Ground Defense

Member Only

Threats and attacks can occur at all levels, and fighting on the ground can be one of the most dangerous and daunting scenarios. As a Fit-to-Fight affiliated center, our Ground Defense program is based in the Fit-to-Fight “From The Ground Up” (FTGU) program. From The Ground Up focuses solely on self protection. Whereas many self protection systems focus on the importance of remaining standing during an altercation or immediately getting back to standing in the event that the fight ends up on the floor, very few provide effective instruction on how to do so. FTGU arranges material in a way that puts the premium on having the physical skill set to actually get back to your feet against a live resisting opponent. The Ground Defense program is not intended to circumvent, replace or in any other way exclude BJJ, Wrestling, Judo, or Grappling from your training. Ground Defense  is a self defense course that teaches you how to defend, fight, and get back to your feet effectively and quickly . Of course, our program combines ground defense tactics with tools to strengthen your emotional and mental stamina so that you can empower yourself with confidence in knowing you CAN defend yourself in any situation.
