You can find hundreds of self proclaimed experts of self defense. But none have a story quite like Captain Chris. Reason being, Chris Pizzo survived a near death experience and not only lived to tell his story, but used his experience to educate thousands of people around the world about how to defend themselves. At the time of random attack upon him and his wife, Chris was recovering from chemotherapy therapy for cancer. As a result, his system was drastically weakened and he was not of his normal level of strength. Forced to watch wife utterly terrified by knife-wielding criminals, there was practically nothing he could do regarding it. Thankfully, the police showed up, otherwise the two may possibly not have survived.
Ever since that day, Captain Chris has dedicated every moment he could to learn as much as he possible regarding self defense. His desire to learn everything there is to learn brought him from one end of the globe to the other with many stops along the way. He studied almost every kind of martial arts that the world has to offer, looking to find the best type of self defense techniques. After trying out all the different types of self defense, Chris Pizzo found both advantages and flaws in them all. Each type of martial arts has its own advantages. For example, some work better for fighting on the ground, while others are great for defending yourself against someone who has a weapon.
After years of study, Captain Chris couldn’t seem to find one that served useful in every type of fighting situation no matter how long he searched. That is of course until he stumbled upon a intriguing concept of combining the best aspect of each type of martial arts he had learned. The result was Close Combat Training.

But the best was when he realized that anyone could quickly master of this type of training. Captain Chris knew then that this was what he was looking for and made it his life mission to inform as many people possible of these amazing self defense techniques.
