Combatives Programs

KSD

Tactical Knife - Core Skills

AMOK is a fight-based methodology built to make you functional fast in chaotic, spontaneous encounters. Instead of choreographed drills, AMOK trains broken rhythm, true intent, and realistic consequences so you learn usable skills in the shortest interval of time. The curriculum emphasizes tactical recognition, immediate decision-making, weapon retention, and control under stress — practical, safety-minded, and focused on getting you reliably effective when it matters.

Tactical Knife - Comprehensive

This course builds on the Core Skills syllabus and makes you reliably effective across the full spectrum of edged encounters. You get everything from Core Skills, plus fourteen advanced tactical modules covering handling and deployment, grip choices, forward and reverse striking, access under attack, footwork and quartering, countering and timing traps, set-ups and takedowns, disarming, multi-target and impact-strike integration, adaptation in chaotic environments, and so much more.

Machete

Our Machete course takes Core Knife tactics and adjusts them for the longer, heavier blade—training you to dominate reach, harness brutal momentum, and control the violent, shifting distances of machete encounters. You’ll master striking power, range discipline, and how a longer blade warps timing and leverage. Drills hammer entry/exit angles and aggressive footwork for distance gain and decisive closure.

Firearms Programs

CCW Pistol

More than marksmanship, our Pistol courses teach how to employ a handgun under stress — shooting fundamentals, threat recognition, safe presentation, and immediate decision-making — so you can deliver accurate, lawful force when required. We emphasize safe handling, malfunction awareness, and how to integrate the pistol into a complete, legally defensible response — always with safety, legality, and accountability at the core.

Carry Safer

Our Carry Safer program teaches not only safe access to your firearm under attack. CCW holders bear the duty to use their firearm lawfully — and an equal duty to retain it and prevent it from being taken or used against them or others, especially in close-quarters or crowded environments. We focus on realistic, safety-first techniques and decision-making so you leave with the skills and judgment to protect yourself responsibly.”
