Relentless Straight Blast: When set up properly, a nearly unstoppable force—pure momentum in motion.
THE WAY OF STRATEGY
Attack is the secret of defense; defense is the planning of an attack. – Sun Tzu
In the realm of combat, hesitation is defeat. RAT Synthesis embraces the philosophy of proactive aggression—the ability to take control of the fight by inflicting pain as defense.
This method is built on the principles of destruction and interception, ensuring that every movement cripples the attack before it can manifest.
NO HESITATION.
RAT Synthesis Mind Range™ training helps transform you into the ultimate warrior
No Fear, No Hesitation, No Surprise, No Doubt – Miyamoto Musashi
To eliminate hesitation, fear, and other inner interference, we train Mushin no shin (無心の心) mindset. Pure awareness. No-self. Wide angle vision.
Learn to tap into no-mind, no-self and move faster, think sharper, and respond with an intelligence beyond the limits of the conditioned self.
The benefits extend beyond the kwoon (training hall) and into all areas of your life, allowing you to become the calm, still, highly effective center in the midst of life’s storms and chaos.
“It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” — Charles Darwin
When still, we are relaxed yet ready. Same when moving around at a distance.
When counter attacking, we use intense explosive motion to overwhelm our opponent and throw them off balance.
There’s a reason Japan’s most fearless warriors, the samurai, embraced Zen.

Not being tense but ready; not thinking yet not dreaming; not being set but flexible – ready for whatever may come – Bruce Lee
The Art of Pain: Destruction & Interception
“The best way to predict your future is to create it.” — Abraham Lincoln
A successful defense isn’t about blocking; it’s about ensuring your opponent regrets ever initiating the attack. RAT Synthesis employs two devastating approaches:
- Interception: Striking into the attack, stopping it before it reaches you.
- Destruction: Counterattacking the attacking limb itself to “defang the snake,” making further attacks impossible.
“An idiot with a plan can beat a genius without a plan.”
– Warren Buffet
THE BATTLE PLAN: PAIN – PRESSURE – TERMINATE – FOLLOW UP – FINISH!
- Pain: Strike a vital point or destroy the attacking limb, creating an opening.
- Pressure: Engage with a relentless Straight Blast, overwhelming their defenses.
- Terminate: Close range and destroy with headbutts, knees, and elbows.
- Follow Up: Ensure they have no chance to recover.
- Finish: End the encounter decisively.

This is the synthesis of battle-tested strategies from some of the most legendary street fighters in history.

Counter Ground Fighting (RAT).
We do not attempt to out grapple a superior grappler. Instead we create pain and escape opportunities. We want to be on our feet and in a mobile position.
Vs. Grappler:
If they shoot in, use Bagua internals to prevent it. If you end up on the bottom, use RAT counter ground fighting.
“Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee” – Muhammad Ali
THE BACKUP PLAN: PURE BLOCKING & EVASION
While proactive aggression is the core of RAT Synthesis, there’s always a need for defensive fallbacks:
- Western Boxing Guard: Tight cover, patting punches, and strong blocking.
- Evasive Maneuvers:
- Moving back out of range
- Leaning back to avoid punches
- Sidestepping and angling to create openings
