The Cortés Defense System (CDS), is a self-defense system composed of mainly empty hand combat, judo, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, kali, physical conditioning, and soft skills. Our goal is to prepare CDS practitioners to effectively defend themselves against real-world attacks by developing their fighting skills, phycological readiness, and physical fitness.
Training Programs (Under Development)





Professional development must be continuous. Excited to integrate the knowledge and skills acquired into our curriculum. We know our students will benefit greatly.
