"...knowing that as a female I can bring out my inner street fighter, and bring that level of viciousness out to confront a larger stronger male attacker makes me feel much safer." - Student of Progressive Combat Systems Welcome to Progressive Combat Systems What is Progressive Combat Systems? Surviving an actual violent encounter is not about belts, traditions, styles, competition or any such luxuries. It is about truth. The truth about real asocial violent encounters is uncomfortable, but if you don't learn to face reality you will be unprepared when it rears it's ugly head, and that may mean that you don't make it home to see your spouse, kids or loved ones. Progressive Combat Systems is about the truth. Our techniques are proven effective and are in use by our elite Special Forces, Navy SEALS, FBI, CIA, DOD, SWAT and over 50 police departments in addition to normal everyday citizens. What is Progressive Combat System's goal? First and foremost we want to provide you with a world class formula to survive any act of random violence. Whether it be a street fight, carjacking, parking lot assault, rape, home invasion or other. Whether you are traveling on vacation or business, at home or walking into a dimly lit parking lot, asocial predators are looking for victims. Our goal is to keep you from being a victim. Secondly, we are committed to perpetuating Bruce Lee's concept of Jeet Kune Do. A philosophy of Martial Arts that states that the individual is more important than any established system. In other words, rather than being forced to use techniques that won't work well for you, we encourage the individual to use the techniques that work best for them and eliminate the useless. Imagine a small female trying to out punch a larger man; if she can then great but in most cases it would be better for her to use a different strategy. Our goal is to help you find what works for you to be able to defend yourself in a real self defense scenario. What do we teach? What we teach is military technology. What do I mean by that? It is not for sport; it is gritty, realistic and lethal against any foe no matter how scary or intimidating they may seem. Using conventional traditional or sport Martial Arts a smaller female would likely not be able to defend herself against a large male attacker, God forbid he be jacked-up on PCP and acting crazy. That is why there are weight classes and rules in sport Martial Arts. Our system moves the odds to your favor. We teach you the techniques, strategies and mental aspects required to escape with your life and health intact! We teach you how to survive the most common types of violent situations you may find yourself in; on your feet, on the ground, attacked with a weapon or multiple attackers. Our methods are not pretty, they are gritty, real and violent. I am not going to lie to you and tell you that with 3 easy payments, and my special black belt, you can apply a graceful flowing technique that you might see in a movie to peacefully subdue a large 6'6" 275 lb maniac... You can't! The only way to win is to cheat and use as much violence as possible, that is what we will empower you with. "If you're thinking brutal self-defense system must mean brutal training, then don't worry; Brian's classes are very safe, relaxed, and even fun!" - Student of Progressive Combat Systems Why so much violence? Violence is an awful thing. I never want to use it on a human being, ever! And I hope you do not either. However, the bad guys of the world have no problem using violence. There is a line that most civil social people won't cross, to the asocial maniac, there is no line. Trying to outclass and out-technique a larger, stronger more aggressive violent attacker is like trying to use a fly swatter against a lion... right tool, wrong job. Violence is only a tool, just like a hammer or a car. It can be used for good or for evil. Your nature will determine how you use it. With the proper training, you will have violence in your tool belt. And with that tool you can walk through life with a peace that can't be described. You won't walk in fear but with respect for your fellow mankind. If you are a regular Joe or Jane and want to have the empowerment of our system contact me today. If you are an experienced Martial Artist from any background and you want to know how to take your already exceptional skill and translate that into the quickest way to end a violent encounter possible, then contact me today. back to top Progressive Combat Systems is a Martial Arts and Self-Defense academy in the Denver, Colorado area.
