Prepare yourself with a comprehensive approach to self-defense in this six-hour intensive course, divided into two parts. This program is designed to equip participants with critical skills for real-world encounters, emphasizing the integration of everyday carry (EDC) items, situational awareness, and practical self-defense strategies.
Most martial arts are built for sport. They train you in controlled environments with rules, weight classes, and evenly matched opponents. Great for competition, but not for the realities of self-defense. C-Tac® is different. This system was built for survival. We prepare you for the worst-case scenario when your attacker is bigger, stronger, faster, armed, or not alone.
Filipino Martial Arts (FMA), often known as Kali, Eskrima, or Arnis, is a weapon-based fighting system built for real-world self-defense. It’s famous for developing practical skills fast because it starts with simple, functional tools, sticks, blades, and everyday carry style weapons, then translates those same movements into empty-hand application.
This is a three-hour, range-based training block built for gun owners who understand a simple truth: the fight that matters most is the one that starts too close. If you carry, your first problem is not marksmanship. Your first problem is recognizing trouble early, surviving the initial crash, protecting your head and belt line, creating space, and accessing your weapon systems when they’re actually available.
the U.S. Keysi Fighting Method Instructor Training Program, designed for both aspiring instructors seeking certification and dedicated practitioners who want to develop their skills to the highest level.
Keysi Fighting Method (KFM) is a close-quarters self-defense system designed for chaotic, real-world environments. It builds from strong body structure and the Pensador guard, using short-range striking to protect the head and spine, regain initiative, and create a safe exit. What sets Keysi apart is its structure-first approach, tight elbows and forearms, smart head positioning, and tactical movement that changes angles and levels quickly.
