LMI was founded because of the lack of real world combative training in the civilian and Law Enforcement training communities.

In the real world when someone is trying to kill you, you need to do more than simply defend yourself,, YOU MUST FIGHT BACK if you want to win and go home. You must vigorously and dynamically attack back, destroying your attacker. Your heart starts racing and your body goes into survival mode. You must understand these changes and use these changes to your advantage.

On the streets, bad guys do not play by the rules,, so why should we.

LMI’s Integrated Street Combative System was designed to teach the student to avoid a confrontation through awareness, but should you lower your awareness or should your personal space be circumvented, LMI’s Integrated Street Combative System teaches you what you must do to win on today’s streets.

When attacked, you do not have the time to wrestle with or attempt to put the attacker in a submission hold. Doing this only delays stopping the attack and possibly gives the friends of the attacker time to surprise and kill you.

Tradition martial arts take years to learn and are often useless against a person raised on the streets. A person who; lives by no rules; trains more than most law enforcement officers; has survived and learned from many numerous fights; is often under the influence of drugs or alcohol and will do anything not to go back to prison.

We aim at building the student’s confidence and proficiencies through intense, reality based as well as environmentally based training. Students learn that their bodies and minds are their primary weapons, and that knifes, firearms and improvised weapons are only supportive tools that can give them an advantage.

Because of the Use of Force Continuum which dictates our actions, especially if you are in Law Enforcement or in the Military, LMI has incorporated ‘Force Continuum’ into our training. This allows you to stop and control an attacker with minimal force with minimal damage to yourself, as well as to the attacker should events not warrant lethal force.
