MORE QUESTIONS
Question #1: How do you teach private lessons?
With each client, I make a big effort to find out what their end goal is for the lesson. Then, I help them obtain it!

For example, some clients want to experience the euphoria of learning something new and challenging. So, I evaluate their current skill level and give them some things to challenge their minds and movement patterns. Other clients want to experience the adrenaline rush of sparring with me. So, I spar with them at their level, just below their level and just above their level. This way, they get to experience struggle, exhaustion, and success. Other clients have very specific requests for their lessons (e.g. Police officers, pilots, martial art instructors, real estate agents, Seals, business and vacation travelers, women, college students, flight attendants, BJJ practitioners in their 50’s and 60’s, the physically challenged, etc.). I ask them to tell me where their difficulties are and then help solve them.

Long story short, I continue to teach weekly private and semi-private lessons in client’s homes and at their places of business and worship throughout San Diego, Orange, Los Angeles, and Riverside Counties. I keep getting invited back for more lessons, so I guess that’s a good sign.

Question #2: What topics do you teach at seminars?

Having taught 700+ seminars since 1987, I have been asked to teach a variety of topics. Here is a small glimpse:

• Brazilian Jiu Jitsu: “The Pareto Principle” (i.e. the most important 20% of Jiu Jitsu to know, train and develop that will give the student 80% of their results).

• Jeet Kune Do: “How to See and Intercept an Opponent’s Attack” (i.e. context, how to see and identify the precursors, fastest tools for intercepting, etc.).

• Filipino Kali: “Low Line Warfare” (i.e. a myriad of low line kicks that travel from as low as the toes to as high as the groin).

• Kalis Ilustrisimo: “How to Train with Simplicity and Efficiency” (i.e. 3-4 simple defenses mixed with 3-4 highly efficient offenses).

• Self-Defense: “Raising Your Level of Awareness” (I taught students how to read walking patterns, gestures, circumstances, eye movement patterns, and specific behavior patterns so they could leave before violence presented itself).

• Arrest and Control Training: “Perform Your Job More Efficiently and Look Better On Camera” (i.e. I taught officers the subtleties of the F.I. stance as well as the other four imperatives for making physical contact with subjects. From there, I taught them how to train – because technique-oriented training is very limiting and rarely gives officers a skill).

• Military Combatives: “How to Train Realistically While Minimizing Injuries” (i.e. a mix of theory, technique, tactics, and 10+ methods of sparring).

• Brazilian Jiu Jitsu: “The One Thing Training for Finishing Straight Arm Locks” (i.e. the most important element to learn and train for finishing armlocks from the top positions).

Question #3: Why should I consider training with and learning from you?

If your focus in martial art training (e.g. Jeet Kune Do, Filipino Kali, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Kalis Ilustrisimo, Savate, Grappling, Pananjakman, etc.) is on developing useful skills in a short period of time, then I am your guy!

If your focus in arrest and control training is on developing useful skills in a short period of time – skills that will help you do your job more efficiently, make sure you go home safely at E.O.S and help you look good on camera – then I am your guy.

If your focus in self-defense training (e.g. mothers, pilots, business travelers, realtors, nurses, etc.)  is on being able to spot trouble and leave before it starts, or on ways to terminate an encounter quickly and efficiently, then I am your guy!

I have the knowledge, training, understanding, wisdom and the experience to help you reach your stated goals!

“Mr. Harris, I have NEVER heard concepts explained the way you do. They were so simple and illuminating. It was like a light bulb went off in my head and I finally understood how things were supposed to work. You’ve changed my game, my way of looking at BJJ training, and most of all, how I teach defensive tactics. Your teachings are ABSOLUTELY a game-changer!
