When we assumed the soldier, we did not lay aside the citizen
                                    -George Washington 1775

Ever hear that "Taekwondo" is only a sport, that it is useless in a real fight. Ever hear one martial artist or another make the claim that he or she teaches a "real" fighting style because he or she uses "realistic" training.

How realistic can they be? To have realistic training, you would have to include bare knuckle, full-contact punches, full-power kicks, bites, spitting, head butts, eye gouges, cuts, slices, stabs, budging, firearms fired at your, etc. No martial arts schools train this way and most people would not want to train this way. Not even elite, combat units, such as Navy Seals, Army Airborne, Marine Recon, etc., train this way, and they have to be ready to fight to the death on a moment’s notice as a part of their duty.

Do you want to be a killing machine, walking the streets waiting for an opportunity to kill? Do you want killing machines walking around your community? I think not on both questions! Citizens want to feel they can protect themselves and loved ones when required, but otherwise they want to lead productive, fulfilled, peaceful lives.

Do the spouses and families of Seal team members live in daily fear that their loved ones will suddenly kill them in a moment uncontrolled anger? No! They do not. Why not? How are professional soldiers able to function as ordinary citizens? How do you train for a real fight or a fight to the death in a way that will also permit you to be a loving spouse and parent and a productive citizen until the need arises? It is accomplished by using the concept of binary training. The binary concept relates to two separate, relatively harmless entities that, when combined, create a third deadly entity.

Many military chemical weapons are binary. Each part of the two parts of the weapon is harmless, but, when the two parts combined, they form a deadly mixture. The atomic bomb is binary. A critical mass is halved and the halves are kept separate. Other than their limited-range radiation, they are harmless. However, when forced together by a powerful conventional explosion, they create one of the most destructive forces known to man.
