Paul Vunak’s R.A.T. Technique Fighting System (Full Program – Part 1) | Self Defense Lessons R.A.T.
Rapid Assault Tactics (R.A.T.)™ is a groundbreaking technique, offering a streamlined approach developed by renowned street-fighting expert Paul Vunak. This powerful method is designed to end a street fight quickly, gaining recognition even from the elite Navy SEAL Team 6.
Paul Vunak, hailed as the “world’s most dangerous man” by Black Belt magazine, is a prominent figure in martial arts. Renowned for his calm demeanor and soft-spoken nature, Vunak has a history of teaching street-fighting skills and has even trained the elite SEAL Team 6. He was personally trained by Dan Inosanto who trained with Bruce Lee and is the highest ranked individual in Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do. Vunak has trained the FBI, the DEA, and numerous other government agencies.
The R.A.T. Technique:
The R.A.T. is a trifecta of moves – Pain, Pressure, Terminate – devised by Vunak to overwhelm opponents physically and emotionally. This technique, derived from the principles of Jeet Kune Do, is known for its simplicity and devastating effectiveness. It contains the Jeet Kune Do “Battle Plan” and is inspired by Bruce Lee.
ENTRY – PAIN:
Intercept the opponent and/or destroy their limbs.
Change the opponent’s emotional state from aggression to focusing on their pain.
PRESSURE:
Utilize the “straight blast”
Overwhelm the opponent with a series of blows down the centerline.
Make it very difficult for the opponent to strike back or maintain balance.
TERMINATE: (optional phase)
Use formidable weapons of the human body such as headbutts, elbows, and knees.
Ensure the opponent is incapacitated and unable to continue the fight.
The R.A.T. approach emphasizes not attempting to out-box a superior boxer or out-grapple a superior grappler. Instead, it teaches how to overcome a stronger, more skilled opponent by employing tactics such as targeting vital points and prioritizing offensive maneuvers like destructions and interceptions over passive defenses such as blocking or bobbing and weaving. It focuses on creating pain and escape opportunities when on the ground. This approach enables an older, smaller, or weaker fighter to achieve victory, and these tactical advantages are central to the RAT Synthesis program.
