Private Training

One-on-one and small groups, scheduled around the student. Flexible times, direct feedback, and a choice of coaches. Core arts are Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, kickboxing, and Kali. Private hours also cover systems the group classes do not.

Civilian Tactics (C-Tac)

A self-defense system built around awareness, legal responsibility, and practical action. Spot danger early, de-escalate, and use force only when it is necessary. Shielding and posture, tight spaces including vehicles, grappling, and everyday-carry tools are part of the work.
