Advanced Self-Defense Concepts

NEW YEARS SPECIAL

To commemorate 2023, for the month of January ASD will be offering full access to new sign-ups for $129 a month.

New students will gain access to the following classes:

FORGED CONCEPTS
Forged Concepts explores areas of boxing, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Catch wrestling, Kali and Kung-fu San Soo. The class investigates the specialized elements of each discipline and combines the concepts in an overall class in order to make the practitioner "well-rounded" and versed in the understanding of the skillsets that are needed in combat for defending oneself.

DNA FIGHT SCIENCE
Defence Lab's DNA Fight Science is based on human primal instinctual body reaction not a traditional or historical martial art. Defence Lab is a system not limited or restricted in anyway. Rather, it is an incredibly open-minded and free thinking combat system based on reality and forever developing, adjusting and evolving with its surroundings.

LIBRE KNIFE FIGHTING
The Libre Knife Fighting System is a brutal and aggressive form of knife combatives that has established over seventy training groups in seventeen countries. Developed with current real-world endemics in mind, and refined with feedback from practitioner's actual bladed altercations, the Libre Knife Fighting System has evolved into one of the most unique and effective knife-based systems in existence.

ASD is asking for help in funding a FREE self-defense workshop for women. If you can can provide any sort of donation, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, my name is Jarrad Arbuckle. I am the founder and chief instructor of Advanced Self-defense Concepts, a self-defense/martial arts academy located in the Inland Empire geared to the education and understanding of "real-world violence" as well as giving individuals the skillsets needed to defend themselves from it.

When starting ASD, the original idea was to create a forum for growth and investigation, not only geared to teaching individuals but also to become a collective of shared knowledge where we as a whole can help better each other and prosper.

Self-defense is a fundamental human right for all of us, and we feel incredibly passionate about sharing the truthful and honest education about it, especially to those that are more susceptible to being a target of violence.

ASD Concepts is asking for your help to provide funding for a free-of-charge workshop for 20 participants who may not be able to have the means to pay for instruction otherwise.

With your funding, you will helping these women learn fundamentals in combatives, the use of force multipliers, de-escalation, situational awareness, risk assessment and risk management. Also, with this funding, you will be allowing ASD to continue to offer these workshops, making this information and training more widely available to the public.

ASD is looking for 6-8 capable young adults(18-30 yrs old)that I will instruct and train with over the course of the next 4 months in specialized combatives training. Must be willing to commit to at the very least 4 days of training a week.

“The Tyro Castra program is designed to train a group of individuals in the fundamentals of ASD disciplines in the span of 4 months. Students will be trained in understanding the basics of a multitude of styles including boxing, Muay Thai, wrestling, grappling, kung-fu, as well as more progressive systems such as Libre Knife Fighting and Defence Lab.

Applicants will be screened beforehand to ensure an appropriate fit for the course. Students MUST attend at least 4 classes a week throughout the course of this program. Live energy drills, sparring, and scenario-based training will be introduced during the course to test student competency and understanding of program concepts and methodologies.

Program objectives include knowledge of fundamental concepts, exceptional demonstration of basic skills and abilities in each discipline, as well as the ability to train others in fundamentals. At the conclusion of the course, students will be tested in these focus areas and awarded a certificate upon completion. DM if interested

Thank you to Sensei Ty Aponte of Defense Arts Center for inviting me to come as a guest instructor and share the art of Kali at his self-defense class at the university of La Verne.

It has been a great honor and privilege to have been able to teach these two young men. It was both and his brother Ty’s last day here this Friday as they move out of state.
These two were one of the most dedicated students I have ever had. Day in and day out they gave me their all regardless with how hard I pushed them. In the course of not even two years I watched these two grow immensely. Not just in martial arts… but as people. Which tells me I did something right….
They will be truly missed here at ASD.

Huge thank you to and for the Ghost Fighter T-shirt. is a phenomenal stand-up striking system that I very much endorse training in for combat sports.
