Small-group, qualification-based training with Joseph Edmondson for experienced students and professionals who need more than fundamentals. Advanced application, decision-making under pressure, weapons problems, multiple threats, ground survival, and the judgment to know when not to engage.
Elite is built for people who have moved past fundamentals and need training that looks like the problems they may actually face: fast recognition, managing distance, deciding whether to disengage, control, or strike, and moving or protecting another person while it happens.
That capability does not come from theory. It comes from applying skills under pressure, over and over, with a coach who has spent more than thirty years in security and executive protection and who instructs defensive tactics and firearms for people whose job is to protect others.
You learn to make decisions under stress and take responsibility when it counts. That control does not stay on the training floor.
Joseph Edmondson holds a 4th-degree Krav Maga black belt under GM Itay Gil, has spent more than 30 years in security and executive protection, instructs defensive tactics and firearms for people whose job is to protect others, and is a Force Science Certified Analyst. Those credentials are why Elite is built around judgment and application, not performance for show.
Recognize the problem, manage distance, and choose whether to disengage, control, strike, access tools, move another person, or leave. Advanced training should improve judgment as much as technique.
Reading pre-attack indicators, managing space, and buying the time that turns a bad situation into a manageable one.
Knowing how to strike is one thing. Knowing when to strike, when to control, and when to leave is what advanced training is for.
Defenses against edged and blunt weapons and firearm threats, plus decisions about accessing your own tools where the curriculum and the law allow. Most systems ignore weapons entirely. We do not.
Controlling a threat is harder when someone you are responsible for is standing next to you. You train to protect, move, and get them out.
What to do when the fight goes to the ground or when there is more than one problem in front of you, trained together because that is how real encounters unfold.
Everything above applied under pressure in realistic scenarios, with awareness and conditioning built in rather than bolted on.
