Clint Cloys has been active in the martial arts and self-defense since 1999. His martial art instructor was an Army Ranger and Army Special forces veteran that focused his training on the practical application of techniques and the importance of avoiding, escaping and surviving violent encounters. Clint also worked as a bouncer while putting himself through Purdue University. Here he learned that not everything taught in a martial art setting is applicable to real life violence. He considered this time a valuable learning experience that he doesn’t want to do again!
Clint has worked with officers from IMPD, Avon PD and Hendricks County Sheriff’s Department as well as taught numerous women how to keep safe using simple, direct and effective principles and concepts. He believes firmly that your number one weapon is your mind and that should be followed up with powerful knees and elbows! His classes strive to maintain a professional, safe yet fun learning environment. He loves answering questions and encourages active participation during courses.

When you think about self defense, you need to approach it from a military or police mindset. That means, your defenses need to be in place before the need occurs. If you think about the modern military or even medieval military, the castle, the walls, moats, forts, bunkers, etc. were all put into place before any attack occurred.
They put these measures in place in anticipation of a possible attack. If they waited for the first shots to be fired and the approach of the enemy, it would be way too late. Same with police officers - their bullet proof vests are designed to defend them from gun fire. However, the officer must put the vest on before he or she goes out on patrol. If they wait until a gun is drawn on them, again it is way too late. This is the mindset that you need to have when you think about your own defense.
