Combatives

The entire point of this path is to enhance the ability of the student to defend themselves when a confrontation is forced upon them. The normal class will typically include some combination of a period of technique building, conditioning, and sparring. Combatives by their nature are a mixture of styles, strategies, and principles with the only acceptable outcome being the survival of the student. With this in mind, students in combatives will study striking with hands, feet, knees, elbows, and more. They will also receive instruction in grappling.
