“In 2015, I attended a Contemporary Jeet Kune Do seminar in California. One of the presenters was a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) practitioner named Kenneth Bigbee, who demonstrated BJJ in a manner that astounded me. Bigbee, who I later learned was a U.S. Navy SEAL, taught a series of unbelievable BJJ applications for use in real street fighting. What was impressive was his ability to instantly adapt traditional BJJ to military and law enforcement situations-something that very few martial arts are able to do (let alone teach). Bigbee was able to take what appeared to be complicated techniques and make them simple through the use of his own brand of heuristics, which everyone could understand and apply. I have since incorporated what Bigbee taught me into my law enforcement and martial arts training, as few people really know what to do if they end up fighting on the ground.

In 2016, I traveled to Indiana to teach a Center Axis Relock (CAR) gunfighting course, where Bigbee was a student. Bigbee proved to be an outstanding student, both in terms of understanding the concepts and principles of the CAR System and especially in its application on the range. Bigbee subsequently took many of the finer points and added it to his own teaching and practice.
Bigbee and I have partnered together to provide leadership and conflict resolution services to corporations. I selected Bigbee as a partner due to his demonstrated competence, drive, and positive attitude.
Kenneth Bigbee is always looking to improve himself and others around him. I am honored to call him my teacher, my student, colleague, and, most of all, my friend.”

Peak performance under intense fluid stress inoculation was enhanced through neuro/physical state management techniques correlating to the body alarm response of the sympathetic nervous system. Enhanced improvement of reactionary time gaps, threat awareness, OODA loop theory, and rapid situationally dependent decision making prior, during, and after the body alarm response has given the team increased survivability.
Thank you for your commitment & dedication to our team to prevail over the most challenging adversity to protect and serve the people of our community.
