WHY FOUR PILLARS COMBATIVES?

Self-defense starts before the fight.

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.

Practical priorities

Awareness, contact management, empty-hand skills, and weapons considerations are taught as parts of one self-defense approach.

Experienced instruction

Led by Mark, who has trained in martial arts since 1996 and brings experience in MMA, Eskrima, military service, security, and corrections.

Your own pace

Watch lessons, review concepts, and practice appropriate drills safely between supervised sessions.

THE CURRICULUM

Training built around survival.

Organized learning, from early threat recognition to fighting and getting away when avoidance is no longer possible.

01 / AWARENESS

Situational Awareness

Recognize potential threats, understand your surroundings, manage contact and boundaries, and seek an exit before violence.

02 / EMPTY HAND

Empty-Hand Fighting

Striking, clinch, grappling, and ground survival with escape as the goal. WBE addresses close-range grappling when weapons may be present.

03 / WEAPONS

Weapons Fighting

Recognize armed threats, understand weapon access and retention, and make lawful defensive decisions. WBE also connects this section to the clinch and ground.

04 / ATTRIBUTES

Fitness & Attributes Training

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.
