Martial School Combative Concepts. A rough translation of Martial School is Fighting School Or warrior school. Combative Concepts rough translation is Fighting ideas, fighting methods.
Martial School Combative Concepts was the first Full Contact School is the Greenville area. Its founder Sensei C.A. Deurwarder is the founder of this hybrid system of mixed arts. Rooted in Okinawa Te bare Knuckle Karate, Thai boxing, American boxing, Tae Kwon Do, and a few other arts that contains joint manipulations such as Hap ki Do. This system was and is for fighting. At the time of Martial Schools opening in Mauldin SC no school in this area practiced leg kicks, knees, elbows etc. No school in this area fought without padding on the hands or feet (they are still padded up like Michelin men to this day) and fought full contact. Now with the UFC and the popularity of full contact combat or MMA training we have come full circle. Now hitting with effectiveness is widely accepted and learning new styles is also widely accepted when in the past it was frowned upon. The old saying of "what you don't know won't hurt you" is TOTALLY false! The more you know the better off you will be and so Combative Concepts is a HYBRID system that mixes the most effective techniques for combat in its true sense. Let me be clear we are discussing combat NOT POINT SPARRING! Training to defend yourself against an unskilled assailant who has no clue what you are about to do and training for a hardened opponent that is trained to fight and take your best shot and still keep coming is a totally different ball of wax. We train for highly skilled opponents not would be muggers however we are well equipped for low level and unskilled opponents such as muggers. Your ability to be effective is based on your ability to take a good HIT and still function. Everyone is a bad man when he is fresh and untouched. We seek to bring the reality of combat .. fear, anxiety, apprehension, stress, pain etc etc when all these elements are present and you can still function then you can be successful. Controlling all of these emotions in a high stress and dangerous situation can only be achieved if you train on a level where all of the above mentioned elements are present. The difference is simple training for FUN and training to FIGHT! Our training is geared to FIGHT! With all of that keep in mind as a beginner you will not be fighting on your first day.
