1. What is CTE?
Ans: CTE (Control, Takedown & Escape) is a revolutionary, split-second
personal protection system, that won’t leave you fighting. top
2. What is CTE’s method?
Ans:
CTE’s method is based more in awareness skills than in technical
skills and techniques. Awareness of your surroundings, posturing and positioning,
will allow you to assess the situation and take action according to your
own situation. This is preferable to having to respond to a hostile situation,
especially if you are with your family and loved ones. However, we realize
that situations can escalate quickly. That is where CTE’s revolutionary
split-second techniques will allow you to takedown an assailant, if necessary,
with minimal risk to you and your loved ones with you. top
3. How did CTE originate?
Ans: 26 years in development, CTE originated through the extreme efforts
of Dr. /Grandmaster Shay. Through his own studies of the martial arts,
he realized that every style had its own faults and flaws. Through his
own studies of the physics of the human body, the neurological responses
of the human mind, coupled with his medical knowledge of the human body,
using a scientific approach, he was able to develop techniques that will
incapacitate some one before their mind has a chance to process what is
happening and to respond. top
4. What makes CTE different from other
personal protection systems?
Ans: CTE is fun, easy to learn, and more effective
with less training than other systems. CTE is the only system that uses
natural body positions that don’t require muscular strength, youthful
speed, or excessive training for co-ordination or reaction times. top
5. What is the advantage of CTE over other martial arts and fighting system?
Ans: CTE takes into account that not everybody is created equal, or has
the time to spend training hours a day to improve on skills, speed, and
strength. CTE gives the advantages back to you. CTE does not teach you
to overcome any opponent through strength or speed. This is something
that other systems promise, but do not deliver.
6. Why should I learn CTE instead of martial arts or other
fighting system?
Ans: Unlike in these fighting systems (remember
CTE is NOT fighting) in which you need to be stronger, faster, or have
a better day than your opponent and which require months, if not years,
of training to become proficient , CTE can be applied simply, and effectively
after just the first seminar. This is due to our revolutionary thought
and theory, which changes your own view point towards “fighting.”
7. Why is CTE so easy and fun to learn?
Ans: CTE has been designed from the start to be simple and effective.
We teach from a “Why???” system. If you don’t understand,
ask us “Why???” We will be glad to explain it to you. In this
manner, you have a full understanding of not only what you are doing,
but WHY you are doing it and WHY it is better and more effective. top
8. Why CTE can be quickly learned and effectively applied after
only one seminar?
Ans: CTE from the start had to be simple and effective
so that ANYONE could use it. CTE was designed so that through positioning
and posturing, women could escape a male attacker, through awareness,
older men could avoid, and steer their families away from, a group of
younger men bend on trouble. CTE also had to be simple so that in a life-threatening
situation, it could be applied using basic human movement and to take
advantage of natural body responses. top
9. What about CTE vs. armed attackers?
Ans: CTE Weapons Disarmament seminar addresses this issue specifically.
In any armed vs. unarmed situation, the armed has a distinct advantage.
However, it also has very distinct and limiting disadvantages! CTE will
show you what these are and how to use them to protect yourself and escape
the situation. top
10. Why should someone use hands-on techniques if they are equipped with
deterrent weapons such as chemical irritants or handguns?
Ans: Great question!!! Simple answer. Two things:
One, the situation may develop too quickly to allow you to effectively
and safely deploy such weapons. Two, the legal issues associated with
deploying such weapons. CTE thought and theory, and techniques are designed
to affect your escape and keep you safe with minimal exposure, be that
to the danger presented by your assailant, or to you by your own actions.
You are always responsible for your own actions, and keeping a clear awareness
of the situation and your surroundings will allow you to make better informed
decisions under stress. top
11. Why would CTE be an asset to
Law Enforcement/Private Security?
Ans: CTE’s basic thought and theory principles increase awareness,
posturing and positioning for any situation. CTE techniques, while principally
designed for safely escaping a dangerous situation, can be used to effectively
control and takedown an assailant if necessary, while maintaining awareness
of the situation and the surrounding area. top
12. What makes CTE better than
the basic techniques taught in police and
security academies?
Ans: CTE is not based in fighting systems. Fighting
gets emotional and will cloud your judgment and awareness. This can be
a fatal mistake in that line of work. top
13. Why would CTE be an asset to private citizens?
Ans: Peace of mind. The father in the mall with his family. The mother
waiting to pick up her children after school. Both parents at work while
the children get home from school. There is not a loving parent anywhere
that doesn’t worry over their children’s safety all the time.
Whether that child is a grown adult or an infant, parents will worry.
CTE’s programs from Children’s Aware and Go and Family Home
Protection to the Personal Protection series of seminars, are designed
so that anyone, regardless of age can protect themselves and escape a
life-threatening situation. top
14. Corporations have their own
security teams in their buildings, but what about executive protection?
CTE’s Corporate Risk Management seminar explains
how to set-up safety stations, safe-rooms and an emergency exit plan,
but what makes us different? We also cover in-building day to day movement,
for the executive. How the executive can keep himself safe from his front
door in the morning, to his parking spot, and from there to his office
chair. How he can be forewarned of any developing dangerous situation,
without a tell-tale phone call. top
15. How does the general public view CTE?
Ans: Everyone who has participated in any seminar has been astonished
by our methods. CTE’s thought and theory and the “WHY???” system of teaching has made it extremely easy to understand. While some
have professed that it does take a little work to get right and some practice
to maintain, all have agreed that it is nowhere near the amount required
to keep skills learned in fighting systems. Best of all is that it doesn’t
require you to be strong, or fast to use effectively. top
