As you can see from the video above, this type of training has no
time for belts, ranks or political B.S. that only gets in the way of
student's actual learning! This 'system' (if that's what you wish to
refer to it as) was simply a concept taught by Mr. Holloway originally
in Australia. He never had the intention to 'take over the world' so to
speak but gained international recognition when traveled and taught
ending up making appearances in the media (network & cable T.V.,
Newspapers and Magazines). To this date Raw Combat has spread out to 24
countries world wide and this has all been by request simply from like
minded people who live in the real world who appreciate the importance
of training in self protection and training such as Luke Holloway's.
Although
Luke's background is mainly in south east asian arts such as Silat,
Muay Thai, Gongfu & Taiji he is refusing to 'associate' or be
'under' other groups as in his travels he has experienced absolutely
unnecessary politics which were always money or ego orientated. Again,
the 'style' or 'system' was simply a concept Luke was sharing in
Australia and never meant to become this 'global'. However due to
consistent demand the Australian Tactical Fighting Method of Raw Combat
International has become exactly that.
Luke's reasons for referring to this as an 'Australian' method is simple.. An example he uses is 'Look at when I put up a Silat video and a thousand kids sit there and argue over the origins.. weather it's Indonesian or Malaysian! When someone is tryin' to shank the shit outta ya it doesn't really matter much now does it!?' His commonly referred to as 'Not give a fuck' attitude is what he describes as the typical Aussie. Originally he was sharing his methods of Silat, Gong Fu & Taiji in Australia but politics made him very disheartened. Once he developed training methods (again see his page for a list of qualifications which he has decided to list which are non political) for his Security teams in Australia it quickly caught the attention of many others as it was proven on the street time and time again as simple, effective and appropriate. He then also continued to teach Military and Law Enforcement; instead of talking about it as others do he has posted it on youtube so you can make up your own mind.
Luke Holloway's methods involve four elements of combative training; education & training for Civilians, Security, Law Enforcement & Military (Note; He also provide specialist education however due to the nature of the contracts much information is kept confidential.) Again, his biggest influences have come from his work with Security & Law Enforcement.
