Gracie Combatives®, is our adult beginner program for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Learn the 36 core techniques in a fun, safe, and cooperative environment. Each one-hour class covers a standing and a ground self-defense technique, broken down into simplified drills for easy learning. You can start the program at any time and participate in any class without previous experience!
In ALIVE!™ Combatives, we focus on practical knife and firearms training, along with essential empty-hand techniques for real-world scenarios. All while using a contextual training methodology that builds skill fast, ALIVE!™ asserts that to learn to fight effectively one must fight an “alive” opponent early and often in training. It's a highly effective program suitable for both men and women, no experience needed!
The first week of every month is our ALIVE! Gunfighting week!
There is more to gunfighting than just standing on a range punching holes on paper. The first week of every month as part of our ALIVE! Combatives class, is spent working with firearms. Using SIRT laser trainers, Airsoft, and even UTM Sim rounds you will get plenty of trigger time working with and around firearms. Check out our ALIVE!™ Combatives page for more information on this exciting program.
Combat Sambo is a versatile martial art and combat sport that fuses judo and wrestling. It encompasses ground fighting, throws, and submission holds, alongside standing techniques like punches, kicks, knee strikes, and elbow strikes. Incorporating a dynamic blend of grappling and striking techniques, Combat Sambo offers practitioners a well-rounded skill set that seamlessly integrates both ground and stand-up combat scenarios.
Basic Firearms Courses
MOST RECOMMENDED FOR BEGINNERS
This firearms course is much more laid back and a less formal class compared to the National Rifle Association NRA courses. Think of it as more of a advised trip to the range than a formal class. We will go over safe firearm handling and usage. Also most of our time will be spent shooting than in a classroom discussing. The level of instruction will be based off of the experience and skill of the students. It could be as simple trip to the range or something much more in depth. Accessing, movement, barricades, and the like are general not covered. You do not get a certificate for this "course" but if we end up at a match you might win an award. Generally ages 10 and up.
This class is what we recommend most of our new students do. It could be as cheap as a box of ammo and its over all more laid back, can be a private or group class and much less formal than the NRA courses.
