C.O.B.R.A.™ Is A Police Academy For Civilians
Combining experience in law enforcement, close quarter combat techniques, martial arts & the psychology of criminal intent the Combat Objective Battle Ready Applications, or C.O.B.R.A.™, self-defense system is designed to be highly effective in real world situations where your survival is on the line.
Ex-street cop, sheriff and corrections officer, Joe Lewis-blackbelt, school owner, author and C.O.B.R.A.™ founder Chris Sutton has written the book (literally) on the pyschology of self-defense. This is not simply a collection of "cool moves," but a complete system covering both the mental and physical aspects of self-defense with a unique emphasis on scenario training.
Our Mission Is To Make EVERYONE Safer
Everyone deserves to improve their security. No matter your age, gender, or level of expertise.
There is no martial protocol. No uniforms. No belts. No bowing. This is a "Police Academy For Civilians."
Avoid conflict in the first place and keep in control when conflict is unavoidable -- when most people mentally and physically shut down. C.O.B.R.A.™ is an eye-opening and rewarding experience for students.
Self-Defense Myth-Busting
Amazingly, from kindergarten through high school and college, we are never required to learn self-defense. We then dedicate ourselves to developing our careers.
Most of us, therefore, go our entire life never considering self-defense until the very moment we need it. And by then it's too late.
The myths we see on tv and in movies make up the core of most people's training. We think having a cell phone or a firearm, for example, is all the protection we need. We are wrong.
C.O.B.R.A.™ is an eye-opening experience.

"Chris Sutton has really hit a home run with his C.O.B.R.A.™ program. It's the only effective self-defense program that I would recommend and I have been in the industry over 20 years."
"C.O.B.R.A.™ was actually better than the training I received in the police academy."
"It made me feel empowered and a lot more confident as a single female."
"The techniques taught in C.O.B.R.A.™ are quick. They are gross motor skills... It was that quick, that effective and I was able to maintain control of the situation which otherwise would have been chaotic."
"WHAT AN AMAZING, LIFE ALTERING CLASS!!!! We took the C.O.B.R.A. Self-Defense Class due to my being mugged 6 months ago. I never thought I would feel so empowered as I do now. I hope that no one ever has to feel the adrenaline rush of a true mugging or the fear that comes after it. This class gave us the basis for protecting ourselves and our loved ones!! Thank you Chris, C.O.B.R.A. instructors and everyone, including some amazing classmates, for a wonderful, LIFE ALTERING EXPERIENCE!!! We will be taking this class again and again!! Go C.O.B.R.A.!!!"
"The C.O.B.R.A. self-defense program was one of the best investments I have made in my life. I really enjoyed these classes because I feel like I will be able to have control if I am ever put in a situation. I'm not a big person, but I have confidence, power, and knowledge to defend myself."
"I came from karate... C.O.B.R.A.™ taught me that the flashy kicks and the flashy punches sometimes don't work in a real world situation where someone's taking your legs out and all those things are going out the window."
"I can honestly say that this is without a doubt the best way to bring functional, realistic and useful self-defense to the public. I have been involved in the martial arts and self-defense industry for close to 30 years and have not seen anything like the C.O.B.R.A.™ program."
"This course made me realize just how little I knew! With C.O.B.R.A.™ training, even the smallest person can defend themselves."
"The scenario training really sets it apart from any other program out there."
"The C.O.B.R.A.™ experience was very similar to what I taught as a combatives instructor for the United States Army. Chris Sutton's C.O.B.R.A.™ course teaches a suite of skills that can absolutely be used in any type of life threatening situation. Personally I had my two daughters and two boys take the course because I am a big believer in the confidence it builds and skill set it provides."
"This program is vital to take! I am more conscious of my environment and don't put myself in dangerous areas. This program will teach you reality-based information that karate won't!"
"This is a great course! I think my children will know how to react if they are in a dangerous situation. This is a great class for anyone!"
"I can't believe I went without self-defense training for 26 years! The training academy is AMAZING! You won't believe what simple techniques can be done to help defend yourself if you are in a bad situation!"
