Cyrus Washington is a former US Army combatives instructor and law enforcement defensive tactics trainer with over 20 years of experience teaching people how to defend themselves in real-world situations.

His programs strip away the sport-fighting techniques that don’t work on the street and focus exclusively on what actually saves lives. Whether it’s empty-hand self defense, knife defense, or street fighting tactics, Washington teaches from direct experience — not theory.
