Collaborative Integrated Training Retreat
Integrated Combatives, defensive firearms and medical training - built around community, not personality.
Train. Connect. Refine.
Why This Event Exists
Combatives at the Lake brings serious students and instructors together in a shared environment to train across the full spectrum of civilian violence management.
The lake house, on-site matted training space, and nearby private range function as a single integrated environment. The result is less friction, more training time, deeper learning, and stronger relationships than a typical weekend class — where everyone drives home after dinner.
What Makes This Different?
Instructors train alongside students
Small-group learning over lecture
Shared environment accelerates development
Community is part of the curriculum
Who This is For
Responsible armed citizens
Practitioners who already train
Instructors and serious students seeking integration
Not designed as a beginner introduction to firearms.
Integrated Combatives includes:
Strategies for managing unknown contacts
Managing space and time with language and movement
Legally justifiable, socially acceptable use of force.
Clinch and ground problem-solving for armed citizens
Defensive use of empty hands, less-lethal tools, edged weapons and firearms
Medical considerations for violent encounters
The Collaborative Model
Combatives at the Lake is intentionally collaborative.
Some instructors teach blocks. Others attend as student-coaches and high-quality training partners. Some do both.
Both new and experienced practitioners are welcome.
Titles matter less than contribution. If you show up prepared, engaged, and willing to train, you add value.
Survival mindset for urban and austere environments
Specific instructors and emphasis vary by event.
