What is the IFS?
Years ago I began working on the biomechanics of a sound stance – one that would be the initial stance for not only Pramek, but any martial art.
So, I created our fighting stance – mechanically sound, protects vital parts of the body, and preserves equilibrium.
But, in 2012 – I began to notice that too many different style had too many stances. One for knife, one for club, one for firearm. So, overtime, I began working on integrating different weapons into the stance. Soon, I found that the weapon didn’t matter – it was the deployment of weapons that needed to fit into a stance.
Working through various classes, seminars, and clinics, and working with a variety of instructors – I combined the various weapons into a 90/90 stance – something that would fit 90% of weapons 90% of the time in deployment.
In this video, the first in a year (and the first of many new ones!) myself and Jordan, a Pramek instructor you will be seeing much more of, walk you through the IFS. After a day shooting on the range (don’t worry newsletter subscribers, your video is coming of the range as exclusive video!) we decided to shoot this video.

Yes, there is some wind-noise, that’s the nature of shooting in the desert, but I hope you enjoy the information!
