About Us

Founded in 2025, T1 Combatives is dedicated to delivering specialised, reality-based training solutions for front-line professionals operating in high-risk environments. With a background in developing and refining Close Quarter Tactics for Singapore’s SAF Special Forces, T1 Combatives combines combat-proven methodologies with a mission-focused mindset.

Our program integrates essential elements from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Wrestling, Krav Maga, and striking systems—not for sport, but for tactical effectiveness in real-world scenarios involving arrests, close protection, and weapons-based confrontations. Grappling is a key focus due to its critical role in controlling threats in confined or weapon-rich environments, but we maintain a full-spectrum approach that includes strikes, weapon retention, and non-lethal force applications.

While we are not a sport-based program, we do adopt key training methodologies from combat sports—such as sparring and free rolling—to provide trainees with the pressure, timing, and resistance needed to test and refine techniques. These practices are carefully structured to simulate combat stress in the safest and most controlled way possible, ensuring skill transfer under pressure without compromising safety.

T1 Combatives is also endorsed and aligned with Kinetic Fighting – Integrated Combat, the world-leading tactical combatives system developed by Paul Cale, founder of the Australian Army Combatives Program. This partnership strengthens our foundation with globally validated systems used by military and law enforcement agencies across Australia, New Zealand, and beyond.

More than just individual skills, we train professionals to operate effectively within team-based tactical frameworks—tailoring programs to meet the specific operational needs, mission profiles, and environments of each client.

Our mission is to deliver elite combatives, firearms, and security training that bridges the gap between our special forces experience, self-defence knowledge, and combat sports expertise. We provide cutting-edge, customisable solutions for government agencies, law enforcement, corporations, and civilians, ensuring they are equipped to handle high-stakes threats with confidence, precision, and tactical superiority. 

Our vision is to become the gold standard for tactical and combatives training in Singapore and beyond. By leveraging our special forces expertise and mastery of self-defense and combat sports, we aim to redefine the global benchmark for security, self-defense, and operational readiness, empowering our clients to excel in the most demanding environments.
