We specialize in training civilians/executives who are high profile/risk targets; school emergency violence response training and safety instruction for administrators, teachers, and staff; MIL/LEO/CO/Border Patrol and other federal agencies in the use of our C.R.A.S.H.(tm) System, a hybrid combatives system. We teach elite military-grade self-protection in a cutting edge format to ensure rapid assimilation and functional application by our students. This is NOT sport based MMA or martial arts. We can teach you how to survive in a matter of hours rather than months or years like a traditional martial arts school. We also have elite, mission/environ specific training for LEO/CO/MIL/Federal Agency personnel facing justified deadly force scenarios including weapons, multiple attacker, confined space scenarios and weapons retention scenarios.
