360X DEFENSE™ — Violent Crime Survival Science
We don’t train for sport. We prepare for reality.
Every method we teach is built on human performance science, threat psychology, and real-world combat mechanics — so you can think faster, act smarter, and prevail under pressure.
The First Step - Select A Progrm -There are five choices.
Elite Defender Program
Firearms + Hand-To-Hand
(Ages 18 Plus)
The 360X Hybrid Defender™ System fuses close-quarters hand-to-hand combat with firearms mastery into one seamless method. Learn when to move, when to draw, and how to transition between weapons with precision. Train to think tactically, act decisively, and prevail under pressure.
360XDM
Hand-To-Hand Only
(Ages 18-55)
When weapons aren’t an option, your body becomes the system. The 360X Hand-to-Hand Program™ teaches you to outthink, outmaneuver, and outlast the threat through biomechanical precision and controlled aggression — the foundation of every real-world defense.
Excellent Firearms Training
(Ages 21 Plus)
The 360X Firearms Program™ prioritizes practical, survival-focused skill: deliberate marksmanship, defensive movement, and rapid decision-making under stress. Training builds real capability first — how to present, draw, aim, move, and transition — while equally integrating the legal, moral, and safety principles that must govern every defensive action. Students leave with technical competence, tactical judgment, and the ethical clarity to use force responsibly when there is no other option.
The Resilient Defender
Firearms + Alternate Weapons (Ages 55 Plus)
The Resilient Defender™ program is designed specifically for men and women aged 55 and above, teaching practical strategies to outthink and outmaneuver the criminal before danger ever takes hold.
Through a blend of age-appropriate hand-to-hand defense and firearms training, it builds strength, awareness, and adaptability—proven tools that keep you confident, capable, and in control when it matters most.
Young Sentinel Defender
Hand-To-Hand
(Ages 13 - 18)

With what is going on in the world today I felt the need to become educated in self defense and the use of firearms. I started attending classes here 3 months ago and now feel confident that I can handle a growing number of dangerous situations.

Ken is a Tenth-Degree Black Belt who has been practicing martial arts for 60 years, now. He is thoughtful, insightful, and provides practical self-defense applications for the t'ai chi postures as well as the physical training in how to execute them in a form of his own creation, based on the traditional Yang style long form.It's physically and mentally challenging and improves one's strength and balance and the understanding of body mechanics.Posted on A SmithJune 30, 2021Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Been a student here for a bit & I love it! Very thorough training. They won't let you out of the class unless it's clear you know what you're doing. I checked some other places (for gun training) & while the prices were competitive, I felt that 360X Defense offered a lot more variety, a lot more information & good safety techniques. And no, no one paid me to write this.Posted on larry WallaceJune 12, 2018Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Good school to learn close end fighting. Also, self defence to 10th degree
