Who We Are

Sentinel Combatives was founded and is led by a U.S. Air Force veteran with more than three decades of operational, security, and protective experience.

Our training is built upon the foundation of IKI Krav Maga, enhanced by modern understanding of criminal assault behavior, stress performance, weapons awareness, and civilian self-protection.

We proudly serve students from:

Young Harris

The surrounding North Georgia and Western North Carolina region

We do not train for trophies, points, or competition.

We train for awareness, avoidance, protection, and survival.

Protection

Develop simple, effective skills for managing real-world violence, including striking, clinch survival, weapon awareness, and emergency self-defense.

Build the mindset, confidence, and decision-making ability required to remain functional under pressure and return home safely.
