Sport MMA has rules. Rules dictate how you fight. And the way you train is the way you fight. You can’t rewire your nervous system in the heat of the moment. Under pressure, you’ll react exactly how you’ve trained. RAT Synthesis is STREET MMA. It’s scientific street fighting—beyond traditional styles and modern trends.

What Will You Do When There’s No Referee—Just Life or Death?

Live For Something Or Die For Nothing

Forget Rules. Forget Tradition. Forget Sport. This Is Real.

RAT Synthesis was forged by Sifu Matt Russo, a master martial artist, Raja yogi, and life strategist.
After studying dozens of systems and teaching for years, he saw the fatal flaws in most martial arts:

❌ Too Many Rules – Real fights don’t follow a rulebook. There are no weight classes and referees.
❌ Too Defensive – Waiting to react gives the attacker the upper hand.
❌ Too Many Arts, Drills, and Fancy Moves – If you spread yourself thin you lose power. Complicated techniques collapse under real pressure. Kata and drills don’t guarantee real-world readiness. High kicks get you tackled in the street—not the dojo.
❌ No Mental Preparation – Most systems ignore the psychological warfare of real violence.

So he built a new way—a synthesis of only what works when life is on the line.

THE RAT SYNTHESIS™ FIGHTING SYSTEM.

Sifu (Teacher) Matt Russo’s evolutionary approach includes:

FOUNDATION: Bruce Lee’s street fighting system (60%)

Mike Tyson-style explosive kickboxing combos (20%)

Denis Decker’s devastating Kung Fu & Bagua (20%)

Weapons Training: Kubotan.

Samurai-Yogi MIND RANGE™ TRAINING (100%)
- Bruce Lee perhaps the greatest martial artist of the current era.
- Mike Tyson needs no introduction.
- Denis Decker is known as a Kung Fu prodigy in traditional martial arts circles.
- Weapons Mastery: Kubotan. Legal in New Jersey, USA. Compact. Non-lethal by design— but fully capable of delivering deadly force when the moment demands it.
- Mind Range™. Warrior Mind. Strategic Power. Spiritual Force. The missing link in most martial, personal and professional development training today.
STRATEGIC DOMINANCE: The Art of Controlling and Conquering Any Opponent

STRATEGY IS A CRITICAL FACTOR—THIS IS MUSCLE CHESS.

Become a tactical genius in the chaos of combat. Sun Tzu is strategy. Clausewitz is strategy. Chess is strategy. Bruce Lee, Mike Tyson, and Denis Decker were all strategic geniuses. Yes, efficient techniques and attributes matter—but strategy matters more.

RAT SYNTHESIS™ Core Combat Principles:
- Street-Ready MMA, Not Sport: Brutal low-line kicks, eye jabs, ear slaps, groin shots—designed for survival, not points.
- No Forms. No Fluff: Forget katas, chi sao, and patterned drills. Drills like Hubud build drill skill but not necessarily fight skill. We build real fight skills through adaptive, live-pressure training.
- Relentless Domination: Offense is your best defense. Command and Control the fight before it starts.
- Minimalist, Maximum Impact: Master just 40 lethal techniques across 4 combat ranges—no fluff, no wasted motion. Why get lost in hundreds of moves and endless counters… when a precision arsenal, scientific street-fight strategy, and ruthless vital point targeting can end the chaos and own the fight in seconds—not rounds?
- Mindset Meets Strategy: Integrated training for the body, mind, and battlefield.
- Proven. Tactical. Efficient. Real-world tested. Science-based fitness. Strategic mastery over brute force.
Simplicity = Focus = Power.

A simple system wastes nothing. You train smarter, faster, and still have energy for life.

“I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.” – Bruce Lee

Our system is efficient. You get results with less time and less fluff. A lower maintenance system gives you freedom through mastery.

🔒 Our Defense Is Offense:

We intercept, destroy, and simultaneous block-strike rather than block and then counter, combining defense and counterattack in one seamless motion

⚔️ Our Offense = Relentless Attack:
- Direct Attack: Fast and straight.
- Combinations: Rapid-fire hits.
- Drawing: Bait and counter.
- Immobilization: Trap and shut them down.
- Broken Rhythm: Disrupt their timing.
On the street, 80% of offense is ABC (Attack by Combination) and trapping—because ranges collapse fast. There’s no time for feints or setups like in dojo or sport fighting.

But when distance is kept and bombs are exchanged, RAT Synthesis still has you covered. RAT Synthesis gives you all the tools and prepares you for any scenario.

🧠 Our Formula:

PAIN → PRESSURE → TERMINATE → FOLLOW-UP → FINISH

We break down all fighters:
- Jammers (aggressive)
- Blockers (defensive)
- Runners (evasive)
We take the lead, break their structure, and finish the fight fast.

🚀 4-Tier Training System:
- Tier 1 (Initiate): Core street tactics—learnable in 6 months. Includes the Bruce Lee Fighting System and street kickboxing. Also basic ground defense and kubotan fighting.
- Tier 2 (Apprentice): We add advanced Ground defense, weapons, multiple attackers.
- Tier 3 (Adept): We add advanced Gung Fu, Bagua, fajing (explosive internal power).
- Tier 4 (Master): Self-Mastery and Freedom of Expression (non-physical training).
Training is real-time, hands-on, and strategic. Like chess, you don’t need to know every move—just how to win.

HOW WE SPAR.

Your Sifu coaches you through fight drills and sparring, correcting timing, structure, and awareness. You’ll face a variety of live-action scenarios and evolving challenges designed to sharpen your adaptability and response under pressure.

Our “muscle chess” drills build true combat ability in dynamic, high-stakes situations—just like Bruce Lee used to train champion Joe Lewis.

When ready, students engage in tactical sparring—good guy vs. bad guy, not ego vs. ego—focusing on strategy, timing, and mission-based intent.

We also train:
- Cross-hands sparring to master trapping range and close-quarters sensitivity.
- Motorcycle helmet fight drills from Rapid Assault Tactics™ for realistic chaos.
- Weapons defense sparring to prepare for armed threats under pressure. Also kubotan sparring.
- Counter-groundfighting drills, highly realistic and designed to simulate live ground combat with an emphasis on survival, escape, and rapid neutralization.
- Mass attack sparring to train awareness, movement, and dominance against multiple attackers.
You don’t overpower—you outthink, outmove, and outstrike.

FITNESS DEVELOPMENT.

Kicking Shield Training
Our methods develop explosive power—matching or surpassing even Muay Thai.

Each class is split into two parts:

Technical Training: Learn and refine real-world combat techniques. Attack/defense drills, especially our Five Point Formula – and sparring, when the student is ready.

High-Intensity Conditioning: Strike mitts, punch and kick shields, lift kettlebells, perform calisthenics, and build explosive power with resistance tubing. You’ll build serious cardio and functional strength.

Straight Blast

Shadow fighting using rubber resistance tubing

RAT Synthesis™ delivers real results.

Here’s a photo of me at 57—living proof of the system.

I train just 2.5 times a week and maintain peak performance across my entire strategic system.

I don’t hit the gym, use weight machines, jog, or ride ellipticals.

It’s scientific street fighting paired with a proven, science-based training approach.

MINDSET & STRATEGIC MASTERY: REAL WORLD PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT.

“I’ve always believed that the mind is the best weapon.” – John Rambo

This is where RAT Synthesis stands alone.
It’s not just training—it’s transformation.

Every class ends with 15 minutes of life mastery:
- Inner Stillness & Emotional Control
- Warrior Meditation
- Law of Attraction & Energy
- Tactical Visualization
- Combat & Life Strategy
The path of the tactician. The yogi-sage. The spiritual warrior.

Master this—and life becomes your game.

Why RAT Synthesis Is for You:
- You don’t have time for gimmicks—you want what works.
- You don’t care about belts—you care about survival.
- You’re not looking to compete—you’re training to win when it counts.
- You want to be stronger, smarter, faster, and spiritually grounded.
Whether you’re a beginner, martial artist, or everyday citizen—if you want to dominate the moment instead of be dominated, this system is for you.

Live for Something. Or Die for Nothing.

Don’t wait for violence to find you.
Train today. Win tomorrow.

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.

Mushin no shin, prepared to intercept and destroy.

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!
1. Pain: Strike a vital point or destroy the attacking limb, creating an opening.
2. Pressure: Engage with a relentless Straight Blast, overwhelming their defenses.
3. Terminate: Close range and destroy with headbutts, knees, and elbows.
4. Follow Up: Ensure they have no chance to recover.
5. Finish: End the encounter decisively.
FOLLOW-UP
- Powerful boxing punches inspired by Mike Tyson
- Devastating PaGua palm strikes
- Chops to the throat (life or death) and neck
- Ridge Hand Strikes (throat and back of the neck) Life or death
- Doubles
- Palm strikes to the side of the head
FINISH
- Push them away
- Push them away, then kick
- White Snake Spits Out Tongue (Tai Chi)
- Chin Lift and Rear Takedown
- Rear Strangle
- Arm Bar
This battle-tested strategy draws from the legendary Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do, combined with Grandmaster Denis Decker’s Gung Fu, and the explosive power of Mike Tyson’s boxing and kicking. At its core is Rapid Assault Tactics (RAT), pioneered by Sigung Paul Vunak, a system designed for pure combat efficiency. This is the synthesis of battle-tested strategies from some of the most legendary street fighters in history.

Lead sidekick interception

TACTICAL BREAKDOWN: THE ART OF INTERCEPTION AND DESTRUCTION

A simple elbow destruct eliminates their weapons.

We do not attempt to out box a superior boxer. Instead, we intercept, destroy, and simultaneous block and hit.

”Imagine Muhammad Ali with no legs or arms, all he would be is a stump, just bouncing around with no way of harming you”.

– Dan Inosanto.

Vs. Straight Punches

Destructions:
- Leopard Fist – Attacking the incoming limb with a sharp, penetrating strike.
- Elbow Destructs – Using your elbow to smash into the opponent’s fist.
- Gunting (Scissors) – A cutting strike with the middle knuckle to disable the attacking arm.
- Phoenix Eye Fist – Targeting sensitive areas with precision.
- Strike their biceps
A simple knee destruct obliterates their shin when they Thai round kick

Eye jab interception

Interceptions:
- Eye Jab – As they close the distance, blind them immediately.
- Leopard Fist to Throat – In life-or-death scenarios, neutralize instantly.
- Front/Side Kick to Groin or Legs – Stop their advance cold.
- Pat the Jab, Pat the Cross + Intercept:
  
  Lead Low Sidekick
  
  Rear Thai Kick to Thigh
  
  Low Front Kick or Oblique Kick
- Evade and Counterattack Simultaneously
- Angle and Fire with Hand strikes or Kicks
Intercepting with a groin kick and taking them down

Simultaneous counter punch takes the initiative

Simultaneous Blocking and Striking
- Vs. Hook Punches: Outside block while launching an eye jab.
- Vs. Overhand Punches: Rising block at a 45-degree angle while launching an eye jab.
Vs. Kicks:
- High Round Kick: Elbow destruction.
- Low Round Kick: Knee destruction.
- Middle Round Kick: Shelf the leg, knee strikes up, elbow strikes down, front groin kick, and trip.
- Middle Side Kick: Elbow strike down while retreating slightly.
- Low side kick to leg: raise your knee and tuck your heel a little.
- Spin Kick: Front heel kick to their butt or lower back to stop it.
- Heel Hook Kick: Elbow destruction to disable.
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
Bagua P’eng/Hinge (Ox Tongue)

ADVANCED COMBAT: TIER 3 & BEYOND

At higher levels, we introduce advanced Gung Fu and Bagua principles, emphasizing taking the sides and flanking attacks.

Once the cross-arm position or a connection with their body occurs, Denis Decker Gung Fu principles are applied to manipulate their centers and dominate the encounter.

Become a Master Warrior

“The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war.” — Norman Schwarzkopf

FINAL THOUGHTS: CONTROL THE FIGHT, CONTROL YOUR DESTINY

RAT Synthesis is not just a fighting system—it is a philosophy of dominance. It is built for those who refuse to be victims, who understand that true self-defense means eliminating the threat before it becomes one.

Through the synthesis of the most effective martial arts strategies in history, this system ensures that when danger arises, you dictate the outcome.

Train hard. Attack the attack. Finish decisively. Master the art of proactive aggression. Win.
