It seems that it is not only the students of close combat training who are fighting against the bad guys - even the master himself has his own battles to win. Captain Chris, as how he is more commonly known, has finally won his own war against the many accusations about starting a close combat training scam.

Back then, his website gave those who signed up for the training a trial set of nutritional supplements. If the customer made no action after thirty days, though, the trial would switch into a monthly membership - and many people did not like this marketing scheme. Only those who were able to purchase his self-defense training program DVDs were able to opt out of the membership. However, the site has been keen on keeping their customers informed about this trial offer and even alerted them through emails.

Just recently, however, Chris had decided to put an end to these free trials stating that he wanted to retain his customers because they want more people to learn self-defense in order to defend their loved ones once the situation calls for it. Expectedly, many people have been all too happy to hear that the close combat training scam has been put to an end once and for all. Getting into something that you had not wanted in the first place, such as the monthly vitamin supplements is definitely not what they would want to happen after purchasing DVDs.

What was it in Captain Chris that made him weather every issue that was said against him? How was his website able to survive everything? It was their plain and simple desire to help other people learn to defend themselves and the people around them against the so-called "bad guys".

The world has not gotten any safer by the moment, which is why learning various self-defense strategies, such as the close combat skills, are very important to be able to defend ourselves. While anti-thief gadgets such as stun guns and pepper sprays could do the trick, certain types of people are actually able to endure such counterattacks and they would still be able to hold on to us no matter how much we try to fight. Unfortunately, the hardest part about defending ourselves is fighting against our perpetrator in a close combat. The problem often comes when the other person is too big for us to be able to topple down and only the right close combat techniques would be able to help us.

Close combat skills often include learning hand to hand fighting and the like. You might actually learn how to use the other person's height and weight to your advantage so that you do not have to exert as much force as you normally would. Close combat skills may also include learning how to dodge objects thrown to you and use them against the other person. It might be said that Captain Chris might have used his techniques in fighting off all the scam accusations that were thrown at him.
