interview Sir.

E-mag : So why the name "Dark Gift Combat" the names sounds like ..an occult

Mr.Traylor : LOL no thats not what we are or what we represent.DARK stands for the dark side of humane nature, the mean side of humanity,thugs, rapist, killers, ect. They could careless about you or your family.As far as GIFT COMBAT it signifies, That we are giving you the GIFT to COMBATthe DARK SIDE of humanity. Thus the name Dark Gift Combat, Yes it also has anegative overtone as well. Which is DOWN to business for our Military and specialoperation teams. Its like the YING & YANG, Light & Darkness.

"Top 5" Approaches to Reduce the Risk of Cardiovascular DiseaseThanks to Vxa I nternational for this information.

Research conducted in 52 countries reveals several controllable risk factors attribute

to 90% of all heart attacks. Previously, it was believed only half of the heart attackswere caused by factors such as smoking and cholesterol. Today, most heart attackscan be pinpointed to one or more of the risk factors mentioned below. These factorsare neither gender specific nor related to a particular ethnic group.I. Maintain a Healthy LifestyleSmoking changes the viscosity of blood. This can potentially lead to clumping in theblood vessels that supply the heart. The National Library of Medicine published astudy stating that smoking inhibits vitamin and mineral uptake. It also depletes levelsof vitamin C, and creates a toxic internal environment. An imbalance of essentialvitamins and minerals may exacerbate the harmful effects of smoke components oncancer and coronary heart disease. Giving up smoking can help avoid cancer andlower the risk of heart disease. Vitamin C is a highly effective antioxidant; it protectsmolecules in the body from damage caused by smoking and free radicals generated

through normal metabolism. Coming in April: Vxa's New Healthy SmokingProgram!II. Watch Cholesterol IntakeIt is important to not only control your cholesterol, but to decrease fat intake whenfaced with the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack, stroke, and otherdisorders caused by atherosclerosis (fatty deposits of plaque in the artery walls). Adiet high in "bad" saturated fats (butter, cheese, red meat, fast foods) increases yourblood cholesterol. The body has its own daily quota for cholesterol production. Toomuch cholesterol may cause fat to build up in the arterial walls and cause diseasesthat slow or stop the flow of blood. Vxa's homeopathic medicinal, Cholesten-LDLhelps to lower cholesterol naturally, as well as, regain proper cholesterolmanagement.III. Control High Blood PressureA famous study, known as the Framingham Heart Study, found that half of all peoplewho suffer a first-time heart attack and two-thirds of first-time stroke victims, hadmoderate to high blood pressure. If left untreated, high blood pressure can increasethe risk of atherosclerosis, aneurysms, loss of vision, and kidney failure. Normalblood pressure is considered to be 120/80. Experts have advocated eating less saltas a way of controlling blood pressure. In addition, mineral-rich foods and herbs likeHawthorn and Chinese Cat's Claw, folic acid, and branched chain amino acids areknown to naturally help control blood pressure. Vxa's Homeopathic Medicinal,

Circulin contains the ingredients mentioned above and other targeted specific nutrients to help maintain your bloodpressure.IV. Reduce Unnecessary StressStress causes chemical changes in the body and if left unchecked, it can have a negative impact on both physical andmental health. Studies show nearly 80% of all health related problems are attributed to stress. A study at the Ohio StateUniversity found that stress slows the body's metabolism of triglycerides (fat linked to cardiovascular system disorders).

The slower metabolism allows fat to linger in the blood advancing the development of atherosclerosis. Try Vxa'sHomeopathic Medicinal, Extress to help calm and focus attention, safely relax muscles, and replenish essential nutrientsused by the body during times of stress.V. Diet and ExerciseResearch conducted around the world showed waist circumferences of > 34 inches in men and > 32 inches in womenincreases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Salim Yusuf, MD, who conducted the study says, "It is a measure ofabdominal fat, which is most closely associated with heart attacks." Walking is not only relaxing but a great, low-impactway to lose weight. For extra help curbing your appetite, try Vxa's Homeopathic Medicinal B-T Plus. It restores yourbody's own ability to control weight, thus allowing weight to be lost the way nature intended it.In Closing: Avoid Becoming a Statistic "About 950,000 Americans die of cardiovascular disease each year, whichamounts to one death every 33 seconds."- National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion

Bigger? Stronger? No Problem!

Bigger? Stronger? No Problem!Part 4Over the last 3 articles I have gone over each part of the above saying

individually and with some good effectiveness, now I want to show one lasttechnique that encompasses all of them together for that maximum devastation. Thefull, Cant see cant fight, cant breathe cant fight, and cant walk or move cantfight.

1) Ms. Haley is caught off guard by an attacker and slammed against the

wall. 2) Ms. Haley grabs the attackers face putting her thumbs in his

eyes and drives his head backward. 3) She knees to the groin driving him backward and taking ground. 4)

Ms. Haley then pulls the attackers hair to expose the neck and throat and drives and elbow into the target. 5)

She dumps him on the ground and backs away toward the knee. 6) She stomps the knee and leaves the

scene. Hopefully you can see all the variables in each scene and how they all can come together for an

efficient way to taking out someone bigger and stronger than you. Remember to leave the scene; if you

havent left the scene you havent done it all correctly.

These were just real quick examples of how to use your head rather than brute force by using vital targets

and the proper tools for those areas. Never underestimate your opponent, but dont overestimate them either

Remember to train smart and be safe, and that YOURE WORTH FIGHTING FOR!I want to thank Ms. Haley Whelan and Mr. Anthony Macky, both are my Trainee Instructors, for their time and

help.Haley is on my young adult instructor track where she learns to demo, teach the young children, and

helps me in class and is doing an amazing job.Anthony is on the instructor track where he learns a bit more

and is being taught how to help teach both the adults and young childrens class. He too is doing great.

Continue from page1The Interview with Mr.Traylor

E-mag:What is Dark Gift Combat Fighting System?

Mr.Traylor : D.G.C.F.S.is anaccumulation of 35+ years in the Martial Arts, They are 4 Systems with some sub systemswe use, the main ones areProgressive Fighting SystemsScientific Fighting Congress International

Philippine Combat SystemApache Knife FightingI use these systems and I have put them together so that they flow in a real life altercation. D.G.C.F.S. is designed to enda fight in seconds NOT minuets or rounds. D.G.C. is Combative in nature. Its purpose and design was for youThe practitioner to survive a life threaten altercation We train you for the urban concrete jungle. Not for the dojoor for point sparing or cage match. D.G.C.F.S. covers all 4 ranges of combat, which areKICKING RANGE, BOXING RANGE,TRAPPING RANGE,GRAPPLING RANGE. We also cover the 4 Modern weaponsof combat, Which are HUMAN WEAPON, EDGE WEAPON, BLUNT FORCE WEAPON, FIREARM WEAPON

E-mag:So will it work for women?

Mr.Traylor : YES!!! In fact IF my wife cant apply it, I will usually not show that technique. 99% of what D.G.C.F.S. isdesigned for is small males and women, I am a small guy 58 180lbs So for me to drop a 69 290lbs guy I better knowwhat areas to hit and it does not depend on how strong I am. D.G.C.F.S. is very unique in that. Thats why we have folksfrom all walks of life and L.E.O. and Military personal seeking our school and training.

E-mag:How long does it take the typical student for the techniques you teach to become functional for self defense?

Mr.Traylor : Well it depends on the individual but for the most part the very 1st

class, we work everything in a scenariosbases and gross motor skill set. 2 hours class helps us to get that across. Working it under duress also heightens thestudents skills, What they will most likely encounter on the street NOT the DOJO.

E-mag:Are you training people to be killers?

Mr.Traylor : Thats a stupid question NO I AM NOT TRAINING PEOPLE TO BE KILLERS. Geez.. Look,.. people needa way to protect them self and their family, Some buy guns, some buy burglar bars, I just so happen to be able to teachthem how to defend themselves with their hands or knife or a gun or any weapon of opportunity. Now for the military &

L.E. that a different answer.

E-mag:What if a thug decides to come to you to learn a better way to fight? Will you train anybody?

Mr.Traylor : No we do not allow just anybody, The last thing We need is a PUNK THIEF or MUGGER to come in and gettrained on how to counter self defense techniques. D.G.C. has a application that you must fill out in order to be apart ofour class and that was at the recommendation of Special Agent Garza of Home Land security and L.E.O. that we train.

E-mag:If someone wants to learn how to defend themselves, wouldn't a traditional martial art be good enough?

Mr.Traylor : Yes of course it could be, The problems is not that T.M.A. would not work, we use a lot of techniques fromT.M.A. its their training method. Their focus is not on resistance training or for that matter reality based scenarios, We usemodern days weapons, weapons that you will encounter in todays society, we training force on force so you will see that

what we are showing you works, we have an elevator room for close quarter combat both empty hand and with weapons.We use airsoft guns for weapons disarming marker knifes to show you where you got cut, shock knife for pain so yourespect the blade, We training in the 4 ranges of combat KICKING, BOXING, TRAPING, GRAPPLING. We training to useweapons in all those ranges, We use an indoor Tactical Airsoft field for your gun training, How to clear your own home,how to handle a gun, how to retain your weapon, we show weapons of opportunity, improvised weapons. I could keepgoing but I think you see how unique our school is.

E-mag:Ok, so you've distinguished your school as different from traditional martial arts schools. How common is thematerial that you're teaching?

Mr.Traylor : Not to common at all, D.G.C.F.S. is among only a handful in the country, It is starting to take off, when weopened in 2004 we were the only school in Houston and only 5 in the country openly claiming reality based. So now itsstarting to be common place.

E-mag:Your classes sound very intense. Do police departments or the military come to you for training?

Mr.Traylor : yes we had the 4005th

military unite, we trained over 250+ military personal, hundreds of L.E.O. fromH.P.D., sugar land, Missouri P.D., H.C.C. ect.. we also in talks with Critical Security Services International about trainingall their Body guards and security personal.

E-mag:Are there other schools doing the same thing?

Mr.Traylor : Of course, we are not the only ones NOW. You #%# and # ,and so on.

E-mag: Have they hurt your business any?

Mr.Traylor : Not that I am aware of But who knows, I really do not worry about those guys. I have enough to do as it is.

E-mag: Sir may I ask some personal question?

Mr.Traylor : yes you may BUT I may not answer them.

E-mag: Fair enough, Ok I did some research on the internet, I put in keywords and some school came up, I notice thatthey basically coped your meta tags and even some of your verbiage, Although your website is clearly the mostdominating website in the key word search basically the entire front page and page 2 How does that make you feel?

Mr.Traylor : Thats old news Sir, All I can say is that maybe they cant think of the words to say, so they copy and paste,Its not against the law, so why get all upset, I mean I did at first but then I looked and I now know why they did.We are ITHINK the BEST school in HOUSTON that teaches REALITY BASED, We are SO FAR ahead of the CURVE that I feelthats why folks copy & pate our verbiage and meta tags and our logo. To me that is humbling that folks would think thatwhat I write is worth putting on their site. As you said we are the REALITY BASED SCHOOL to beat. We offer thing theycant, we are the PREMIER R.B.M.A. & COMBATIVES SCHOOL.We are Bless that Mrs. Traylor and I have Aaron Shbeeb, Sami Shbeeb, Nino Castandiello, Saxon Hatchett on ourteaching staff I dont think any other school has this level of instructors. We are also EXTREMELY HUMBLED by theirwillingness to be trained by me. Each of these GENTELMEN are experts in their own system of study. We pull from theknowledge to make D.G.C.F.S. what it is. D.G.C.F.S. is on top cause of our students and Instructors. We truly care for thestudents NOT the money they represent.

E-mag: Wow ok so are these instructor that claim R.B.M.A. are they qualified?

Mr.Traylor : Dont know, Dont careall I am willing to say some are PAPER HOUNDS, PAPER DRAGONS. On paperthey LOOK LIKE WOW!!! OH MY GOD but when you go to take a class will you see the difference. I think Mr. RobMarks article Master of the Universe, describes it very will. I LOVE THAT ARTICLE!!!!!

E-mag: What is next for you

Mr.Traylor : Me personally? Continue to train and get better at hand to hand combat and to become a better Instructor.To be able to articulate the material to my students.

E-mag: What about your business?

Mr.Traylor : Uuuh try to survive this BAD economy, Its is starting to affect our school so its a lil nerve racking to say theleast. My wife got laid off from Schlumberger early this year and I see that trend in my students as well. In fact I had aschool call me asking to rent out our facility cause their dojo closed, If I had the time slot I would let them. I know of 3schools that closed and I see more coming. Folks are scared and worried, I for one do not blame them.

E-mag: You just expanded, and you add Tactical Airsoft training to your school, The only one in Houston, Correct? Alsoyou are NOW the biggest school in Houston to teach Reality Based also correct. Who else in Houston has what youhave? Does that not help?

Mr.Traylor : Yes we are and yes it does but just wait a month or so and other school will offer what we offer its just theway business is, but economy the way it is folks are second guessing about spending money. Heck even the city is cuttingback, They want to use our shoot house but they have to wait a few month for their fiscal year to end before they doanything.

E-mag: So what does the future look like for you & your family and D.G.C.F.S.?

Mr.Traylor : With GODS help, its so bright I have to wear shades!!! LOL ;)

E-mag: Mr.Traylor I have known you for over 28 years we where High School friends you trained me in martial arts backin the day I have seen you do some crazy things growing up. You backed me up in some fights and took up for my brother

and I when we where will lets just say we not doing right I can only say to you THANK YOU. You have done a lot for meand my brother, you coming back to Houston is like a breath of fresh air.

I am a master black belt to the 1,000th

power with lineage back to the cavemen and Ihave mastered all the fighting secrets of the universe.Basically I am one bad ass dude and if you dont believe me, well I have a certificatethat says this to be the case.

But, does that certificate or belt ranking really mean anything? Cant I just kick yourass without it? Or does that certificate or belt give me the power to do so?

A certificate, belt ranking, etc. means very little if you cannot apply what you know inreal time in a real world scenario. I'll take actually being able to fight over someonecertifying me as a fighter any day.We have all heard stories about a master black belt trying to utilize the death touchgetting his ass handed to him by Joe Thug. Who has no training, belt, orcertification?

Joe Thug does not worry about technique or trying to look good as he beats your assand he most certainly does not need someone to give him a piece of paper sayinghe can kick your ass. He just does it.I also have a similar feeling when it comes to who you have or havent trained with.You can say that you have trained with so and so, but how does that really help youin a real world encounter?

Unless that instructor with his attributes and skill set is standing next to you when asituation arises, it really means very little who that person is or what they can do.

Not saying that you can't benefit from there knowledge or apply there teachings.Most definitely a good instructor can open up a world of possibilities. But, unless youare capable of applying what you have learned from them, then who you train with orwho your instructor is... really is meaningless.

"Do I want to die?"Israeli Firearms Methodologies Can Help American Cops Survive Shootings this is aquestion that more police officers are asking themselves in the United States. TheFBI reports that 57 police officers died in the line of duty in 2007. Two officers diedby their own gun and sixteen were violently ambushed. The offender profile was a30-year-old male (only male offenders) 5' 10" and 175 pounds with a prior criminalrecord. One half of the shootings occurred in the Southern Part of the U.S. In the lasten years over half of the shootings occurred at 0-5 feet and another third at 6-10feet. Offenders injured 15,704 cops in 2006. Are you ready for the violence that iscoming your way? Israelis know crime, violence and death. Their police and militaryhave fought terrorists on a daily basis since 1948 and they are confronted with

firearms more than their U.S. counterparts. I have learned the evolution of all Israelimartial arts and combatitives, HaganaH, from its founder Mike Lee Kanaerek. Mr.Kanaerek is a former Israeli IDF Special Forces commando, Black Belt Hall of Famemember and trainer to most of the elite units of the military, federal law enforcementand tactical teams from across the country. I am a certified instructor in IsraeliCombat Shooting (ICS), F.I.G.H.T. hand-to-hand tactics, Ground Survival and IsraeliTactical Knife Fighting. I am a first generation instructor and have learned everythingfrom Mr. Kanaerek personally.I was certified to teach traditional methods to lawenforcement and military prior to being indoctrinated to the Israeli way of fighting butI now teach ICS because it works. It is a totally different approach for officers torespond to deadly encounters and it is completely adaptable for civilian self-defenseuse.ICS has a familiar foundation of muscle memory, instinct and reliability that iseasy to teach to new recruits and veteran officers. ICS saves time and allows theshooter not to even look at gun sights because; in fact over half of all shootingshappen at less than six feet. No sights are required when you can almost touch theoffender."The first person to deliver incapacitating shots is the one who winsthe gunfight."Firearms instructors often refer to "point shooting" and I think thatthere is a big misconception to its meaning. Israeli point shooting means simply tohave the shooter point his finger at the intended target as it is strait across the frameof the gun. That's it. You hit what you point at and you have been pointing to getwhat you want since you were a baby. It is ingrained into your subconscious memoryand your instinct can't be re-programmed. There are differences in the Israeli systemwhen compared to U.S. law enforcement or military training. Israelis don't carry theirgun with a round in the chamber because an officer's gun can be taken in a fight andused against him. Perpetrators don't usually know much about guns and will simplypull the trigger if the weapon is stolen in a fight. Nothing happens and this time canbe the difference between life and death in a violent encounter. Israelis are good

with their hands and receive training on how to get the gun back. Israelis deploy rounds only to the head. No body shots.Training instills confidence in shooters and reliability under stress.ICS training is rooted in stress. Instructors build thetraining in stages of dry practice by the numbers, self-initiated dry practice, shooting drills with one round, three roundsand finally stress drills that involve pushing and hitting the shooter while he deploys rounds to the target. It is certainlyunconventional by U.S. standards but I have witnessed it working again and again with new recruits that have noexperience. Shooters need to be desensitized to stress, pain and violence in their training. This can only happen throughstress, pain and violence in training. We have all heard the saying "you fight like you train." It is our duty as instructors tobring this level of training to our officers for their survival. ICS is a fluid movement that involves drawing the handgun whilethe shooter is moving into his stance, chambering a round while the gun is pushed out, grasped and fired. After a five-hour class, shooters will be able to draw their gun, chamber a round and deploy three rounds accurately to the headwithin 1.1 seconds.

ICS Basics The shooter makes a stable stance by stepping to the off-hand side with that leg only. The off-hand foot ispositioned one half a step ahead of the shooting leg. The shooter bends his knees somewhat and gets into a fightingstance. The gun is drawn simultaneously from the holster and brought to eye level in front of the shooter approximatelytwo feet, parallel to the ground and canted 90 degrees (palm facing down). The off hand comes up and racks the gun withthe thumb and index finger as the gun hand pushes forward and repositions the gun to a standard angle (rotatingclockwise). The off-hand comes up to assume a strong grip and the shooter simultaneously places his finger on the triggeand deploys rounds to the head of the target. All head shots all the time. This is a fundamental shooting system that iseasy to teach and exciting to learn. It is great to teach to veteran cops who want to learn new techniques and is cuttingedge in its effectiveness. It is perfect for law enforcement, military or civilian self- defense. This will be a multi-part seriesof articles, the next to feature the training drills and foundation to the technique. Other articles will include advancedapplications, stress drills and gun disarms for the satiations when the officer needs to regain possession of his gun in the

worst-case scenario. TFIAbout the authorHe is a Certified Instructor for the HaganaH FIGHT program, ICS, Israeli Tactical Knife Fighting, Combat Wrestling andGround Survival.
