Protection on the Street, School, or ClubWelcome to Conejo Valley’s only Combatives Gym located in Westlake Village. Interested in learning the physical and psychological techniques of being street aware and street safe? Modernize My Fight is for you. We have classes for everyone 7 years old to 70+ years.Come and be CombativeEven the beginning student does not hit air in this gym. We like to be physical. From learning how to hit focus pads, to hitting heavy bags, to hitting one or more human partners. You do it all from day one. And yes, you do get hit back. One cannot learn how to be victorious in street violence without learning how to take a hit! Don’t worry, we teach you how to create fences and shields to withstand the first violent assault so you can go on the counter offense and make the street predator into your prey. Your assault is continuous until you can escape.It’s all about thinking and fighting like the attackersModernize My Fight is not a traditional Martial Arts studio. We teach Tier 1 Civilian Combatives. Unlike Martial Arts we focus on gross motor skill striking in close quarter combat (CQC). CQC is the type of fighting that you will typically encounter during attacks on the street, school yard, or from sexual assault. Our fight ethic is that we train to protect ourselves, our family, our friends, and those that cannot protect themselves. Combatives, unlike Martial Arts and Combat sports, focuses on the mental and emotional tool kit required to recognize pre-threat cues that danger is imminent. Once the threat is recognized safe escape is possible.If escape at the moment is not possible Combatives teaches how to manage the extreme stress that violence produces and how to “switch on” predatory instincts and fight until escape is possible. Obviously, one cannot prevail over an attacker with just mental and emotional strength. Combatives teaches the Physical Tool kit to overcome the attack which in the current state of the world means fighting multiple attackers more than likely armed with weapons. Through simulation and scenario driven drills you will become aware of the strategies attackers use to set you up for a violent confrontation and know how to combat them.

Listed skills include Visual Effects, Computer Animation, Animation, After Effects, and 30 others.
