Suffolk Street Defence focuses exclusively on Reality Based Self Defense. RBSD refer to a system of self defense that focus exclusively on reality based self defense scenarios and conditions. Hence the words “reality based.” Unlike mixed martial arts and traditional martial arts styles like karate, reality based self defense is not a hobby or sport and it does not participate in tournaments of sport combat competitions. It’s all about learning how to avoid conflict – and fight to win if need be.
What is RBSD?
Reality-based self-defence (RBSD) is a system that teaches techniques and tactics for protecting one’s self in everyday life without adhering to any particular system or tradition. The training is based on instinctive responses, gross motor movements, conflict scenarios and most importantly pressure testing.
We address the three stages of any conflict:
- Pre-Conflict Stage
- Conflict Stage
- Post-Conflict Stage
