Civilian Tactical & Martial Arts Training
Self-Defense - Self-Protection - Self-Reliance
Do any of these sound like you?
Your schedule is full and you don't have time to spend in weekly classes.
You feel like you're not getting the detail you need to progress to the next level.
Concerned your current training doesn't address the full spectrum of violence.
Worried that physical ability would be limiting in a typical class setting.
Go Beyond Ordinary Training
Group classes are a valuable training tool. It gives you access to hours of practice and multiple body types to practice on. However, I found that it didn't always provide opportunities for me to invest in my personal growth. If I was struggling or had more complex questions, it was rare for us to stop class and dig into it.
Then I was introduced to the concept of Training Intensives. It was a game changer. I was able to focus on the skills that really impacted my performance and allowed me to grow exponentially. I am now offering that opportunity to you!
Whether you're looking to train in your 10th style, start a new system of study, or simply want to build skills you can feel confident in, there is a path for you.
Course Design
Intensive sessions are organized into training blocks. Each block consists of three hours of dedicated instruction.
A half day is comprised of a single block, and a full day is two blocks. One morning session and one afternoon session.
Bring your team
No matter if you choose a half-day intensive, or full-day deep dive, you can bring up to four training partners.
This lets you learn together, pushing each other to achieve more. Studies show training with partners leads to better results and keeps you motivated long-term.

F.A.Q
Do I need previous experience? Absolutely not. The training is built around you. So if it's your 1st day or you 10th year you'll find the training material manageable.
Do I need to be in shape to begin? No! The training itself can help you reach your fitness goals.
Should I have a training partner? It is recommended. Having a partner helps in developing long-term skills and is a great way to minimize cost.
How often should I schedule training? That is entirely up to you and your schedule. Some clients schedule once a month while others schedule a couple times a year.
Worried about the investment? No worries. If you're worried about the content or teaching style of the instructor we can setup a short free intro session for you to test out the training methods and personalities.
For the past twenty years, I've have relentlessly pursued mastery in the martial arts. My journey through disciplines like Jeet Kune Do, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and Filipino Kali has not only honed my physical strength but also instilled in me an unshakeable mental and emotional discipline. This ability to remain calm under adversity has proven invaluable in all facets of my life, from navigating difficult conversations to facing down deadlines. It is my mission now to help you start your own journey and to forge these valuable skills for yourself. ~ Sifu David Mitchell

Client Feedback
Before working 1:1 with Sifu Mitchell, I had gotten my black belt in another martial art after 3 1/2 years of steady training... but I still felt unable to protect myself and my family. If put into an uncomfortable situation, my body would go into fight/flight/freeze, and I'd suddenly lose all my black belt knowledge. I tended toward people-pleasing rather than allowing myself to defend myself or aggressively take up space. As a mid-thirties woman, I feel like that's more common than not.
Then I started working with Sifu Mitchell. Unlike in group classes where the high achievers are often overlooked, the 1:1 training session is fully dedicated to me and my personal self defense needs. These sessions are more than physical training or learning and repeating patterns. He's helped me through multiple emotional and mental blocks, trained me to get over the fear of hurting someone or doing the wrong thing. Over the course of our time together, I've stopped obsessively saying "sorry" and I've started standing up for myself in day-to-day life. And I genuinely feel confident that, if attacked, I would no longer freeze.
There's something truly magical about Sifu Mitchell, in his ability to hold space, to maintain complete professionalism, and to meet a person exactly where they are and customize training to their needs.

Sifu David is very knowledgeable and has an incredible understanding of range, timing, body mechanics, and how to apply them under pressure. From empty hand to weapons, he makes the information easy to understand and a lot of fun to learn!
