What's up people. Haven't been to the main forum in a while, but I figured here is a better place than the internal forum to ask this question.
Have any of you ever heard of F.A.S.T. Defense before? It's one of those "reality" training things, or as they put it "Adrenal Stress Response Training". The main guy there is named Bill Kipp. They have guys in big suits that make them look like aliens curse at you real loud and attack you to get you all worked up.
If anyone here has done their workshop before or has heard anything about them I'd like to know whatever you know.
They are having a F.A.S.T. Defense seminar at my senior's school just out of Philly, and I just wanted to see what the word on the street was about the system, if anyone's heard of it at all. My school and my teacher are thinking of going to it during November, our school's "Hell Month" in san shou (free fighting) class. My teacher does get tired of beating the crap out of us every week, you know.
(one of the things I noticed from looking at their website, fastdefense.com, is that you have the guy in the alien suit, but the people taking the seminar are attacking the guy with no padding. Because of legal issues, I'm guessing the guys [if they can even move in those suits] aren't going to break your nose or knock you out. So it seems like you can pound away at this guy knowing that you're in no real physical danger. Just a thought)
