Level 5 Combat Systems

Specialties

Level 5 Combat Systems (L5CS) is real life self defense distilled from decades of martial arts training and research. We present a hard-​hitting skill set to be used when counter violence is the only answer. This is truly where self defense meets self offense. The classes are based in modern combatives — a revitalized and updated version of the WWII combatives taught to troops in the 1940’s. The skills learned in this class are the next evolution in martial arts. In fact, we don’t even call it a martial art.
