Unarmed Combatives
If you are interested in training without a firearm or other force multiplier, we are certainly willing and able to accomodate that as well. In fact, that's where all of this started. From 1998 - 2010, Richard was heavily involved in the Mixed Martial Arts (called No Holds Barred in those days) and Submission Grappling communities as a student, competitor, and coach. Trained by Gary Brown (founder of Eagle Combat Systems and Army combat veteran of Vietnam) and George Allen (retired professional fighter and referee, Army veteran), Richard dedicated much of his life to learning both the sport aspects of Mixed Martial Arts as well as the in-depth intricacies of the Eagle Combat System. After almost a decade, Richard achieved the rank of Shodan (First Degree Black Belt) under Gary Brown, becoming one of a handful of students to achieve this rank.
Richard has also conducted seminars covering the following topics:
- Rape Prevention for College Dorms, Women's Groups, and Private Businesses
- Situational Awareness for both male and female civilians
- Unarmed self-defense
- Edged weapon self-defense
- Concealed Carry techniques for civilians
- Firearm safety
- Home Protection both with and without firearm
- No-Gi Submission Grappling for Competition
- Mixed Martial Arts
