Integrated Martial Arts Strategies

Course Focus

​

The Ground S.E.R.E. Course is designed to prepare individuals for the realities of being taken to the ground during a self-defense situation—especially those with little to no background in grappling arts like wrestling or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

This course emphasizes the four core principles of ground survival:

S.E.R.E.

• Survival – Avoid immediate threats to life and limb

• Evasion – Escape from dangerous positions and entanglements

• Resistance – Counter control tactics from the ground

• Escape – Return to your feet or create space to disengage

Rather than approaching ground combat from a sport-based mindset, this course takes into account real-world factors such as weapons access, multiple attackers, and environmental hazards—delivering tactics that work under pressure in unpredictable conditions.

​

 What You’ll Learn

​

✔ Ground Survival Principles – Understand and apply the Ground S.E.R.E. mindset.
✔ Positional Awareness – Identify high-risk ground positions and escape priorities.
✔ Defending Against Blunt and Edged Weapons – React and control threats while grounded.
✔ Multiple Attacker Strategies – Learn how to reposition and survive when outnumbered.
✔ Escape & Disengage – Create space, stand up, and get back to a dominant position.
✔ Minimal-Grappling Solutions – Use instinctive, gross-motor tactics rather than sport-based techniques.

​

 Who Should Take This Course?

​

🔹 Security & Law Enforcement Professionals – Build confidence and control from disadvantaged ground positions.
🔹 Civilians & Concealed Carriers – Develop real-world solutions to ground fights involving weapons or outnumbered scenarios.
🔹 Martial Artists & Instructors – Expand your training beyond the limitations of mat-based grappling.

​

 Why This Approach Works

​

Most ground-fighting systems rely heavily on sport grappling frameworks that assume a one-on-one, unarmed environment. Ground S.E.R.E. is different. It prepares you for the chaos of the street, where weapons, hard surfaces, and multiple threats turn the ground into a place of extreme danger—but also potential opportunity, if approached with the right mindset and skill set.

​

🔹 Train smart. Train real. Train for survival.
