Why C.O.B.R.A. Defense International?
C.O.B.R.A. International is on a mission. Our mission is to change how the public views Self Defense. C.O.B.R.A. Founder, Chris Sutton refers to this as "Thinking Outside the Gi". C.O.B.R.A. Self Defense was borne from Law Enforcement. Mr. Sutton was a Sheriff's Deputy, a corrections officer, a drill instructor, as well as a martial artist. The skills he learned in the police academy are the ones he brings to C.O.B.R.A. Self Defense.
The techniques taught are not the typical "theory-based" but rather selected from the reality-based training and field experience of Law Enforcement. The training format is market-friendly and highly effective, using the same model LEO agencies around the world use to train individuals from all walks of life. The legitimacy of our physical curriculum is complimented even further by our overall business system. The resources and structure of our turn-key business system propel many to revenue and income levels they'd not previously experienced.
It is not a requirement that candidates have a background in self-defense, martial arts, law enforcement, military, or any combatives systems. This exciting business platform comes with a certification in our global organization, and a complete turn-key business platform that anyone can learn, teach and develop an excellent income with.
