Who We Are
Conflict Science is not a martial art or any particular style. We are a group of dedicated warriors who live the passion of discovering how to survive real life scenarios, either through experiences "out in the field" or by hardcore pressure testing scenarios in our congruent training. Our survival & fight prevailing methodology has been proven functional over many decades of real life experiences. We have learned to navigate through the chaos by continually training attacks in real-time and working against when things go can wrong!
We are always evolving and pushing the limits to keep it real as the world changes.
About us
Conflict science is based on over 4 decades of proven “in the field”, tactics and methodologies that has saved many lives over the years, especially in the violent streets of South Africa, headed by tactical specialist Mark Human.
The tactics and content in the Blade Survival videos have been taught and utilised by Law Enforcement, Special Forces, Military, Security, Martial artists, and Civilians around the world. Conflict Science Online tutorial videos have been constructed by the founder Andy Elliott of Australia. The Blade Survival series is dedication of my life’s journey from working in rough terrains, experiencing many volatile situations and years of training with experts from around the world to discover what really works against edged weapons. To find the truth, it has to be proven functional by proven facts! Unjustified opinions will most likely fail. The videos give you the core fundamentals you need to survive against varied blade attacks and holdups.
This video series is a must for everyone to help educate you to enhance life-saving skills.
How YOU Will Benefit from Conflict Science
Conflict Science videos are available for the public as an educational guide to help you understand how to counter a blade attack and help you survive, help save your life and your family and loved ones. The videos are not Martial Arts or any particular style. They are based on proven scenario based training and real life experiences, providing a framework to survive the chaos of an attack as you need to instinctively know how to be prepared to defend yourself and understand the consequences of your actions. There are "850+ videos" covering 9 different Training Modules.
Why YOU Should Invest in Conflict Science
Most importantly - to save your life or maybe a loved one! You only need to be attacked once in your lifetime for it to cause devastating results or outcome. No one is exempt from crime or violence. If you have never had any previous experience or any knowledge of what to do in the case of an attack, then your chances of surviving and becoming a victim or even worse a statistic is unfortunately very high. These videos protect your most important asset - YOU!
You most likely have house & car insurance, then why not Personal Safety Insurance.

Modules
BLADE SURVIVAL SERIES
I have never seen the information on Blade Survival and training that I will be releasing for the public. It is years and years of hardcore training to prove what is actually functional.
It is not the usual misleading martial arts, feel good techniques that you usually see on video by instructors who really have no idea of reality by not seriously pressure testing.
The video series covers the initial attack that you must be able to counter to be able to survive!
You have the opportunity to purchase & learn.
This video series could save your life!
104 BLADE SURVIVAL SERIES VIDEOS
PRESENTED IN 4 VITAL SECTIONS
EMPTY HAND VS BLADE ATTACKS
38 VIDEOS
A blade or edged weapon is the most complex and intricate weapon that one can face! Slashes are stabs with a blade will most likely be fatal & the margin for error & surviving is absolute minimum. It is extremely different to fighting. The results can be determined by millimetres & milliseconds. The human body has 7 anatomical targets that a blade can cause severe outcomes to - distraction targets, vascular, nervous system, structural, organs, oxygen and muscular. The video series cover the correct structures, pressures, movements and angles to survive. Again, it is completely different to empty hand fighting!
BLADE HOLD UPS
20 VIDEOS
With a hold up, if you seriously think your life is in jeopardy, or you may need to act immediately because a loved one is being taken away or being attacked for example.
Also you definitely do not want to be taken away to a second location, most likely you won't be coming back!
The video series demonstrate the various ways to survive a hold up from all different angles - Front, Side and Rear.
One reason why we can counter a hold up is that the blade is stationary and you know exactly where it is. Another proven fact is if you move first at close range, especially with a distraction, you have the advantage.
BLADE DISARMS
10 VIDEOS
Disarms are an extremely opportunistic and dangerous! You should never attempt any disarms, without seriously diminishing the attacker first. Circumstances will dictate the opportunity, but there are so many things that can go wrong. Loss of motor skills through fear & adrenalin, slippery with blood, attackers is too strong, no knowledge of previous congruent training etc.
The video series demonstrates how it is possible to achieve disarms with utilising the environment, smashing it out of their hand and the necessary grips required to be able to safely release or leverage a blade out of an attackers hand. The empty hand vs blade videos give you a great insight how to get to a possible position to have that opportunity.
BLADE TRAINING
36 VIDEOS
To fully understand how to survive against a blade, I believe you must know how to train with a blade & learn all the different parts of a blade & the devastation of what a blade can do to you! Blade work can be brutally simple and infinitely complex. If you are prioritising &/or framing for a specific scenario it's easy to learn and own a simple effective mindset & a set of skills in a short period of time. A few simple concepts can make you dangerous, but to dominate the chaos of edged weapon attacks, that's a lifetime! It is a commitment or more accurately an obsession. “A big difference between an edge weapon system & edge weapon framework”. This video series demonstrates the core fundamentals required to prepare you for the properties of a blade - striking & countering. Utilising peripheral vision and how to start becoming subconsciously competent. This is a great start but it takes serious amount of committed training to get the real life skills.

Testimonials
Captain Kaustav Nath - India
I first heard about Andy Elliott through my Kyokushin Karate Senior, Sensei Raja Mookherjee, who was hosting Andy’s Stick and Knife Fighting workshop at Navi Mumbai, India. I was a visitor and my wife was training under him. I was floored by what I saw. This was tactical and practical fighting, which is what is needed on a daily basis in the streets. Since then, I have become a fan and an ardent follower of Andy Elliott. He is a world class and highly skilled International Combat Instructor. He has attained his skillset over many years through real life experiences, while training and teaching around the world in 30 countries. He is an edged weapon expert and also an Internationally certified and recognised Filipino Combatives Grand Master. I very strongly feel that his online videos would be of great benefit to all, proven functional videos that have not been presented in the martial arts world. A must for anyone who seriously wants to learn how to survive & protect themselves & their loved ones from blade attacks as well as an awesome insight into the benefits of Filipino Combatives in how the weapons transition to the same empty hand moves.
