Peace is not the absence of conflict. Peace is the acceptance of conflict while remaining the strong still center within.
RAT Synthesis is a transformative self-defense, fitness, and life mastery program curated by Sifu Matt Russo that blends the power of Rapid Assault Tactics (R.A.T.), Kickboxing, Chi Ling Pai® Gung Fu and a fusion of ancient wisdom with cutting edge strategies. Designed for adults and teens age 13 and above, this program aims to elevate individuals with streetwise skills, improved fitness, philosophical insights, and heightened self-confidence.
R.A.T. is a groundbreaking technique developed by renowned street-fighting expert Paul Vunak, focused on swiftly ending street fights by overwhelming opponents physically and emotionally. Chi Ling Pai® Gung Fu, established by Grandmaster Denis Decker, emphasizes mastering the control of the opponent through fluid, circular motions and diverse animal-inspired techniques.
Our program goes beyond self-defense techniques to include a great anaerobic workout striking mitts and kicking shields, ensuring you’re not just prepared for any situation but also in peak physical condition.
The training progression consists of four tiers:
1) Rapid Assault Tactics (R.A.T.) Foundation
2) Kickboxing and Advanced Fight Strategy
3) Gung Fu and PaGua (Bagua)
4) Self-Mastery and Freedom of Expression
Students progress through ranks within each tier, with an emphasis on practical application rather than traditional forms. The training encompasses mastering the six ranges of combat: Kicking, Hand Striking, Trapping, Grappling, Weapons (Kubotan), and Mind.
The RAT Synthesis Martial Strategy delves into the two main offensive approaches: Finesse and Power. The Finesse strategy focuses on precision and well-timed strikes, while the Power strategy emphasizes overwhelming opponents with force. Techniques such as the R.A.T. approach and Bruce Lee’s five ways of attack are employed for speed, power, and deceptiveness. Our method of defense prioritizes interception and destruction over blocking. Our self-defense formula is PAIN-PRESSURE-TERMINATE-FOLLOW UP-FINISH.
Additionally, the program offers training like the Mind Range, which integrates meditation, visualization, positive autosuggestion, subliminals, and law of attraction practices to align the mind with self-defense goals and foster personal growth and mastery.
Overall, RAT Synthesis offers a holistic approach to self-defense, fitness, and life-mastery, empowering individuals to unleash their potential and seize their destiny.
