The First Strike Combatives System Review is simply meant to highlight a self-defense fighting program developed by an ex-commander of the Canadian Forces SSF (one of the elitist Special Forces in the world).
The name of this highly decorated Special Forces operative is Todd Lamb and he is well versed with hand to hand combat techniques. These techniques determine the difference between life and death.

Who is Todd Lamb and what is so Special about Him?
Todd Lamb is the creator of the First Strike Combatives System. He is not your everyday ‘ordinary Joe’ but a veteran in unarmed combat. Prior to compiling this eBook, Todd has served actively in the Canadian Special Forces as a Special Operator.
Apart from this, Todd has also served as a leader of one of the elitist SWAT teams in the entire world. He along with Ari Knazan (a veteran martial arts instructor) have put together some of the ‘deadliest’ and ‘easy to learn’ martial arts techniques so as to ensure that even a layman can execute these stunts at warp speed.
Todd reveals that Special Forces spend just a few weeks mastering a handful of deadly hand to hand combat techniques in order to take control of their opponent. All these techniques are based on the natural reflex action of the human body.
He is also of a firm opinion that relying on martial arts for defending oneself against a sudden onslaught is not an ideal way to protecting yourself. Even MMA techniques are ineffective. Todd explains that all this is owing to the rules that the traditional martial art forms are forced to follow.
What is First Strike System?
The First Strike System has been developed to help people that are physically and mentally weak to have an edge over their attackers. This program has been developed by elite special force operative and a martial arts instructor. They have ensured to keep in mind the ‘non-combat experience’ of the concerned individual before compiling the self-defense system.
The WW2 Fighting Techniques:
Todd has developed the fighting technique that was devised by the Shanghai Municipal Police some 200 years ago. The Shanghai Police used human instinctive reactions to contain an onslaught. These fighting styles were tested and then combined with Chinese gangster style fighting techniques before being tested on over two thousand (live and documented) encounters.
The World War II Special Force Teams of USA and UK were then coached by handpicked Shanghai Police officers to learn instinctive fighting techniques. This technique became so popular that within a few weeks of its inception, the trained officers recorded more enemy kills than ever before.
These techniques are so deadly that within a few weeks of mastering them, you can become confident enough to take on any kind of onslaught without a second’s hesitation.
When Can Violence Strike?
Violent crimes have been known to strike at will. They never come with prior warning and the results can be disastrous indeed. Todd has identified the following scenarios when violence tends to strike the most:
>>> While walking down at night with your girl when a thug starts pestering and even follows you. Despite you trying hard to walk away from the scene, the mugger follows you. The consequences can be disastrous if you do nothing.
>>> You are driving from school after picking up your daughter and stop at a busy intersection. Suddenly the back door opens and in comes a kidnapper with a gun pointed at your daughter’s head.
>>> If you are confronted by a couple who is fighting right on the street you frequent and you happen to witness the male getting abusive with his spouse. Like any other Good Samaritan, you decide to step in. This can be disastrous, especially if you do not have the physical and mental skills to ward of an irate male member.
>>> Sometimes, while paying a visit to a new locality, you enter a particular section wherein you are unwanted. This is when you need to display positive body language to escape from becoming a victim of the hood.
>>> You enter your house after a hard day’s work and find an unknown person inside (obviously a burglar). You are now in a serious situation as the burglar has seen you and so have you. How would you react to save your life and avoid a mishap?
>>> You just took some cash out of an ATM at night when you get mugged. How would you save yourself and your precious money from getting robbed?
Highlights of the First Strike Combatives Self Defense System
Here are a few of the things that caught my attention while viewing and practicing the fighting techniques via the video tutorials:
>>> I learnt that a single strike to the body that could end the fight. This was definitely a devastating move and an eye-opener for me.
>>> I mastered the top 3 strategies that can end a complicated fight in a jiffy. I also learnt how to avoid getting hit on the head if I was taken down to the ground.
>>> The top seven kinds of locks and breaks that are performed by the Special Forces to render their enemy helpless. I found each and every one of the seven techniques so simple and wondered why no one even bothers to teach them. Then I wonder – does anyone even know about them?
>>> I learnt the art of reading the mind of my assailant even before he has a chance to make a move. Trust me I knew this trick since I was ten years old but I could never understand how and when to make use of it.
>>> Todd taught me how to contain a crazed assailant who is hell bent on shooting everyone dead. There is only one technique to be used at such situations and it can make a difference between life and death (this involves not one but many lives).
>>> I mastered the art of defending myself against a sharp edged weapon.
>>> A simple take-down method that would usually break the face of the attacker, leaving him helpless and unable to do any further damage.
There were several more techniques that I learnt (17 in total) but the ones mentioned above, managed to capture my attention the most. The best part is that most fight techniques were taught via a short 3 minute video tutorial.
Who is it Meant For?
>>> If you have never even thrown a punch in your entire life and you are faced with a crisis then, this course is ideal for you.
>>> You have already received martial arts training but you are unsure of its application in the real life scenario, then again, this course would work wonders for you.
>>> If you are not confident enough to face your adversary then, this guide shall teach you how to unveil your ‘alpha-dog’ confidence.
>>> You have never been to a gym and have never lifted weights in your life. This makes you weak and vulnerable. Nonetheless, the First Strike Combatives System can help you overcome this drawback.
>>> You simply avoid conflict and dislike the idea of getting into a fight.

How do You Beat Someone Who is Way Bigger and Stronger than You?
No one wishes to get into a fight unless you are a trained fighter who is aiming to win a fight competition. Nonetheless, there are times when you get mugged while returning home late at night. If you have your wife or sister along with you then, getting robbed in the dead of the night can be a scary ordeal. When if you are cornered by a bigger and stronger opponent. How do you beat the man? Well, here are a few insider tips:
Keep Calm & Your Fist High:
The first instinctive reaction is to run or stay. If you cannot run, you need to stay and fight. Assuming you are not a trained fighter and your opponent is way bigger and stronger, you need to maintain your calm. Keep your fists clenched and elbows bent thereby protecting your rib cage, face and neck. Your body should stoop forward so as to absorb the blows and also to counter-punch your opponent.
Slip and Avoid Going to the Ground:
If the fight is allowed to go to the ground then, you are sure to lose. Your opponent is stronger and definitely heavier than you. It is quite likely that you can get seriously injured if you fall to the ground. So, use your speed to dodge his punches and thwart his intent to take you to the ground.
Never allow his strikes to fall on your body. Blocking strikes of a larger and stronger opponent shall inflict serious injuries to your body. So, use your light weight to your advantage by slipping and weaving. Quick head movement to evade punches thrown by your attacker is highly recommended in this scenario.
Getting Hit is OK but Be Quick on Your Feet:
It is but obvious that you shall get hit. If you are mugged then, you are taken by surprise. Even if you are a trained fighter, you shall have to take a punch. Avoid getting hit on vulnerable body parts such as the nose, jaw, throat, liver, groin etc. Instead, take a punch on your arm or the thigh. If you are struck on the face then, the forehead is the strongest.
Moving away from the strike is not advisable. Instead, if you are hit then, move towards the punch to lower its impact. Avoid taking too many punches. Instead, use the balls of your feet to keep your body away from your bigger opponent’s reach. Circle, weave in and out – do anything that wears the bigger man down.
Close the Distance & Sweet Time Your Punch:
When you are attacked by a larger opponent, you are at a distinct disadvantage. He has a better reach and hence, you shall find it almost impossible to get in striking distance. So, you need to bridge this gap. Using your speed and agility (which I am assuming is with a smaller opponent), you need to get closer to your opponent.
When you get close, his strike-impact shall be dramatically reduced. At the same time, you shall be able to strike him with ease. You may even try for a knockout punch by aiming at his jaw, throat, groin or the solar plexus. If he staggers despite your punch, keep up the attack and you shall eventually win the fight. The trick here is to keep the pressure on your larger opponent.
Submissions are the Key to Tricky Fights:
You need to be a trained fighter in order to execute these techniques. Nonetheless, a few holds such as choke-holds/locks can allow you to end the fight in a jiffy. You need not to attend a fight school for the same. Knee locks, armbars and rear naked choke are a few holds that can end the fight in a jiffy. You may learn these from a trained instructor without undergoing a lengthy fight course spanning several years.
There are No Rules in a Street Fight:
Feel free to hit below the belt (if you have to) in a street fight. In case your opponent is using a weapon (such as a knife) his intentions are evil indeed. You need to look for a weapon to defend yourself. It could be the leg of a broken chair, a wooden club, a baseball bat, a piece of cloth or even a pen. Use any items that you can get your hands onto and use it as a weapon. If push comes to shove then, break a beer bottle and use it as a sharp edged weapon.
Conclusion
Self-defense training is more important for everyday folks than you might think.
Imagine walking home late at night, feeling a bit uneasy. Wouldn’t it be great to know you have the skills to protect yourself if needed?
Self-defense training isn’t just about fighting off attackers; it’s about building confidence and awareness in everyday situations.
Scientific research backs this up. A study in the “Journal of Applied Psychology” found that individuals who underwent self-defense training reported higher levels of self-confidence and perceived safety.
This isn’t just a psychological boost; it’s a real, tangible change in how you carry yourself. People who are confident and aware are less likely to be targeted by potential threats.
Moreover, self-defense training improves physical fitness.
According to the “Journal of Physical Activity and Health,” engaging in regular self-defense practice can enhance cardiovascular health, muscle strength, and overall endurance. It’s like hitting two birds with one stone – you get fitter and learn valuable life-saving skills.
Let’s not forget the mental benefits. The “Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment & Trauma” highlights that self-defense training can reduce anxiety and stress, providing a healthy outlet for pent-up energy and emotions.
So, whether it’s for peace of mind, physical fitness, or mental health, self-defense training offers a well-rounded approach to enhancing your everyday life.
Plus, it’s empowering to know you can take care of yourself and your loved ones.
Why not give it a try?
You might just find it’s one of the best decisions you ever make.
