Progressive Combat Systems

read moreProgressive Combat Systems, located in Aurora, is Colorado's premiere Jeet Kune Do school. At Progressive Combat Systems we are not bogged down by tradition or style but rather we will train you to be able to deal with any real-life violent encounter that you may need to defend yourself, friends or family from. Jeet Kune Do is a phrase created by the late Bruce Lee to describe his concept of martial arts. Jeet Kune Do (or JKD for short) is not a style but rather a concept or principle that states that one should be doing the most efficient and effective thing to accomplish the task at hand, which in our case is self-defense against real violence.

read moreSelf defense training with Brian Copeland is much more enjoyable, realistic and retainable than any other course I've had. He teaches basic defense maneuvers that are easy to remember and effective, as opposed to other that require lots of practice to "stay current." Thank you for the excellent training you administered during my Flight Crewmember Self Defense Course. I found your instruction very useful and informative. This program was very well put together and I felt it was tailored brilliantly for real world flight crew self defense.

read moreI wanted to be able to truly defend myself and build upon my Krav Maga training, and of course, have fun in the process. I am now much more aware and confident. Despite the subject material the training was never uncomfortable, it was very enjoyable and informative. Brian is a very good instructor and is able to teach a lot in a very short amount of time. I especially like that the moves we learned were very simple and easy to remember and perform. I acquired the basic knowledge for defending myself; how to be alert, prepared, how to use a weapon and how to look out for my surroundings.

read moreA gym that focuses on self defense for the real world. The methods are sensible with an instructor happy to help you perfect your technique and style. Excellent environment with fellow students who are all there to learn. The instructor is clearly competent and can ably answer questions and not just with a "this is the style" but with an actual reason why something makes sense. This is a great place to learn how to protect yourself and others. I love this class because it's based on how to react to real world danger that most of us are completely unprepared for.

You can email or call and I (Brian) will get back to you ASAP. Visit my contact page to get in touch with me. FYI - I am very good about replying to emails, if I haven't gotten back to you in a day or two then the email gremlins have stolen your email, feel free to leave me a voicemail and I'll call you back. First off I never throw people under the bus and expect them to be good at martial arts right off the bat.

read moreIt is my personal vision to bring realistic, practical and readily applicable combative martial arts to the good men and women of this world. To help them stand against the darkness, the bullies, the terrorists, the kidnappers, the rapists, the evil people who would steal your liberty, safety and peace of mind. It is my personal experience that through the practice of purposeful violence via combative martial arts, you can learn to develop a sense of security, confidence and boldness to live your life as a free man or woman and at the same time become a more peaceful person.
