LDLP Update

The LDLP has been a much bigger success than we ever could have imagined! We now have people studying with us via this program all over the United States and in five other countries.

Unfortunately, Youtube will only allow us to share "private" videos with 25 people. We have reached the 25 person limit and this cycle of the LDLP Apprentice Level is now full — That's the bad news.

The good news is that we next cycle of the LDLP Apprentice Level will be starting in six weeks. We are scheduled to start the next cycle of the Apprentice Level in mid-september, so secure your spot now! Just sent us an e-mail at librefighting@yahoo.com and ask to be put on the Waiting List. When the next cycle is ready to start will will contact you with all the information.

Those participating in the Apprentice Level now, will be eligible to move on to the LDLP Fighter Level when this current cycle concludes.

Piper System Seminar Tour 2010

It looks like our friends at Piper System are finally bringing Piper to the USA! Look for them at a town near you in March of 2010. There are many possible locations being discussed, but Missouri looks like it is definitely locked in. I will post updates regarding times, dates, and locations as the information becomes available. If you are interested in hosting the Piper guys you can reach them through their website http://www.pipersystem.com

Thank You

We just wanted to say "thank you" to everyone who signed up for the Apprentice Level of the distance program. The response was MUCH BIGGER than anything we expected!

We are going to start production on the LDLP — Fighter Level next week, and it should be up and running in 8 weeks (at the conclusion of the Apprentice Program.) Since the basics fundamentals will have been established in the Apprentice Level, the Fighter Level will move much faster, each lesson containing more material.

Keep an eye on this blog for further updates.

LDLP is up and running!

First off, let me apologize for not yet responding to so many e-mails. We’ve been really busy filming and editing for the Libre Distance Learning Program (LDLP), and I’ve fallen behind in my correspondence.

However, the Libre Distance Learning Program is now LIVE! Hopefully I can answer all the questions I’ve been getting in the message.

What you will need:

1) A TRAINING knife. (DO NOT use a real knife when TRAINING!) Training knives are made out of wood or aluminum and are dull. Again, DO NOT use a real knife when training! Even if you are training alone!

2) Some way of videotaping yourself.

How to join the LDLP: Log into your youtube account, and go to http://www.youtube.com/libredistance. Click “+ Friend” button at the top left-hand side of the page. That’s it! Shortly after joining you will receive the “Lesson One” video.

To find the lesson videos, click on the envelope icon at the top of your main page. The lesson videos will appear in the “Shared with You” section. Please carefully read the description of each video located in the upper right-hand corner of the video page.

Pricing and structure: The structure will be as follows—

Apprentice Level
Fighter Level
Disciple Level
Trainer Level

The apprentice level is FREE, with no obligations to continue. The additional three levels will run $25.00/each. However, to be certified as a "Trainer", you will need to do a one on one three-hour class with myself or one of my Trainers. This is to fine-tune your skills. You can travel to San Diego, or bring us out to you. The cost will be $100.00/hour if you come to San Diego, or $150.00/hour plus travel expenses if we come to you. When you consider that the entire program will cost as little as $375.00, we feel that this is actually quite a bargain.

We encourage you to have a training partner to work the material with if at all possible. You may add ONE additional person to your account at NO COST, who will also be certified.

There will be no contracts required, so if at any point you want to discontinue your training there will be no further obligation.

These rates WILL GO UP, in time. Because this is a pilot program, we are offering it at a lower rate while we test it out. But, IF YOU SIGN UP NOW, YOU WILL BE LOCKED IN AT THESE AFFORDABLE RATES!

About the Apprentice Level: The LDLP Apprentice Level is a ten-week course. You will receive one video each week. After working the material, you will send a video of yourself back to us for feedback. The LDLP is an interactive program! We don’t just send you videos and expect you to work it out on your own. We are here to answer questions and give you feedback. So if you ever have any questions about the material, just send us an e-mail.

When sending us your return videos, it is best to post them on your Youtube account. Please set them to “Private” then “Share” them with “Libredistance.” If this is not an option, you can mail them to us on a DVD.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION!

What Are People Saying About Libre Fighting?

There are some comments about Libre Fighting, coming from various sources. I'd like to thank everyone who has taken the time to give us such great feedback. It really means a lot to all of us....
__________________________________________________

I have been involved in Martial Arts training for over 27 years. During this time, I’ve had the unique opportunity to train with top combatives instructors from around the world; in both civilian and private security work. It is within this context and without reservation that I fully endorse Mr. Scott Babb and the Libre Fighting System.

Mr. Babb is a unique professional, who has attained the elite level as a Fighter, Technician and Teacher. And as for the Libre Fighting System; you will be hard pressed to find another martial art that’s training methodology is more precise, calculated and executed.

Mr. Babb and the Libre Fighting System are extoardinary in that they are equally at home developing civilians, vip security or military personnel. With dedicated practice, it can and will help any individual become much safer in a violent world. And in the final analysis that is what our training is suppposed to do.

If you have the opportunity to train with Mr. Scott Babb; do it.

Libre Distance Update

Just an update on the Libre Distance Learning Program (LDLP).

We have had a lot of inquires ever since we proposed the idea of doing a Distance Learning Program. So we are getting ready to launch!

The LDLP—Apprentice Level is set to go live in about two weeks. Instructional videos will be placed on a private YouTube account for participants. To participate, you will need a YouTube account of your own (which is free), and some means of videotaping yourself for feedback. Feedback videos can be posted on YouTube, or mailed to the Libre Fighting Academy on a DVD.

Because this is a pilot program, we are offering the LDLP—Apprentice Level for FREE, with NO FURTHER OBLIGATIONS! You can try our Distance Learning Program out at NO COST, to see if it is right for you. We will give you access to all of the Apprentice Level videos, AND give you feedback on your progress at NO CHARGE. Once you have shown satisfactory skill in all of the required skills, you will be ranked as a graduate of the Apprentice Level program, and will be eligible to continue your training all the way up to the Trainer Levels, where you will be certified to train others in discipline of Libre Fighting.

If you choose to continue your training beyond the Apprentice Level, there will be a small fee for each additional level.

Look for more information to come in about two weeks!

New Black Belt



After the grueling 2 1/2 hour Empty Hand Foundation Certification Test, the Libre Fighting Academy is proud to award Victoria Rhodes the rank of Black Belt. This is not a rank our school awards lightly, only the most dedicated and skilled individuals ever reach this level.

Kinamutai


This is a photo of a 230lbs mans arm. The bruises were administered by a woman who is half his size, using techniques from kinamutai — the art of Filipino pinching and biting. Kinamutai is taught at the advanced levels here at the Libre Fighting
Academy.
