Welcome to SKG CombativesOur goal is pretty simple. No hype, no feel-good seminars taught by unqualified instructors just the truth about what will keep you and those you care about safe.
First and foremost, this is not a shooting class though necessary gun manipulation skills are covered. Instead, we focus on scenarios dictating the response, pre-contact cues, the anatomy of violence, situational awareness, weapon deployment, and retention both defensively and preemptively. We bring the best in highly effective empty hand techniques using elbows, knees, palm strikes, dirty boxing, and simple grappling techniques that work whether you carry or not. Our knife and impact weapon work uses angles of attack, range of combat, movement, your environment, and efficiency, all while amid an adrenaline dump with an aggressive attacker. Our classes work on the simple concept of 3 Primary Targets, eyes, throat, groin, and everything else is just in the way to get to those areas. Since our mind can only retain 7 -10 bits of information under the stress of violence, learning more techniques doesn't make sense. Through years of testing, we created an interlocking system of teaching tools and concepts. The concepts and tools you learn when standing up also work on the ground. The knife and gun defense and offense concepts overlap, so there is no need to remember 100's of techniques. Simple, effective, devastating, and easy to remember is our teaching model. We have a casual uniform policy that allows you to train in what you would wear every day with training weapons you would carry in the real world. Since fitness is a personal choice, your health and injuries must be a part of your training, so we give you the option of what you can do physically. Our focus instead is on getting you the information you need with your current fitness level. You need a bit more info and detail first? We offer private lessons, ongoing classes, seminars, Self-defense Tools, and free online information, we have everything you need to stay safe right here. |

Master Instructor Brent Tibbetts
While on a trip in August of 1995 Master Tibbetts found himself trapped in the middle of a massive gang fight. After the fight ended he quickly realized he needed to take a more realistic approach to his training and began doing in-depth research on violence. He sought the best street fighting experts in the world and 26 years later he is still learning, evolving, teaching, and helping his community and beyond to stay safe.
