My job AND protecting my pension ensure that I will not break English law...... so I'm into unarmed fighting really.  Yes, I do want to learn more about fighting armed people (if I have to), but I won't be the one carrying any time soon.

I note that the Training Mission DVD sets seem to be a mix of unarmed, stick and knife fighting.  Is there any way to get merely the unarmed series?

Mate,

I'd recommend getting them anyway.  To begin with, it's easy to discard the knife, stick etc if you don't want to practice that portion of the material.  Secondly, and this is something you seriously need to consider, it still behooves you to learn how to use a knife and stick to put you in a better position to work against them.  As a bodyguard I learnt to make poisons and IEDs etc.  Not because I need to make them but, as a body guard, I need to know how they work so I know how best to thwart them.

Just because you're not going to carry doesn't mean the people you're training to defend against won't be...and chances are they will.

hope that helps

I would add to Ninor's response other considerations to getting the mission series and learning knife/stick. 

1.  Learning knife stick does help your unarmed skills - strange as that might sound.

2.  You may not carry, but you may pick up.  One of the first rules I learned from Hock and one that I tell to my students over and over again:  Never start off empty handed if you can at all avoid it.  Pick something up!  Depending where you are, there can be any number of improvised impact weapons and knives.

Why limit yourself?  Especially, when many of the drills and training concepts between the three areas blend so well together.
