PURPOSE:

1% dojo represents a wealth of knowledge specific to empty-hand combat tactics and provides a safe environment for students to train.  1% dojo focuses on high-probability techniques anyone can use in empty-hand combat situations.  Learning established techniques to subdue an opponent in several different positions (with variations), coupled with regular intensive sparring, will invariably minimize the chances of injury in a physical confrontation.  Further, by mastering proficiency in all the known stand-up and ground-fighting positions, students will begin to learn how to re-position themselves strategically to optimize the chances of a neutralizing submission. 

PHILOSOPHY:

1% dojo was established to focus on stand-up and ground-fighting systems.  The jaw and neck, for example, are one of the few parts on the human body where everyone is universally weak in terms of their susceptibility to become unconscious due to a well-executed attack (e.g., chokes, strangles, cranks, etc.).  Regardless of whether an opponent is 40- or 440-lbs., neck attacks have the greatest chance of neutralizing dangerous physical threats in the least amount of time with minimal injury. 

Once students have mastered the fundamentals, the curriculum and instruction provides a specialty focus on neck attacks to ensure they have the skill-set to defeat larger opponents quickly.  In a life or death situation, neck attacks may render a dangerous opponent unconscious and provide the victim a small window of opportunity to escape.
