"The Rapid Assault Tactics (R.A.T.) system is not a martial art—it is a martial science a complete Self Defense System. Developed by Paul Vunak for elite military and law enforcement units, the R.A.T. system was designed to take an individual and make them combat-effective in the shortest time possible. At Boynton Beach Martial Arts Academy, we teach the pure, uncut version of this Street Survival System."
"In a real-world encounter, you don't have time for a 'sparring match' or fancy complicated techniques. Our training focuses on the three critical phases of an engagement:
1: THE ENTRY
We utilize the "Science of the Intercept" to close the gap. By using an interception or destruction of the limb, we neutralize the threat's initial attack and gain the tactical advantage before they can reset.
2: THE PRESSURE
Once inside, we apply the Straight Blast down the center line. This high-frequency forward momentum destroys the opponent’s balance and sensory input, forcing them into a purely defensive, "frozen" state.
3: TERMINATION
The most vicious stage. We resolve the encounter immediately using the H.K.E. Series (Headbutts, Knees, and Elbows). These are the high-impact "Power Tools" designed for surgical termination of a real-world threat.

Utilizing the "Science of the Intercept or destroy" to neutralize the attack. We focus on closing the gap safely using the Straight Lead and intercepting the opponent’s momentum.
Utilizing the "Straight Blast" down the Center Line to overwhelm the opponent's sensory input. This high-frequency forward pressure forces the threat into a defensive posture, clearing the way for the H.K.E. (Head-butt, Knee, Elbow) series.
This is the most vicious stage of the encounter. Once the Straight Blast has compromised the opponent’s balance and sensory input, we move to Termination. This utilizes Headbutts, Knees, and Elbows—the most devastating close-quarter tools available to the human body—to end the threat immediately and decisively.
