We FIGHT out of LOVE for our family and friends, not out of ANGER! We just want to get home safe and live a good life!
This is how we approach our training, and this is what gives us the strength to survive in difficult situations.
Our Street - self defence classes cross-train street effective techniques from many martial arts, with a focus on stand up fighting and reality training. Classes are run at our Cheltenham Academy.
The purpose of the programme is to equip students with the theory, strategies, tactics, techniques, skills, attributes and experience necessary; to deal with the majority of threats they are likely to face, living as an average citizen in the UK.
Our safety and that of our loved ones is on us, we cannot rely on the police or anyone else to keep us safe. It is a duty on us to ensure we have the knowledge and skills to manage this responsibility.
Your safety is down to You, but we can help!

WHAT WILL I LEARN?
STRIKING
We develop fast and powerful striking techniques through pad drills, partner work and sparring.
We take self defence techniques from Thai, Filipino, Chinese and Western boxing as well as many different knees and kicks from these and other Martial arts
TRAPPING
Our self defence classes cover trapping to shift our opponents body and offset it through the manipulation of limbs. This is an integral part of our training using trapping drills from JKD, Wing Chun and Kali and practical applied Taichi.
GRAPPLING
Whilst we try and avoid getting close enough to be grabbed, unfortunately grappling plays a major part in many violent confrontations. Understanding the clinch, takedowns and Filipino Dumog, mean that when it happens we have solutions.
GROUND
The ground is not your friend, so understanding how to get up from it, even with a large opponent sat on you is vital to self defence knowledge and training. Elements of BJJ, Judo and wrestling are used to help avoid this awful place in a fight.
MULTIPLES
We practice sparring with 1 against 2 or 1 against 3 to develop our peripheral vision, reactions and our footwork and movement. This is high adrenaline stuff and really sharpens your focus, essential training for street self defence.
WEAPONS
We train weapons that have real life relevance, essentially sticks and knives. Taken from Kali and Krav Maga we look at how to use weapons and if there is no other option, how to defend against weapons, and yes we know running is a good idea!
BOB BREENS 4D COMBAT
LEARN THE DEVISTATING SKILLS OF JKD & KALI
Combined Defensive Arts is proud to be a 4d Combat Affiliate club.
4D Combat was developed from the two amazing arts of Jeet Kune Do (JKD) and Kali. JKD, developed by Bruce Lee, is in many ways the original MMA of the modern era, whereas Kali is the ancient warrior art of the Philippines.
Both are amazing arts but how do you master both of these in one lifetime? Bob wanted to create a simpler model; something that would work for normal people yet have all the depth of the arts from which it was derived.His aim was to keep the art, but prioritise the function.
He made the decision that 4D Combat would concentrate on stand up fighting - where all fights start and most end.​
