What is DAIP Self-Defence?

To survive years of street fights in Syria against multiple attackers, I stopped following styles, sets, traditions, and rules long ago and started trusting my instinct.

DAIP is an instinctive self-defence method that I developed between 2005 and 2023. DAIP is not a self-defence style. It is a way of thinking about defence. It’s for those who use their bodies as weapons in danger.

It is rooted in the Playing State Philosophy, which allowed me to form these 2 key elements that set DAIP apart:
1- Instinct-first, not technique-first.
2- Uses many arts, belongs to none.

🟢 Public Definition: Defence Awareness Instinctive Practice.

🔒 Practitioner Definition: A precise framework known only to those who walk the inner path of the method.

DAIP was not born in a dojo or under a belt — it was born in real danger.

A method shaped by street fights, not by sport.

It does not teach you to win points — it teaches you to survive. While it draws from Jet Kune Do, Aikido, Jujutsu, boxing, street fighting, and more — strikes, locks, redirections, takedowns, evasion —

its purpose is not to master techniques, but to master response.

In DAIP, we do not memorize 20 moves — we train one clear reaction.

Anything that slows down instinct is removed. Anything that does not protect is useless.

We do not perform self-defense — We sense, and act with clarity.

Is DAIP workshop right for You? To find out, answering these questions will help:

• Do you (or your group) want to feel confident in crowded, unpredictable places?

• Would learning how to defend instinctively — without memorizing forms — be useful?

• Could understanding your body’s weight and direction help in real-life situations?

• Do you want a training style that includes movement from multiple martial arts, but stays free of dogma?

• Are you looking for self-defence that actually works — for kids, teens, and adults alike?

If you felt connected to one or more of these questions, then the DAIP workshop is designed for you.
