Full description and what we offer
Fox Defensive Training specializes in practical self-defense instruction based on the science of how people actually respond under threat. Brent brings 23+ years of physical security experience, training as a PPCT Law Enforcement & Security Defensive Tactics Instructor, and certifications from the USCCA, NRA, American Red Cross, and American Heart Association.
"This is not tournament fighting. I train you to survive a sudden attack which gives you the chance to escape and/or transition to use your other skills."
Unlike sport-focused martial arts, Fox Defensive Training teaches street-effective techniques grounded in real attack scenarios and human physiology under stress. Brent has trained in Kali, Silat, Muay Thai, Small-Circle Jiu-Jitsu, Krav Maga, and studied the Tony Blauer SPEAR System—and he filters everything through a practical survivability lens.

Four Facts About Self-Defense
1. You don't need to be a black belt to defend yourself 2. Some martial arts training isn't street-effective—tournament focus vs. real-world application 3. Untrained people do foil attacks, but realistic training gives you a definite edge 4. "Failing to prepare is preparing to fail"—take reasonable steps to mitigate threats, like learning first aid or self-defense :::
Fox Defensive Training teaches from the science behind psychological and physiological human responses to threats, attacks, and violence. The goal: help average people and professionals survive a sudden attack so they can escape and/or transition to their other skills.
