Christopher Hicks breaks down Armor Up Self-Protection, a practical self-defense and combatives system built for real-world pressure, not point sparring or ring sport. In this video we get into targeting, mindset, street fighting concepts, proactive self-protection, and the tactical principles Chris learned from Pete “Sugarfoot” Cunningham and Richard “Mack” Machowicz.
Chris explains why what works in the ring is not always what works in a real confrontation, why he thinks most people focus too much on movement instead of targets, and how his core idea, “targets dictate weapons, weapons dictate movement,” changes the way you think about self-defense.
If you’re into self-defense, combatives, Krav Maga, dirty boxing, street fighting tactics, practical martial arts, or real-world fighting mindset, this one is for you.

In this video:
• self-defense mindset
• combatives training
• street fighting concepts
• practical targeting
• proactive self-protection
• tactical awareness
• pressure and aggression
• fight psychology
• real-world application vs sport fighting
