Austin Combatives and Self-Defense

My friends here will recognize me despite my Unilocal pseudonym.
I’ve been training with Herb off and on for several years (as life spares me the time) and there is nothing quite like what you’ll find here. The variety of regulars who also show up as they can make this group welcoming and challenging. We push and test our theories, principles and techniques, discarding what doesn’t work under pressure and refining what is consistently successful and teachable for each person since everyone has different attributes and limitations. If something doesn’t work for you we keep at it until you find your way.
Herb has a gifted way of breaking things down so that things you never thought you could learn you end up becoming proficient with, assuming you attend regularly which is no different than any other skill in life. The skills you will learn here will be highly personal, they will be uniquely yours, you will own them.
If you want pressure tested methods that can save your life then contact Herb and set up a time to come by. Hopefully I can join you.

This is a great training resource for those who want to ‘get home alive’! Mr. Herb Martin is an excellent instructor who will spend as much time as an individual wants or needs to improve themselves.
Herb focuses on preventing criminal assaults through awareness, de-​escalation, and ultimately self protection. This is really top-​quality instruction, and I would encourage anyone who is at all interested in learning how to protect themselves and/​or their loved ones to stop in and check it out.
