The Art and
Science of Dynamic Combat™
Elements and System Structure
© 2003 Richard Ryan, Dynamic Combat
The martial art of Dynamic Combat™ or D.C.M. (Dynamic
Combat Method™) comprises three main elements
which when combined form a complete and unified system
structure*.
The Philosophical Foundation sets
forth our unique perspective on the martial arts (in general) and
Dynamic Combat in particular and establishes the foundation for Dynamic
Combat
as a reality-based fighting art. The Theoretical
Foundation further outlines
those basic reality-based concepts and ideas and defines the rules
of action and interaction and the components of ability, efficiency
and victory
in [any] combative engagement. And finally, the Technical
Foundation provides the
organization and training structure for all of the techniques,
tactics and strategies within
the martial art itself.
"The ultimate goal of any reality-based
martial art must be the absolute freedom of expression and
action
in combat. This implies the ability to act and react with great
skill but without conscious thought to any and all actions the
opponent may take. Implicit in that directive is the ability to
adapt to all situations and environments one may face in
real combat. The system of Dynamic Combat is designed to thrust
the student towards
this ultimate goal as fast as humanly possible."
