Welcome to the Core Combatives website – thanks for visiting!

Essentially Core Combatives (C2) is just a simple and truthful perspective regarding real personal physical conflict, and represents a dynamic vehicle for the ‘hard’ skills required to actively counter real threats to your person – C2 presents certain solutions for certain problems, without aesthetic or sporting compromise.

As time goes on new material will be introduced to this site, ranging from technical articles to instructional video clips – with the intention of presenting the most ‘cutting edge’ views on personal combat methodology available. In-depth exploration of the essential ‘soft’ skills associated with threat management, the primary objective, will also be contained on this site – C2 ‘hard’ skill elements are merely the last resort, and this can never be overlooked.

This site is, and will continue to be, a work in progress – please be patient and visit often!

FOUNDATION INSTRUCTOR PROGRAMME
The C2 Foundation Instructor Programme has been carefully revised to make it more accessible, to both UK and overseas based candidates.  It is a highly detailed and progressive approach, consisting of 80 hours of direct tuition and assessment, combined with several months of individual skill development.  You do not simply ‘train to the test’ and it isn’t a case of getting candidates certified as soon as possible.  Click here for full details.
