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!

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.


What class or classes should I choose?


Gracie Combatives Logo
  • Are you new to martial arts?
  • Or maybe you had a bad experience at other "sport style" Jiu-Jitsu schools?
  • Or maybe you are looking for a more cooperative training environment?
  • One that is committed that every new student has an informative, enjoyable experience regardless of age, gender, or athletic ability?

Then our Gracie Combatives program, originally developed for the U.S. Army, might be perfect for you! This is our Gracie Jiu-Jitsu "fundamentals" course and has no competitive sparring, but instead focuses on Reflex Development and Fight Simulation drills to get you "street ready fast!" Check out our Gracie Combatives® page for more information on this exciting program.


Alive! Combatives Logo
  • Are you more interested in learning how to use weapons for self defense, such as knives and firearms?
  • Maybe you are bit less interested or able in getting up-close and rolling around on the ground with someone?

Then ALIVE! Combatives might be for you! Here we use an ultra-functional training methodology that builds skill fast, delivering a single set of blade-based actions to fight with, and against, any weapon and empty hands. Here students will learn how to effectively defend themselves fast with the tools they can legal carry. Check out our ALIVE!™ Combatives page for more information on this exciting program.


Sambo Fort Worth Logo
  • Are you the more competitive type?
  • Potentially interested in competing both local, national and internationally?
  • Want to learn some devastating throws and strikes?

Then Combat Sambo might be more for you! Combat Sambo is a versatile martial art and combat sport that fuses judo and wrestling. This is a bit more intense and physical than the Gracie Combatives course, and has a great mix of strikes, throws, take downs and grappling. But still great for beginners and more advanced students looking for more of a challenge! Check out our Combat Sambo page for more information on this exciting program.
