The Hand to Hand Combat Training Center [H2HCTC] of Post Falls Idaho is committed to training people to protect themselves, their families and loved ones and their communities.

Classes in effective, no-nonsense Martial Arts are taught to Men, Women and Children with an emphasis on “Self-offense”. This simply means the H2HCTC teaches the concept of “Attack the Attacker”.

Master Instructor Michael M. Foley and his eldest daughter, Melanie L. Warner, have put together a detailed, concise 3 disc set lesson plan on their “Level 01” Hand to Hand Combat Training.

Michael M. Foley is a 30 year veteran of the U.S. Army, 25 years of that in Special Operations. He has taught U.S. Military members Hand to Hand Combat since 1977. He was also asked to teach members of the German Special Ops Community, members of the U.N. Peace Keeping activity in Kosovo, Rwanda, and Macedonia, a team from Italy and a special group of Korean Soldiers to name a few.

In 2007 he returned from 3 years in Iraq where he taught many classes to the best military in the world; The U.S. Military. Master Instructor Foley is still actively teaching America’s fighting soldiers by training the National Guard and Army Reserve personnel at his headquarters in Northern Idaho.

Instructor Melanie L. Warner has been learning Martial Arts from her father her entire life. She started teaching when she was only 10 years old and has only improved with time. She is a Martial Arts Competition Champion and an outstanding technician of the art. Look for her new [3] disc set on “Level 01 for Women” coming out this summer.

This DVD set is the first in a series of instructional DVD’s unique in that it takes you step-by-step through the basic techniques of the “self-offense” approach to protection. The first disc will guide you through the steps to master basic blocks, hand strikes and leg strikes needed to practice the next [2] disc’s content. Discs [2] and [3] take you through several combinations of techniques designed to nullify attacks of various degrees of ferocity.

Master Instructor Foley first teaches the combination in the Army training format of “Crawl, Walk, Run”. This format dictates that the student should move slowly at first with great concentration, learning every nuance of the combination. Then the student should step up to the “Walk” phase by moving faster and stronger. After numerous repetitions of the combination at this speed, you should begin to approach the final, or “Run” phase of training. This is the “Combat Speed” phase! Instructor Warner steps in to show you how to practice the technique with a partner.

This is a crucial step in mastering the combination movements of this outstanding instructional DVD. Work with a training partner that is close to your own size, height and weight to optimize your success. Continued repetition of all the combinations with a partner will prepare you a confrontation. Master Instructor Foley demonstrates the “Combat Speed” application of each combination movement.

Follow each step closely and continue practicing diligently for several months then you may test via video recording. If you pass, you will receive a signed certificate for “Level 01” in Hand to Hand Combat Training. Then you will be eligible for the “Level 02” series.

One of the outstanding features of the Hand to Hand Combat Training instructional series are the supplemental DVD’s you can order that will add to the basic knowledge and skill you will acquire. Video’s like; Supplemental Level 01, Elbows, Knees, Weapons Defense and Target Practice to list a few DVD’s soon to be released.

If you could only invest in one home study course in self defense, THIS ONE IS FOR YOU. Order it, move the furniture, get a partner, play it on your TV and GO FOR IT!
