Situational Awareness
Recognize potential threats, understand your surroundings, manage contact and boundaries, and seek an exit before violence.
FOUR PILLARSCOMBATIVES · ONLINE TRAINING
Learn to recognize threats, manage confrontations, and develop practical defensive skills. We combine awareness, striking, grappling, weapons considerations, and fitness to help you get home safely—not simply win a fight under sport rules.
One-time Founding Membership. No monthly payments. Enrollment opens when the first lessons and checkout are ready.
Lifetime access. The core self-defense curriculum and future core lessons are included as they are released. One payment; no monthly dues.
Combat sports teach you to compete within a set of rules. Self-defense begins with recognizing trouble early, avoiding it where possible, managing contact, and escaping when you safely can. When physical defense becomes necessary, effective skills matter.
Awareness, contact management, empty-hand skills, and weapons considerations are taught as parts of one self-defense approach.
Led by Mark, who has trained in martial arts since 1996 and brings experience in MMA, Eskrima, military service, security, and corrections.
Watch lessons, review concepts, and practice appropriate drills safely between supervised sessions.
Organized learning, from early threat recognition to fighting and getting away when avoidance is no longer possible.
Recognize potential threats, understand your surroundings, manage contact and boundaries, and seek an exit before violence.
Striking, clinch, grappling, and ground survival with escape as the goal. WBE addresses close-range grappling when weapons may be present.
Recognize armed threats, understand weapon access and retention, and make lawful defensive decisions. WBE also connects this section to the clinch and ground.
Develop strength, power, endurance, mobility, timing, and resilience for practical performance.
Weapons-Based Entanglement (WBE) is part of the self-defense curriculum, within Sections 2 and 3. It is not a fifth section or separate program. Eskrima and MMA are supplemental training collections, added as lessons become available.
We show the published lessons before enrollment opens so you know what training is ready now, not just what is planned.
