INSTRUCTOR-TRACK TRAINING
Ongoing classes for locals — and remote clients who can only train once a month.
Our classes are 90 minutes of target practice on the human machine: identifying important anatomical targets and how to move to generate the physics required to break them.
We begin with warm-up exercises that reinforce coordination skills and then engage in “free practice,” working together cooperatively to practice targeting for debilitating injury.
Each group then receives a lesson appropriate for their skill level and works on it until they carve it into their muscle memory and add it to their toolkit.
Personalized instruction means we’ll tailor your experience to give you exactly what you need to keep improving for as long as you want to train — all the way to instructor if that’s your goal.

Once you learn what violence REALLY is (rather than how it is portrayed in movies/pop culture or “self-defense” classes), you realize that the ONLY way to confidence in the face of violence is consistent training and feedback from people who’ve mastered all aspects of violence themselves. With an Injury Dynamics membership, I get that consistent training and constructive feedback 3x per week from people who have forgotten more about violence than I will ever know, and who sincerely want me to succeed at it.

I have trained in Brazilian jiu jitsu and boxing.
Injury Dynamics is the most sensible art I have seen for dealing with a dangerous combatant.

An incredible group of instructors makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE here. These guys are professionals, and the decades of experience really show in class and instruction. There is no ego or macho BS; these guys are legit.

An incredible group of instructors makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE here. These guys are professionals, and the decades of experience really show in class and instruction. There is no ego or macho BS; these guys are legit. I have trained with them for years and there are all types in the classes, which is very inspiring. This is an amazing life tools that I will share with my daughter when she is a little older; she is already learning some of it, she just doesn’t know it yet. 🙂

I used to live in fear of violence, and so I walked softly to avoid being hurt by others. To change this I needed to learn how to use violence as a tool. With the expert instruction at Injury Dynamics, and hard work, I have learned the survival tools of applied violence. Now, I still walk softly, yet confidently. I don’t need to carry a big stick, because now I AM the big stick. I am eternally grateful to everyone at Injury Dynamics for their help with my journey!

I started training with Injury Dynamics because i wanted to learn how to take care of myself and those around me if something were to happen. I figured i had auto insurance incase of an accident, medical insurance in case i got sick… i should probably get training on how to protect my body too!
Not only have i learned how to take care of myself and those around me but my agility, balance, flexibility, spatial awareness, etc. have dramatically improved.
The instructors are incredible humans and the other students are also incredible which makes going to class such an joy.
Cant recommend the information, instruction and team at Injury Dynamics enough.

I am 63 years old and started training with the Injury Dynamics group.
I joined initially because I was selling my business, retiring and wanted to start training again after many years. I trained in Traditional Martial Arts during my lifetime , but it took one class with Chris R.B., Taylor G, and Matt S for me to realize I was told a lie for years. True Combat Training is very different from Traditional sport “point” matches.
As Head Instructor Chris put it to me: We don’t train for sport. Our training is based on the idea that where sport ENDS, is where violence begins… I was hooked from that moment on.

I’m a female. During those rare life moments I allowed myself to consider how I would respond in the event of my attempted murder the thought would go something along these lines: I’ll have either a husband or a big scary dog to protect me. Talk about whistling past a graveyard.
When I found the amazing folks over at Injury Dynamics it gave me the key to unlock my door of fear. Make no mistake about it. Real violence is a scary thing. The training gave me confidence along with many tools should the unthinkable occur. I believe this education is especially valuable for women and should be required for every female once they’re old enough to absorb the information.
Chris, Matt, and all the instructors are highly professional. It’s like training with elite athletes of any sport you can imagine.
I cannot recommend Injury Dynamics and the stellar quality of the instructors enough.

They’re not teaching me to fight, they’re teaching me to win.
Classes are never about sparring, technique, or hitting padded targets. They teach me to break and destroy.
I’m paired with a reaction partner, or two, and I’m let loose to attack. The reactions – prompted by my strikes, breaks, or throws – are the building blocks for this skill. Instead of dealing with the problem of an attacker, I become their problem.
I travel from Phoenix to San Diego once a month, and the instruction I receive is top shelf.
There are quality instructors that help and provide insight the whole time. They’re genuinely dialing me in on being effective and efficient.
