Here’s what Burton has to say:
Fighting is reading an opponent’s intentions, then responding efficiently to neutralize his attacks. It is not going through a memorized routine.
If you are training for functional fighting skill, your mitt drills should feel similar to sparring or fighting. You should be moving, defending against punches, kicks, tackles, grabs, and, when training for self-defense, weapons. You don’t have time to think in a real situation so you must train your subconscious to deal with anything, WHILE striking at full speed, power, and intensity. This is what high-level mitt work should develop.
What elements should be included? How should they be fed? And how do you modify the functional sport mitt training when focusing on self-defense? This is what Focus Mitts For Sport And Street Self Defense is all about."
- 16 specific, essential concepts that must be included in your mitts training to optimize the fighter’s skill development.
- Plus many other examples of important points to enhance skill faster than ever in the kickboxing, clinch, and ground ranges.
- Plus scenario training, multiple opponent drills, self-defense specific targeting, and weapons recognition during the For The Street section.
If you want to make your focus mitt rounds more fun, more exciting, and much more effective, then utilize this course. Let me know if you have any questions at all.

"My Knife Defense For The Street program is the result of two decades of pressure testing. Drawing from my nearly 40-year martial arts background in Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do, the Filipino martial arts (Original Dog Brother, “Lucky Dog”), MMA, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Indonesian Silat, wrestling, Krav Maga, and other arts...If you are interested in functional knife defense, I highly suggest you invest in this course."

Imagine you’re about to board a flight that will take you to a dream destination. Just before you walk down the jetway you glance at the aircraft and are surprised to see a radically different shape. The wings are very short and the cabin is slanted. It looks pleasingly exotic.
The captain greets you as you are about to step onto the plane. You comment about the interesting shape of the vessel and ask how it feels in the air. The captain shakes his head and says, “I don’t know. But all the computer models say that it will fly faster and smoother than normal jets.”
What is your next question? Mine would be, “Haven’t you ever flown it?” The captain says “No one has actually flown it. This is its maiden flight. But I really trust the people that came up with the design. It should work very well.”
I don’t know about you, but I’m not getting on that plane! I wouldn’t have faith in an aircraft until it has been thoroughly tested. But too many people have faith in knife defense techniques, which could mean the difference between life and death in an actual attack, that have not been pressure tested.
Pressure testing is when you put on protective gear, use a relatively safe training knife, and let your partner come at you all-out. 100% resistance, intensity, and intent. That’s what you are going to face in most knife attacks so that is how we pressure test. We just use protection and a padded knife to keep it as safe as possible. Let’s be clear that demonstrating or drilling with a cooperative feeder is not pressure testing. It’s not even testing. Testing means adding non-choreographed resistance. Pressure testing is when that resistance and intensity are at or near 100%.
My Knife Defense For The Street program is the result of two decades of pressure testing. Drawing from my nearly 40-year martial arts background in Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do, the Filipino martial arts (Original Dog Brother, “Lucky Dog”), MMA, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Indonesian Silat, wrestling, Krav Maga, and other arts, I decided to employ my science education (I majored in Biological Sciences at USC) to methodically pressure test a wide array of knife defense scenarios. I used the same approach that I did when I worked as a scientist in the Harbor UCLA medical center laboratories. I created a hypothesis (a theoretical technique that I thought would yield good results) then took that theory into the laboratory of hard sparring to see how it held up. We regularly geared up and went all out. My instructions to my partner were always the same – “stab me as many times as you can!”
Most techniques crumbled under the pressure of real resistance. Some gave a favorable result. And some of those, after years of sparring, were shown to have holes. So I made adjustments and continued the testing and adjusting process until we got good results. After two decades of testing, we have closed up most of the holes.
Let me be clear, it is never easy to deal with a committed knife attacker. You are at a huge disadvantage. But, these methods give you a real fighting chance so that you may be able to go home without debilitating injuries.
People sometimes ask me why I don’t teach all the spectacular knife defense methods that I have learned over the years. Here's my answer: I bring more of a professional fight coach philosophy to self-defense training. Just as when I train an athlete for a UFC fight, my aim is to prepare folks for combat. We keep the training as fun as possible, but I’m not there to entertain. My job is to help you win a fight.
As far as knife street self-defense goes, I figure that at some time, one of my students will actually have to use his or her skills in a self-defense situation. That means I have a great responsibility to give them the most functional training possible. I want to be sure that I prepare them for an actual life-and-death situation instead of just dazzling them with flashy techniques that only work against a cooperative feeder. Since I teach a large number of people across the globe, the likelihood that a student will face a blade is much higher. I decided on this approach a long time ago, and I’m glad I did.
To date, I have had three students actually use these empty hand methods against real knife attacks. A soldier in Afghanistan, an immigration officer in Australia, and a police officer in New York city were all able to defend themselves while incurring minimal damage. I’m very thankful that it worked out for them. I can’t imagine what would have happened if I had prioritized looking cool over being effective.
The program will help you develop functional self-defense. Whether you are in law-enforcement, security, the military, or really want to protect yourself and your loved ones, this course will prove very valuable for your training.
