's survival when necessary. I greatly appreciate all Captain Chris has done for the US Military through his service and continued support. Semper Fi

I purchased Capt Chris' Close Combat Training course a little over a year ago. After viewing the first time, I was able to see the value of learning his techniques and I review the course every couple of months to practice and keep up the skills he taught me. Heaven forbid that I will ever need them, but thanks to Chris, I have the skills if I need them.

GREAT COMPANY TO DO BUSINESS WITH. I FEEL I'VE GOTTEN MORE THAN MY MONEY'S WORTH FROM ALL I'VE WATCHED.
(Humorous comment) Since I don't watch them right away after they arrive perhaps an option could be to pay a little more and have someone come with the DVDs and hold a gun to my head to watch them right away since I'm always glad once I get around to watching them.

Wanted to say, if you would like to learn to defend yourself, family, country, etc... this "system", for lack of a better word, is THE BASE to either start from or stand on. Any martial arts training will blend right into it, and it would be a serious advantage to have learned this first. There's know way I can prove, or convince anyone with words (text), So the best I can do at the moment is just to say, this training is not a joke, not a "back page comic book" attempt to take your $$$, this is not for someone who won't commit to try, and learn! But if you would like to learn an excellent, foundational self defence method, this is it. If you want to just pose in your mirror, it will even help ya there too! (poser). It's worth the time and cost ! MZ

The Close Combat Company has excellent instructional products for those interested in the subject of personal protection. Their in depth knowledge far surpasses anything within the public realm. They provide real world solutions to real world problems which unfortunately occur every day. Having worked overseas for 10 years in "lawless countries", this personal protection instruction is now mandatory for my employees to stave off such threats as standard muggings, kidnappings, bar brawls and the more nefarious situations unsuspecting expats eventually will find themselves in. Having survived both forceful muggings and a kidnapping, I completely understand and respect the importance of these instructions. This is not what they teach you in grade school - or anywhere else for that matter. Until you have personally lived though some of these nightmares, you will not appreciated the protection that the Close Combat Company provides you with. In the real world, no one can help you in your dire situation except yourself. Best Regards & Deepest Thanks, Robert

I have been with Capt. Chris and Close Combat since he was know as Lt. X, almost from the time the company started. I've used the techinques I learned from the videos and news letters to get myself out of more than a few tight spots across the country and in foriegn countries. I've ordered more than a few copies of different programs and given them as gifts to family and friends and taught quite a few people how to use the training to defend their families.
Thanks Cap'n.

My expereince with Close Combat Training is most assuredly a good one. While it has been some time since I have taken the DVD Course- Close Combat Training, a refresher is in order. My son and I completed it last year and we have changed the we stand and to talk to people :) I, personally, really enjoyed the DVD's, they were easy to follow, direct, and did not waste time with long drawn out explainations (thank you). Oh yes, the handbook. The handbook that accompanies the course is a wonderful asset to further understanding and visualization of the processes discussed.
Thanks Capt. Chris
I fear no man

I have bought and watched several of CCC's videos. All have good info, much of it new to me and therefore I have needed to watch several times. Chris could use some help from a good videographer. The quality of the videos suffers from amateurish video and audio production. This is good info, but it needs some help!

Hi Tough Guy,
I 'm still practising your movements /methods of self defense and enjoying the workout.
I don't go to a lot of bars any more where you might run into some body trying to show how tough they are. However, you never know when a confrontation might come up, whether on the street, a highway or building. I'm more confident I can handle the situation now.By the way, I'll be 82 in Nov.

I have 50% use of my lungs, and I am 66 years old. The main thing that I have learned from your techniques is that EVEN I CAN DEFEND MYSELF, along with my .38 S&W for backup, my black sock filled with D cell batteries, my Tazer included. Usually, I do not need those, but I carry them for back-up!

I really enjoyed the training video's. The only problem is that Capt. Chris repeats himself a lot. I train people to be body guards (PPO's) in Texas. I am a Texas Licensed Instructor. I have included the Capt. Chris's Close Combat Training in my training. I also train people to be security officers both armed and unarmed in Texas. I have special training for them as well as the general public. I highly endorce the training.

I never had to use the skills taught. Thank God for that. I have most of the videos offered and found the teaching simple to remember and execute. I think the greatest lesson to learn is to stay out of trouble, prevention, know you surroundings, flee evil. However I am confident that I have the tools necessary should trouble seek me out. Thanks Chris for your valuable series.

Chris - We teach self-defense courses in the San Diego area (www.ICanDefend.com). Have many of your DVDs and the content is fantastic. Few, if any, of our students have time or money for long-term martial arts training. So, in each course we Chris-tise them with a few simple CCT techniques that they very much appreciate. We especially emphasize with our pistol students that within a few feet of a predator they need an alternate defense - other than firearm. Thanks for your excellent work.

Best tapes I have ever purchased, great information very useful. I have been involved in Martial Arts since the 1970s and this is some of the most insightful street techniques I have been exposed to. Thanks for your efforts!
