Street Smart Combatives is the Signature Self Defense System Developed by Lindle Beets, a veteran with over 30 years in martial arts, military and law enforcement expereince.

Though karate provides an outstanding foundation for a self defense curriculum, there are other facets to self preservation that can not be acquired by karate alone. The 911 attack on the United States demonstrated our vulnerability to an increasingly dangerous world. As a result more and more people are seeking martial arts training as a way to remain in control of their own personal existence. To meet this need, Mr. Beets has utilized his service and experience with the United States Military, Law Enforcement, and Martial Arts to develop an effective self defense system called "Street Smart Combatives". Our SSC curriculum incorporates a hybrid of techniques, concepts, and philosophies found in Chinese Kenpo, Japanese Karate, Israel's Krav Maga, and Close Quarter Combat training (With/Without Weapons). Using one's surroundings, a keen sense of awareness, and applying a resourceful spirit "Street Smart Combatives" is easy to learn, retain, and apply in a moments notice regardless of age or physical ability.
 Street Smart Combatives is available through the dojo and/or special training seminars. To learn more please see our contact page.

Note: Understanding the challenges one may face in a violent encounter and teaching concepts to confront such challenges requires more than a few years of martial arts experience and/or certification seminars. Mr. Beets has "real world" experience and has trained with the world's top self defense/close quarters combat instructors.
