NEXTLEVEL COMBATIVES
EVX's signature program. Striking, grappling, and defensive tactics integrated into one principle-driven system.
Program Overview
NextLevel Combatives is a modern budo-based approach to real-world self-defense. Rather than separating martial art styles, it integrates striking, grappling, control, and defensive tactics into a cohesive, principle-driven system — built on Cognitive Behavioral Methods (CBM), psychological resilience, and stress-adapted training.
CBM at EVX is the practical application of established behavioral science to how we teach, how students build habits, and how skill development is structured inside the school. This is what separates EVX from programs that teach technique in isolation.
By blending traditional martial wisdom with modern combative science, NextLevel Combatives gives students the awareness, adaptability, and control to defend themselves with confidence and integrity.
One System. Every Range.
Striking
Punches, kicks, elbows, and knees drawn from Okinawan Karate and Kyokushin. Learn distance management and combination structure.
Joint Locks
Wrist locks, arm bars, and pressure point techniques from Small Circle Jujitsu. Control a threat without escalating to lethal force.
