What is Four Pillars Online Training?
A private online training library built around the Four Pillars Combatives self-defense curriculum. Members can follow lessons and track their progress.
What does my membership include?
Access to the five-section core curriculum, the Eskrima and MMA collections, and future core lessons. Private lessons, seminars, and in-person training are separate.
What does beta mean?
Founding Members join during the early development of the platform. Courses and features will be added over time. Specific release dates are not guaranteed.
Is there a monthly fee?
Founding Lifetime Membership is a one-time purchase with no recurring fees. The price rises at each successive founding tier. Once lifetime enrollment ends, a $35/month subscription is planned for new students. Existing lifetime members never need to subscribe to keep their access.
Is a private member community included?
Yes. Your paid Online Training membership includes our members-only community on this website, with forums, member groups, challenges, and discussion features. An optional Facebook group may also be offered separately.
What does lifetime access mean?
Access to the core online library, including future core updates, for as long as Four Pillars Combatives operates the platform.
When do I get access?
After your one-time purchase is confirmed, you can sign in to your student dashboard. Your membership also covers new core lessons as they are released.
What does VIP Founding Membership include?
VIP includes everything in the standard lifetime core training membership plus four 60-minute online coaching sessions (to be used within 12 months of purchase), personalized training guidance, quarterly VIP written Q&A discussion threads for 24 months, priority booking subject to availability, a 10% discount on eligible in-person seminars and a permanent VIP Founding Member badge and access to the members-only VIP Lounge and VIP Written Q&A forum. Sessions are requested through our contact page and scheduled by mutual availability. VIP founding enrollment is limited and prices increase at later VIP tiers.
How does VIP-only written Q&A work?
Verified VIP members can use the exclusive VIP Written Q&A forum in their online member community. Quarterly text-based question threads and the instructor's written answers remain available to members. No camera, live video, or Zoom call is required. The written Q&A submission benefit lasts 24 months after VIP enrollment.
Is this training beginner-friendly?
Yes. Four Pillars Combatives Online Training is designed for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. Lessons start with fundamental concepts and progressively build toward more advanced skills. No prior martial arts, self-defense, or firearms experience is required.
How do I get started?
Explore the curriculum and create a free student account. Creating an account does not reserve a paid membership or unlock paid lessons; any lessons marked free for registered students will be available to you. Founding Lifetime Membership purchases are available when enrollment is open, at the current tier price. Prices increase with later tiers.
Are purchases refundable?
The Founding Membership is a one-time purchase that provides lifetime access to the core online training library, including future additions. All purchases are final. If you have questions about the membership or what is included during beta access, please contact us before purchasing.
