Services
Self-Defense Training
Practical self-defense training suitable for all ages, emphasizing situational awareness, defensive tactics, and confidence-building. All of the techniques and principles are ju-jitsu based and geared toward the most common situations. Combatives is our beginners' course for when running away is not possible. A good friend once told me, in a fight be the one on top, have guard they cannot pass, or get back on top. This course is designed to do just that. Right now, all classes are for ages 13 and above.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Classes
Comprehensive Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes for all skill levels, focusing on techniques, sparring, and progression. Once added, this program will include the use of traditional Gi training. Master classes will be restricted to members with validated blue belt or higher in reputable BJJ training facilities or successful completion of the WTx Combatives course.
Responder / Military
We offer practical training for law enforcement, military, corrections, and other responders. The training days are restricted to emergency and military personal. The training will focus on weapon retention, suspect apprehension, and two "officer" combative techniques. All of this is included with standard monthly membership. Presentation of department or service ID will be required prior to training.
Our Beginning
Owner and Instructor Jerimie Fry began his career in law enforcement in 2008, where he is currently serving as a full-time deputy and defensive tactics instructor. During this time, Jerimie Fry and other deputies recognized the short comings in hand-to-hand combat training. With proper motivation to make a positive change in our own local law enforcement training, Jerimie Fry began training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. We learned there is a need for a training environment specializing in self-defense techniques suitable for most every situation. Thus, the idea for West Texas Combatives was born.
