Instructor Doug Day of West Virginia found !
Hey guys,
I flew into West Virginia on Wednesday, the 10th of March 2010 to make arrangements for my move to West Virginia.
When I got there, I got information on Combatives Instructor Doug Day, he is teaching classes at a place called PJ’s Fitness Center , which is in a city named Cross Lanes, he teaches on Thursday nights.
I went there on Thursday to meet him, he permitted me to take a free class to see what I thought.
I was blown away at how effective the system is, the system is called
Jun Shin Do, which is a Korean Military Combative Self-defense system, Instructor Day trained in the system while stationed along the D.M.Z in South Korea in the 80’s.
The techniques were simple, direct and lethal, this is not like any martial art I have ever seen, there is no fancy wasted movements or mystical nonsense, just down and dirty Self-defense.
I studied Brazilian Jujitsu for 5 years and Shotokan Karate for 3 years, I wish I would have been able to study Jun Shin Do instead, I feel like I wasted my time in those arts, I was shown by Instructor Day that sport
oriented Martial Arts are not effective in real combat engagements.
One example he demonstrated was he told me to put him one of my Brazilian Jujitsu guard moves, which I did, I had him in my guard, had him held tight to my body, the next thing I felt was a pincer grip on my windpipe and a thumb in my eye socket and a knee to my groin.
My hold was neutralized to say the least, it hurt like hell, I did not expect this defense, because I was so used to “Sportsman” like conduct in competition where these type of techniques are illegal. I had him locked up pretty good, so I thought, he slipped out like a snake, I felt kinda embarrassed.
Instructor Day seems like a nice guy, very laid back and informal in his teaching style, but his abilities in Combative fighting are down right scary, he does not shy away from telling you, or showing you just how easy it is to kill someone with Hand to Hand combat, regardless of who the person is.
I am not easily impressed, and I was skeptical as usual, but I have to admit I was sold, great experience.
Take care my fellow Martial Artists
