Michael Johnson’s prolific career, spanning training thousands of officers to elite military units, solidified his core belief:
A resilient mindset is key. The mind propels the body past its perceived limits.
We work with high-frequency individuals. This training is for those in pursuit of excellence. It’s for people who want to dominate in all areas of life.
If you want to make excuses, stay stagnant or complain about your situation without doing anything about it, this is NOT for you.
We’re the Diliji. We win because we’re willing to do what it takes to get to the next level.
Bringing the flesh into submission through physical fitness and executability of tactics.
This isn’t just about fighting in a cage or in the boxing ring. It’s about real-world conflict.
Whether that be a car-jacking, home-invasion, boardroom battles, or struggles with your spouse, you must train like everything depends on it.
Michael C. Johnson embarked on his martial arts journey at the age of 2 and later established Shockwave Defense™, where he developed “Bellicusology” – a unique methodology blending martial arts, behavioral psychology, criminology and life philosophy.
