Pure Reality Based Self Defence (RBSD) is what the general public learn, where we teach you to deal with the physiology and psychology of real violence. Learning skills to deal with real life self defence situations.

PURE RBSD is based on what MDTA call the F.A.C.T.S and more importantly, looks at not only the physical aspects of self-preservation and self-protection, but the legal side to self-defence as a civilian. Although we have a belt system in PURE MDTA it is not the same as a traditional martial arts ranking system. However, it is a level or grade to show your progress in areas of reality-based self-defence training. Many may not see the need for belts, but with our system, it is about giving you a goal to aim for and for you and others to know where you are at. We don't aim for belts; we aim for personal development.

PURE RBSD is simply that, pure reality-based self-defence. There are no traditional forms (kata) like a traditional martial art, there are no formalities like bowing, and there is no need to learn another language for training purposes.
