Urban Combat Reality Based Self Defense

Menlo Park residents and families across the Peninsula turn to Urban Combat Reality Based Self Defense for practical self-defense training that prepares people for real-world situations. Our classes blend techniques from boxing, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, knife fighting and combat shooting, all grounded in real-life scenarios, film study and the psychology of conflict.

Instruction is hands-on, with head instructor Brian Strathadee working alongside students rather than lecturing from the sidelines. Our small class sizes foster a supportive community where experienced students mentor newcomers and everyone is encouraged to build up one another.

Whether you're looking to learn self-defense, get a challenging workout or meet good people, our ego-free environment welcomes all skill levels. We've trained students for years, and many keep coming back for the focus on simple, effective techniques.
