Realistic Self Defense and Martial Arts

Fort Worth Combatives is a realistic martial arts, self defense, firearms, first aid and trauma training organization based in Fort Worth Texas. What separates us from the rest is that we have integrated the very best of traditional martial arts, along with military combatives and weapon training, with a realistic context driven methodology that builds self defense skills fast.
We are located inside Texas Defense Academy.

Weeknight Self Defense Classes

Our Gracie Combatives is our program for adults that focuses primarily on the ground. Statistics show that the majority of all fights end up on the ground, so here you will learn how to defend against nearly 40 of the most common situations! No experience necessary!
Our ALIVE!™ Combatives class focuses primarily on knife and firearms training, with a good dose of empty hand training as well, all based around the seven most common situations you may encounter. 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. In a state where knives and firearms are not only common but constitutional, learn how to be effective with and against them. This class is highly effective for both men and women.
