Kraken Combatatives is about a lot more than kicks and punches; we are a community that will assist you on your path to a lifestyle of confidence and preparation.

We bring serious students and instructors together in a shared environment to train across the full spectrum of civilian violence management.

But, What makes us Different?

  • Instructors train alongside students

  • Small-group learning over lecture

  • Shared environment accelerates development

  • Community is part of the curriculum

Our program is intentionally collaborative.

Some instructors teach blocks. Others attend as student-coaches and high-quality training partners. Some do both.

Both new and experienced practitioners are welcome. Titles matter less than contribution. If you show up prepared, engaged, and willing to train, you add value.

What we train:

  • Strategies for managing unknown contacts

  • Managing space and time with language and movement

  • Legally justifiable, socially acceptable use of force.

  • Clinch and ground problem-solving for armed citizens

  • Defensive use of empty hands

  • Less-lethal tools

  • Edged weapons

  • Firearms

  • Medical considerations for violent encounters

  • Survival mindset for urban and austere environments

‍ ‍ And much more
