| Sounds like a scam! It says to send $10 for an application. I'd say this is either a scam, a joke, or a cult. Either way its nothing worth looking into. |

Send $10 money order to START the application process. Have to be very careful of the something for nothing scams.

I would like to know who the founder, instructors, and financial supporters of this place are. It seems to me like they are trying to generate a stable of full contact fighters for whatever reasons, but they dont seem to be very forthcoming with information, except the repetitive testosterone-laden rhetoric in the site. I would steer clear of these guys for the simple reason that they are using the male ego against applicants and antagonizing them. They talk about how tough the training is,and how they will make you tough, it is a control tactic used to draw people with low self-esteem and poor self-image to their place. This is because these people are more accepting of authority, more likely to be compliant to the rules, and in general, easier to mold into what the leaders of the organization want. I don't know if this is a cult, but it does sound like the people running this organization will demand a high level of submission on the part of the student. Seems kind of dangerous to me.

I know, I don't get a positive feeling about it, either.
