About Kyle

Train with someone who's actually been there.


Kyle Stewart is a former Marine Corps Sergeant — 0331 machine gunner, three deployments to Afghanistan — and a UFC + Bellator alumnus with a 15–6 professional MMA record. He teaches defensive tactics in Phoenix because the people who need real skills shouldn't have to learn them the hard way.

What you'll learn

Four pillars. One standard.


01

Hand-to-hand

Striking, clinch, takedown defense, ground game. What you actually do when the talking stops.

02

Weapons-based

Firearms integration. Weapons retention. Edge weapons. When the fight involves a tool — yours or theirs.

03

Scenario training

Multi-attacker. Low-light. Restricted spaces. Vehicles. Real situations don't happen on a mat in a square room.

04

Custom programs

Corporate teams, women-specific, LEO, executive protection. Tell me your environment.
