Winston Churchill, the British Prime Minister during WWII said:
To every man, there comes in his lifetime, that special moment when he is figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered a chance to do a very special thing, unique to him and fitted to his talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds him unprepared or unqualified for that which would be his finest hour.
I have always loved that quote but if I’m honest, I had never felt it resonate at a visceral level before. That changed this past weekend when I found myself protecting a woman from the constant unrelenting and unwanted advances of a drunken redneck scumbag.
Suddenly the depth of Churchill’s words hit me like a ton of bricks. I realized that we have been truly trapped and led astray by modern society which whispers sweet lies to us. It tells us to go ahead, be weak. Nothing bad will happen. Be passive and weak! What’s the worst that could happen? Be docile and turn away. Don’t you know? Aggression is wrong and for bad people! Be more feminine and…
That’s when I really, really saw it! I saw the monster that is modern society! We have been so charmed and deluded that we are ready for nothing! It was in this instant that I realized something terrible.When we stop training to fight or to respond to a disaster, what we are really saying is that we have given up and what we have is available to anyone willing to take it from us.
Think about that for a moment. Are you so blinded that you think the rest of your so-called life is more important than physically defending your life, liberty, property and pursuit of happiness? If so, you need a very swift spiritual kick to the head. There are a growing number of people out there who refuse to play by the rules of our society and you’re going to have to fight or surrender. And suddenly I am struck dumb by the words of President Ronald Reagan in his famous ‘We must fight’ speech:
The truly beautiful thing about that speech is that while he is speaking in terms of a nation, he is also adhering to a concept presented by Sun Tzu, that the macro applies to the micro, and the micro to the macro. We as individuals can have peace in the next second if we surrender, become fat, out of shape, cucked and weak in every sense. But that is a coward’s life, and remember, a coward dies a thousand deaths before he dies. America is a nation built upon self-reliance and readiness.
It’s high time we all got fit to fight because things are going to get much worse before they get better. And honestly, if I need to fight some drunken retard to keep him from assaulting a woman, I’d like that to be as one-sided as possible.
The Highland System of Combat & Survival is a manual of arms for training soldiers and armed professionals. It’s a complete set of concepts, skills, and training components to enhance one’s life and performance, especially in combat. Acquiring these skills, understanding the concepts and using the training components is the fastest and most effective way to improve the function of all twelve systems of our body and optimize all four levels of human ability; thus becoming the best version of yourself for life, sport or combat.
The key principle of The System is individual optimization. The goal is to ensure that training provides consistent improvement without harming you and that your psychological disposition doesn’t damage the body and psyche of you or your team. The system is designed to strengthen your mind, body, spirit and tactical capabilities to create a fully developed and highly capable person regardless of the task at hand (especially combat).
The System teaches you to understand and improve yourself as well as your family, community, state and nation. Knowing your strengths and weaknesses is good, but not fully sufficient. Training in The System is one of the sure ways to discover the full extent of your limitations and properly address them. Proper training in The System carries the objective of placing every person into the best possible setting to rapidly improve performance in every aspect at a rate that he/she is able to handle at that moment. In a simple and comprehensive way, The System helps you and guides you to become the very best version of yourself, far beyond any previous level of accomplishment.
By applying a carefully crafted blend of medical and sports sciences, The System is used to dramatically enhance the capability, capacity, technical skill level and resiliency of special operations troops and citizen-soldiers alike. The system is designed to always enhance and evolve these characteristics so that when the extraordinary occurs, you are able to draw from almost unlimited reserves and recover quickly and fully from the event(s). This has the effect of preserving the quality of life of the soldier, preserving families, extending the soldier’s service life, increasing combat effectiveness at all levels and ages, saving billions of dollars in medical treatment, and providing the nation with the highest level of capability possible. The Highland System is a new level of martial excellence for those who dare to be held to a higher standard.
