United Defensive Tactics

Marc Cooper, 39. I started martial arts at age 12. Trained in Japanese Martial Arts for 10 years (2008-2018). I needed more and pursued Filipino Kali with Army colleagues in Ottawa, Canada since 2016. Cooper continues his development under Tuhon Belton Lubas of Warrior Strength FMA and develops his skills around various disciplines of FMA. The bulk of my program is based on hybrid model of Filipino Kali. I focus on absorbing what works and is directly applicable for our modern world.

Our curriculum is easy to learn & retain in the shortest amount of time but also what is easiest to recall and apply under adrenal stress. We kept it real f*ckin' simple here. We love having a good time while training in something as dangerous as Filipino Kali, life is short people, have fun while you're at it too. Too many know-it-alls & purists out there who take themselves too seriously. We at UDT, we take our work seriously but we want to make sure you're also enjoying the journey and the process.

You don't need to be a NavySeal Delta Ninja Operator to enjoy close-quarter combatives. We are civilians and "Average Joes" just like you and we all have a mutual passion for survival and protecting our loved ones. Us being everyday people just like you means we can relate to each other and not fear embarrassment if mistakes are made. We help worried citizens become highly capable civilians; not better criminals. We focus on the greater good of our society. Train hard and stay safe everyone.
