Imminent Combat, LLC is a veteran owned and operated company, dedicated to the tenets and principles of U.S. Marine Corps training doctrine.  While some personal defense training agencies embrace theatrics, stagecraft, and gimmicks, we are committed to delivering training that is real-world, practical, and functional.

While we all have the right to protect our lives and our property, we don't all have the ability. Some people apply skills learned through years of military training and combat. Others apply their wealth to hire those with skills to protect them. Unfortunately, less than one percent of the population fall into either of those categories. Borrowing from a popular idiom that you will likely recognize, "Give a man protection and he's safe for a day. Teach a man to protect himself, and you break his chains of fear and trepidation forever." My vision for every I-Combat client is to cultivate and firmly fix within him or her, a sense of self confidence in the face of imminent combat, through training that is tailored to each client's unique circumstances. The skills required for this level of confidence are irregular, yet definable; difficult, yet obtainable; valuable, yet affordable. Imminent Combat, LLC uses the same systems approach to training employed by US Marines and Special Operators. The best tactics, techniques, and practices will be applied to our client's lifestyles, routines, and requirements to deliver a truly tailored personal defense product, rejecting the "one size fits all" mentality of many popular alternatives.
