March 2026 – Dave Hutchinson of Integrated Fighting Arts brings CROWD SURVIVAL to NYC!
IFA instructor David Hutchinson will be leading a 4 hour seminar covering techniques and tactics that can help increase your survivability in a chaotic mob or group attack scenario. Integrated Fighting Arts operates a Self Defense program in Asheville called Stand Alone Self Protection. It is our signature program for developing real world skills and the fitness to carry them. The program will train you in striking, grappling, weapons defenses and threat assessment/de-escalation.
Although fighting skills can and should be employed when trying to escape a riot, gang attack or protest environment turned ugly, they are NOT sustainable as a means of prevailing and going home in one piece. The main focus of this class is ESCAPE, and we will be looking at pre-contact social cues and verbal techniques we can use as a frontline defense. We will practice simple combatives in both striking and grappling modalities that can be utilized with an extremely raised heart rate and de-mobilizing adrenaline dump working against us. Most importantly we will learn how to get up off the ground, push through crowds, negotiate space from multiple assailants and seek outside help in an efficient and effective manner.
This event will take place on Sunday March 1st, 2pm, at Hinds Combat Midtown West – 360 W. 36th St
