Welcome to EASTSIDE COMBATIVES. We are located on the East Side of Lake Washington, serving Kirkland, Bothell and Bellevue with top quality Conflict Management, Crisis Resolution and Combatives training.
Managing Crisis and Resolving Conflict is a wide and varied subject. They require training on a variety of topics including communications, behavior recognition, deescalation, managing aggressive behavior and the physical skills to respond to violence. These skill sets are often referred to as soft and hard skills.
Soft skills are used when communications are occurring, attempting to control escalation of an event and trying to find common ground and agreement on something to bring about cooperation and resolution to a problem.
Hard skills are the physical skills required to resolve a conflict that has gone beyond communications and requires some form of combative skills to respond to an attack or control a violent individual.
Ideally being trained in both soft and hard skills provides a person with the advantage as they can work at varied levels in communications and physical response controlling a myriad of situations.
At EastSide Combatives we strive to provide the highest quality Conflict Management, Crisis Resolution and Combatives programs in real world skills for Personal Protection, Self Defense and resolving conflicts.
To protect oneself and others is a noble undertaking.
