Why Revat?

Nerve reflex training is the most effective method of self-defense and close combat training. The skill developed in the reflex striking program (REVAT) eliminates thought. A conflict begins - the reflex striker finds contact, overruns that contact and puts down the assailant.

The overrunning of contact - based upon deflection and countering, is the crucial element in Revat. Revat allows a smaller person to defeat a larger opponent. Athletic strength and flexibility are developed simultaneously to the development of nerve reflexes, so that when the individual progresses through the system, the body is adapting in several ways in order to fulfill the actual needs of a conflict situation.

Essentially, Revat (reflex striking) is the retraining of reflexes in order to create a sudden method of dealing with assault.
It is also a genuinely safe and effective method of exercise. Revat changes the way your body reacts. The reflexes of the Revat system simply become your reflexes, and therefore are always present. These reflexes are great for martial arts practitioners of any style. Revat teaches you how to move and react after the first contact has been made and before the fight may go to the ground. In fact, a fight usually does not go to the ground when using Revat. Revat techniques complete a fighter's effectiveness in competitions.
