Kncokout Club
Membership
The Knockout Club is a group of people who have demonstrated knockout ability and share their experience with each other. We have a Facebook group where we share different knockouts and what we can learn from them. You will learn and be entertained at the same time.
If you would like to join the group then you have to accomplish the following:
1. In order to become a member of The Knockout Club you have to be able to knock someone out. As proof of this skill, you must have it caught on video. Yes, if it was not caught on video it does not exist at least for purposes of this club. The exact criteria is a video of a recent (within month) knockout. The video clip must be done in a manner that is safe and respectful to your partner.
2. Originally the KO had to be done in front of Craig but this club is now open to remote members. You can send a CD or flashdrive to Craig at:
Craig Sira, The Knockout Club
911 S. Eleven Mile Road
Midland, MI 48640
Also attach a brief write up on how you accomplished the KO - such as twisting palm to KOT3, your address, phone number and e-mail address. There is a one time $5 sign up fee and Craig will mail you a 'Knockout Club' patch. You can then join the facebook Knockout Club where members share knockout information.
If you do not know how to knockout someone then please refer to the 'Knockout Training' section for options to develop this important martial art skill.

Knockout Training
Knocking someone out is a skill that can be developed by anyone interested and willing to put some training time in. I train students the skills needed to knockout others in a few hours. It is not a hard skill to develop but once you get it you develop a higher level of confidence in your ability to protect yourself. When you watch my DVDs you will see me but more importantly you will see my students doing the knockout many with just months of training. This will give you a much wider perspective on how the training works.
The best way to learn this with face to face training. Every three months I run a research class that spends time on knockouts in Midland, MI. If travel to Midland, MI is not possible for you then you can host a seminar with me at your location. The training is hands on. I will cover targets that have a high likelihood to knock someone out and how to hit it. The students will then practice hitting each other. Usually this works but if not then I have drills that will accomplish the knockout.
The second way to learn is by remote training starting with the following DVDs. These DVDs provide everything you need to know to accomplish the knockouts. Once you accomplish a knockout then you can join the Knockout Club for further instruction.



The first aspect to my Knockout Training is to understand targets and how to hit them. In 'Finish It with a Knockout vol 1 you will learn 5 targets that have a high percentage of success to knockout someone. I then instruct exactly how I knock people out on that target. Then you can see multiple knockouts to that target. Most of the knockouts are done with just one strike. Keeping the training focused and simple allows this to be quickly learned. For many students the information in this DVD is all they need to develop the knockout skill. This DVD is for sale at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Finish-It-With-Knockout-Volume/dp/B009JVYFH0/ref=pd_rhf_gw_p_img_1 Here is a demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iO-86EwUBz0
The second aspect is pressure drills. In 'Finish It With a Knockout Vol 2 - Pressure Drills' you will learn drills that put the student into a situation where they are forced to knockout their partner. Pressure drills are valuable since the student and instructor are provided instant feedback if they were able to knockout someone. The instructor can coach the student as the drill is being performed to ensure success. In addition, the level of pressure in the drills can be adjusted depending on the students skill level. This allows them to be challenging for everyone. This DVD can be ordered at http://www.amazon.com/Finish-It-With-Knockout-Pressure/dp/B00NB9IR3O/ref=pd_rhf_gw_p_img_1
I am so confident that you will be able to accomplish a knockout that if you have bought both DVDs and cannot do it that you can contact me for help and advice. You can do this.
Being able to knockout someone is an important skill. When you can drop someone with your strikes you know they are effective. https://combativemartialartsassociation.webs.com/Effective%20Techniques.pdf
