Primed Defender Academy

Welcome to Primed Defender Academy, we are owned and operated by husband-and-wife team, Dawson and Bailey, who have dedicated their life's work to learning, understanding, pressure testing, and teaching martial arts/self-defense in various styles and forms. Through the result of their dedication, they now offer a full spectrum self-defense academy, not bound by one system but rather, forged by multiple proven and effective systems, ultimately providing our students with real world self-defense tactics.

Civilian Tactical Association

The Civilian Tactical Association program was created by our coach Sifu Alan Baker and was designed to bridge the gap between martial arts and self-defense. This program has a strong emphasis of not becoming systemized to one specific style of martial arts but rather encompassing the full spectrum of force. It utilizes the combat blueprint to ensure a well-balanced approach to training incorporating 5 main primal categories of study:

Each of these categories has subcategories to further strengthen your knowledge and development ensuring you have an answer for every situation! 

C-Tac is also unique in that it covers:

Verbal de-escalation and soft control techniques so fighting is an absolute last resort.

Shielding techniques from Keysi Fighting Method. 

Legal considerations so you can protect yourself in the case of an altercation.

Nonverbal ques for avoiding attackers before a situation ever begins. 

Defensive tactics in and around vehicles, against walls, seated, on the ground and much more!

Integration of your everyday carry to blend with your empty hand tactics.

C-Tac was designed for real world defensive scenarios where rules don't apply. You may have multiple opponents to deal with, or they may just be bigger, stronger, or armed. In any case, we want to provide the knowledge and training you need to defend yourself and loved ones. We use a tested, principle-based approach to ensure you have the tools you need to react when pressure is at its highest.
