I know I'm repeating myself, but it really comes down to the instructor's personality. Nice guy equals nice atmosphere, and vice versa obviously.

I would upset his whole Combatives Community, within which only people who never question the Master are allowed to take part in, and whom readily accept each other as "experts" in all kinds of physicial and psychological endeavours that they have little experience of. So much so that they each get to do presentations at seminars, almost as if they know what they're talking about! But they still have to pay..... oh yes!

They may get so upset they'd have to access their state, assuming a killer mindset before close quarter battle. And then, after choppy chopping their way through the enemy, mentally de-anchor each other after their pscychological traumas.

Then it's off to the Chinese Restaurant for more tactical tourist tampon talk and mutual ego stroking!

Heres a quick run through of the Kit List of the next International (the odd Irish bloke and a right pair of Swedes may come after all.....):-

Impact Pads (the ones that sound good when you hit them)
Wooden knives
Combat pants
Clarkes Commando shoes
Plastic gun
Any old shite book about the war
Baldness hiding baseball cap
and the ability to bang out the poorest press ups on the planet.
Brain not required... sixty quid is!
