About Fort Worth Combatives
Welcome to Fort Worth Combatives
Welcome to Fort Worth Combatives, a premier destination in North Texas for practical martial arts, real-world self-defense, weapons training, and life-saving preparedness skills. We are the Fort Worth chapter of the Central Texas Combatives Training Group (CTCTG) and an independently owned and operated Certified Gracie Jiu-Jitsu® Training Center serving civilians, first responders, military personnel, and anyone committed to improving their confidence and capability under pressure.
What sets us apart is our context-driven methodology — a blend of traditional martial arts, military combatives, and practical weapon systems training that prioritizes application under real conditions, not rote memorization or rigid sport forms. Our classes are structured to help you develop skills that work when they matter most: self-defense, situational awareness, and the ability to make smart, confident decisions under stress.
