Combat Flow – Defensive Dozen – Advanced Defensive Tactics Institute

Advanced Defensive Tactics (ADT) has created a number of practical tools to quickly learn and use during confrontational situations; one of the most effective tools is what we call the Defensive Dozen – a group of points or areas that create a major disruption to an attacker’s body from an anatomic and or energetic perspective. The series covers 12 different areas focused on a combination of various strikes on key or vital points and pressure points through 10 videos. They can be used either as standalone or as a set up for additional actions / strikes and of course increased effectiveness and pain. All these methods are short and effective and build a set of methods you can use when needed.

A "Defensive Dozen" learners guide handbook is available with this program. This includes an overview of general principles as well as transcriptions of all program videos, both in the learners guide and individually within each lesson.
