Battle-Tested. Modern-Refined.

You deserve a safety system that works when it counts.

Our methods originate from Bill Underwood—a man who taught elite specialists how to defend themselves against larger, stronger opponents.

At Elevation650, we’ve updated Bill’s legendary Defendo system for the modern world. It’s faster to master, legally conscious, and built for the hectic pace of life today.

Beyond the physical, we prioritize the "soft skills" of situational awareness, giving you the quiet confidence to navigate any environment without fear.

Fear is Not a Requirement

Too many of us have already lived as victims. It’s time to change the narrative.

The bad guy wants you to stay busy, stay broke, and stay afraid. I find that unacceptable. My skillset is dedicated to one thing: breaking down every barrier that keeps you from being safe.

We treat self-defense as a mandatory life skill—not a luxury. If you think you can’t do this, reach out to us. We specialize in destroying obstacles so you can focus on your freedom.

Stop waiting. Start preparing.

A message from the heart.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of martial arts do you offer?

We don’t. What we teach isn’t an "art"—it’s a survival system. While martial arts are lifelong practices governed by rules and sportsmanship, we are the opposite. Because there are no rules in a crisis, our techniques are designed to be learned quickly and retained as pure instinct. You won’t win a trophy with what we teach, and this isn't boxer-cise. It is a HIGH-UTILITY SKILLSET designed to work when you are facing your worst-case scenario.

Do I need any prior experience to join your classes?

Absolutely not. We don't expect you to be an athlete or a fighter—that's what we're here to help you navigate. We’ve stripped away the "black belt" complexity so you can walk away from your first session with skills you can actually use. No experience, no equipment, no ego. Just come as you are.

What should I wear to my first class?

For your first class, wear comfortable athletic clothing and bring a water bottle.

How do I sign up for a membership or schedule a class?

Give us a text and we'll set up a day and time that works. The first session is always free.

Testimonials

Alex R

"We have some sketchy people that hang around our work. This is exactly what I needed."

-C

"I'm a Nurse, and anyone who knows what nurses go through knows what it means to feel afraid to simply go to work. The best thing about this is that I have the techniques but I don't even need to use them because all the other stuff works so well. Everybody needs this."

-Amy

"The value my family has gained is priceless!"
