D.G.C.F.S. Gross Motor Skill Set

D.G.C.F.S. Syllabus is an ever-evolving growing adapting combative science. What makes D.G.C.F.S. so different from T.M.A., M.M.A. is that we look at combat not as sport or self perfection “but perfection in combat” although we do not exclude self perfection it is just a by product just as a black belt is,

WE are a R.B.M.A. training center a BLACK BELT for us is a by product. Teaching you to SURIVIE is the GOAL. D.G.C.F.S. starts from the very essences of FEAR & PRIDE, Why? Fear & Pride is your enemy.

1) Fear that adrenaline dump that gets you when you are scared or startled. You know that FLINCH, That gross motor movements that the human body naturally reverts to in a panic induced state. That heart pounding reaction to what is happening or about to happen.

2) Pride is a high or inordinate opinion of one's own dignity, importance, merit, or superiority, whether as cherished in the mind or as displayed in bearing, conduct, etc. I have trained with Martial Arts Instructors, Masters, and Combat Instructors that some times fall in to that category. IF you think you know it all or IF you do not want to see the TRUTH, PRIDE before the fall.

Those 2 things Ladies and Gentleman can stop you from growing as a person and a Martial Artiest and Combat Instructor.

D.G.C.F.S. starts your training with simple gross motor techniques, but what are Gross motor skills - well simply they are large-muscle groups like squads, hams, biceps and triceps ect. In fact, they are enhanced by the affects of fear and stress. There fore it makes total sense to rely on gross motor skills when a self- defense response is needed and can be applied under stressful circumstances. The 1st level in the Gross Motor Skill set 

we teach at D.G.C.F.S. is the FLINCH Drills, These flinch drills work from our PASS AGGRESSIVE stance. It counters punching and tackles and teaches how to handle the ADRENALINE DUMP.

Our hands start in the surrender position palms facing out and fingers up. To the untrained eye it looks like you give and you do not want a problem. This is also good for eyewitnesses to help IF you go to court “That is anther article” In this position you are giving the assailant visual cues that you are not aggressive, but the whole time you are ready to open a can of whoop ass “
which is not resalable” Since your hands are up you can protect against any punches that are coming at you or IF they try to tackle you.

In the passive aggressive stance not only are you able to protect yourself but attack at the same time. This way you can engage your opponent as he or she attacks you. You can Eye gouge, punch, elbow ect..ect..

This is basic level 1 in the gross motor skill set. Failure to Flinch meaning you some what freeze or miss your attack line. Then you will go to PRIMAL: 

They are 3 levels in Primal that I teach, COVER/PROTECT and COUNTER STRIKE and then ESCAPE. This covers from the stand up position to ground combatives It trains the students' minds as well as bodies to the idea of being "attacked" and works towards minimizing the ill effects of the body under a real life, stress induced attack or physical altercation just like the FLINCH DRILLS. In level 1 of Primal you are put through a combative situation where you are

only allowed to cover and protect yourself. Up against a wall
and open area. Standing up and on your back somewhat pined. The Idea is to protect yourself while punches are being thrown at you. Level 2 you try to counter strike when an opening is available, I.E. “punch, elbows, knees or kicks”, again you on the wall then open area and on your back. Level 3 we add anther person for a total of 2 people attacking you plus having to go through levels 1 & 2 and trying to escape. At level 3 we also introduce elbow destruction. From there we now go to A.R.C. Action Reaction Continuum. A.R.C. has 3 levels it teaches the student how to Engage, Control, Take down, and Terminate the attack. This is also done with several scenarios.

This is just a small portion of what we teach in the GROSS MOTOR skill set. I did not go into great detail as it would take up a lot of pages. D.G.C.F.S. is an evolutionary system and as such we will never be behind the learning curve. We strive to make sure that D.G.C.F.S. is on the cutting edge of training and equipment so that we can deliver the best up to date techniques, training and facility.

This is just the basic level in D.G.C.F.S. the way D.G.C.F.S. breaks it down looks like this.

1) Gross Motor skill set “3 level”

2) Intermediate motor skills “3 levels”

3) Advance motor skill sets “3 levels”

This is also done in the 5 ranges of combat, PROJE
CTILE, KICKING, BOXING, TRAPPING, And GRAPPLING”

Weapons are also added in level 3. Weapons are “most common” in today’s society

1) body

2) Knife

3) Stick

4) Gun

or a variation of those weapons.

I hope this small bit of information on what we teach helps you understand who we are and what we do.
