Our Mission

We are dedicated to providing individuals an opportunity to learn a devastating, survival-oriented system that will enable them to protect their lives and family in those critical seconds when an imminent physical threat exists.  

The C.R.A.S.H™System is designed to recognize the true nature of criminal/street violence and respond effectively to ensure that you do not become a police statistic.

We teach a functional, easy-to-learn, and devastatingly effective personal defense system that can defeat criminal violence when theory and sport-based martial arts are left in the ring.

What Systems does I.T.D. Systems teach?

The C.R.A.S.H.™ System

Our own proprietary system is the C.R.A.S.H. ™System.  C.R.A.S.H. (Combat Reaction-induction Assault Survival Hybrid) is a hybrid of dozens of different systems specifically tailored to take into account the human body and its strengths and weaknesses.  From the ancient Traditional Spartan Military Pankration to the forward looking R.A.T. we have extracted the very core elements that guarantee you success facing assailants with or without weapons.  We used the teachings of different systems to synthesize a streamlined, efficient way of removing any assailant’s ability to attack by C.R.A.S.H-ing through him using reaction induction striking, causing him to constantly react while we destroy the very structure of his body.

The Executive PFS International System

Imminent Threat Defense Systems LLC can teach the Executive PFS International System developed by the legendary Guro Paul Vunak.  This system was adopted in the 1980’s by the Naval Special Warfare Development Group and involves the application of the R.A.T. (Rapid Assault Tactics) System, and a combination of the Jeet Kune Do, Philippino Martial Arts, passed to Guro Vunak from the legend Magulang Na Guro Dan Inosanto and Gracie Jiu Jitsu taught to Guro Vunak from Grand Master Helio Gracie and the Gracie Family.

Why should anyone train with I.T.D. Systems?

Our experience as teachers, long term study of personal combatives, and experience in the world of personal protection and the military has helped us design our curriculum ensuring two goals: all aspects are proven effective and we use proven educational techniques so it can be learned quickly and recalled when you need it.

Why shouldn’t we just call 9-1-1?  Can’t we just rely on the police to protect us?

The reality of criminal attack is you don’t have the choice to avoid it, you have to react to survive it.  The Supreme Court has ruled numerous times that we do not have the constitutional right to protection by the police.  “In 1856, the U.S. Supreme Court (South v. Maryland) found that law enforcement officers had no affirmative duty to provide such protection. In 1982 (Bowers v. DeVito), the Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit held, "... there is no Constitutional right to be protected by the state against being murdered by criminals or madmen." Court decisions as recent as 2005 have continued this assertion.  (www.WendyMcElroy.com.)  THIS MEANS YOU ARE THE ULTIMATE DEFENDER OF YOUR SAFETY.

Who can benefit from I.T.D. Systems Training?

EVERYONE! Statistics show one murder every 22 minutes, one rape every 5 minutes, one robbery every 49 seconds, and one burglary every 10 seconds.  As we said earlier, the Supreme Court has effectively said, you are ultimately responsible for the protection of yourself and your family!
