Hock Hochheim tells us he welcomes all ages to his 20th annual SFC (Scientific Fighting Congress) seminar. Mr. Hochheim is a 7th Dan black belt who has a 40 years background in martial arts and what his bio describes as 30 years’ experience with the police and military. He will be holding seminars in the U.S. to mark the celebration at the following times and locations. On Force Necessary, his website, Hochheim says, “I saw it all coming together into the true essence of combat when I launched The Scientific Fighting Congress many years ago. I came to understand the only reason I learned and taught fighting systems was to defeat two targets, the enemy soldier and the criminal, not to pass on grandmaster dynasties, become a trophy/sport champion or to preserve art for the sake of tradition. There are two ways to defeat the enemy in close quarter combat, less-than-lethal means and lethal means. In short-sometimes we take them prisoner and sometimes we have to kill them. A competent warrior can do both as legally, morally and ethically needed in a proper use-of-force continuum. Every conflict is situational. If you want to defeat the enemy soldier or the criminal, this is the system for you.” 2016 Hochheim SFC Seminar Series There will be four major events in 2016.
