Course Description
The last thing you want to do is get in a street fight, but sometimes they are not avoidable. Street Jitsu is a practical martial art designed specifically to handle the most common types of fighters you will encounter on the street.
It took years of street fighting to develop this art, which is a mix between Maui Thai, Boxing, and Jiu Jitsu. Every move is practical and easy to learn. Even my fiancée, with zero fighting experience, is learning the moves quickly.
Most martials arts are not good against the unpredictability of a street fighter, and most of them are not practical and are hard to learn. Street Jitsu is not. It’s also very effective, proven by years of it being used in street fights.
Check out the intro video.

I'm a best selling author on Amazon for "How to Draw Awesome Figures."
I studied art at different schools, one of them being a community college in San Jose, Ca. Over the years, subjects in art finally clicked. I teach these subjects in ways that make it easy to grasp. It's hard to brag about myself, but students have written me emails saying how they have learned more from me than they did in art schools, art schools such as Academy of Arts in San Franscico. That blew my mind because it's supposed to be a great school.
I also sell abstract paintings that I painted while meditating. A recent painting sold for $10,963. If enough art students ask, I will make a course on how to abstract paint. You can see my paintings at saatchiArt
I'm also a writer that has sold novels.

ディフェンスに重点をおいた内容で護身術にもってこいのコンテンツだと思います。また、しっかりと反復練習もしてくれているので分かりやすかったです。

GOOD FIT FOR ME TO KNOW HOW TO DIFFUSE THE SITUATION
By Mark Lee on 4/12/2020
poor delivery of course material, lack of content and lack of knowledge around the subject.
By Tony Marascio on 11/9/2019
It’s obvious that Neil is a martial artist with some years experience. He shows techniques from multiple angles. I might not agree with everything but that’s the art in martial art. We all personally decide which paints to use. I did however absolutely love his thoughts on getting up from the ground with someone on top of you. Great stuff!
By Rico Sanchez on 5/12/2018

Great explanations and very practical advice.

Real sensible advice for anyone trying to avoid confrontation.
By Prenn1789@yahoo.com on 11/30/2017
Impressive breadth of practical knowledge and training! I've been around a bit, but the breadth of what I saw here was beyond anything I had hoped for when I signed up. I watched all of the videos in less than a week, but will take months, if not years, to do the practice necessary to really learn the material. In the mean time, the principles taught in this course about the different types of street fighters and how to respond to them are all really useful ways of thinking about fighting situations.
