Nashville martial arts and self-Defense, professional martial arts and self-defense instruction. At Nshville Combat Systema our instructors are dedicated to the science and study of combat solutions. We believe in a comprehensive approach to martial arts that utilizes practical and realistic self-defense study, equipping our practitioners with the essential skills needed to survive any potential combative scenario. Unrelenting physical fitness training and mental preparedness is the backbone of the systema practitioner. We offer classes in Combat Systema, Combat grappling (grappling with weapons and multiple attackers), offensive and defensive weapons, and Functional fitness for the combat athlete or for those who just want to be in the best shape of their lives. NCS is dedicated to leading each student as they realize their own personal resolution of fear and the chaos that is the reality of any self-defense scenario. In realistic combat situations lives are on the line, not money or trophies. In realistic self-defense situations there are no rules, no referee, no breaks or time limits, and no scenario is ever the same. At NCS we know and appreciate the uniqueness of every student. Our instructors do not believe in teaching fixed Katas or techniques that fall apart in the heat of battle. Instead we believe in teaching a clear, logical, step by step curriculum consisting of essential and comprehensive combat principles. These principles are subject to the personal interpretation and unique skill set of each student. 360 Defense is under the direction of Stewart Breeding and Gregg Smith.
