Next Level Combatives

Become The Weapon.

Welcome to Next Level Combatives (NLC), a full-service close-quarter-combat (CQC) training company. Close-quarter-combat, hand-to-hand, self-defense, defensive measures and defensive techniques are all different terms for the same ultimate end result, being more efficient at protecting yourself, and or your loved ones. For those in the professional protection industries; law enforcement, bodyguards, executive protection, dignitary protection, air marshals, armed security and others, being proficient in CQC is an extremely important part of the “job.”

Next Level Combatives operates from the perspective that nothing matters more in an aggressive situation then neutralizing the threat and either removing yourself, your loved ones, or your principals from harm’s way, removing the threat itself or maintaining control over the threat. Our core principles are enabling our clients to be more efficient with less effort, gaining a greater understanding of body mechanics, increasing your ability to use leverage to your advantage, knowing the difference between focus and awareness, and getting away as safely as possible.

Courses Designed To Keep You And Your Family Safe

The world today is becoming a more dangerous place for more people. Personal attacks, sexual assaults, bullying scenarios and other hands on incidents are occurring far more frequently than ever before. Being able to effectively defend yourself and your loved ones has become a greater priority to people now a day and unfortunately we don’t see this trend changing for the better any time soon.

Since we cannot control or decide when danger will show up at our doorstep, both figuratively and literally speaking, we must always be prepared to be vigilant and ready to take defensive measures in order to protect ourselves, and those we care about. We have seen an upsurge of people carrying concealed weapons like firearms, pocket knives, sprays, gels and other defensive weapons that they put their trust in to deal with a threat should they need to.

Training As If Your Life Depends On It....Because It Does

Being a Law Enforcement Officer ("LEO") is an extremely difficult job every day you go to work. Next Level Combatives understands that non-compliant, aggressive situations can spin out of control rather quickly, especially once the handcuffs come out for apprehending a suspect.

It is important that as a LEO, whether on patrol, in plain clothes, as a detective, working under cover, directing traffic or even off-duty, that you are current on your close-quarter combat, defensive measures and hand-to-hand techniques so that you can always go home safely to your loved ones should you have to be physical on the job.

Can You Keep Your Employees And Guests Safe If Tragedy Strikes?

In today’s world, the climate of one’s personal safety has changed tremendously, even from just few years ago. No longer can we only worry about our safety or that of our loved ones abroad in another country. Now, we must pay attention to everything at all times at home, on the street, in parking lots, during our commutes, at social activities, at our places of worship and even in our corporate environments. Unfortunately we are not automatically safe in most places anymore, and no longer can we say, “That won’t happen to me.”

As a leader of a business organization, it is your responsibility to make sure that you and your team operate in as safe an environment as possible. Part of that responsibility is their personal safety. Can you say that you and your staff are trained and prepared to act if a threatening situation were to present itself in your workplace? Next Level Combatives offers solutions that address these doubts and fears that you and your staff may have regarding this topic. LEARN MORE
