Brandon Clifford
Brandon Clifford, Head instructor and founder of Krav Maga Combatives has over 30 years experience in fighting arts. Beginning with Tae Kwon Do at 8 years old and moving on to, in order, Shotokan Karate, Aki no jitsu, Kickboxing, Western Boxing, Ninjitsu, Brazilian ju jitsu, Muay Thai, Submission wrestling and MMA (Mixed Martial Arts).
Brandon is one of the few Krav Maga coaches outside of Israel that has had a career that involves the application of defensive tactics on an almost daily basis.
Having a long career in the protective industries put these fighting styles to the test, Brandon began working as a doorman or "bouncer" at 17 years old, and soon found out that many traditional styles have little use in a streetfight.
This career choice along with a stint as a riot squad prison officer and a ten year career as a professional bodyguard shaped Krav Maga Combatives into what it is today - a pressure tested real world fighting system.
Along with Krav Maga Combatives, Brandon also runs a Close protection Operations training company,
Intelligent Security Training, with training facilities throughout Europe, providing bespoke executive protection training to British S.I.A standards and beyond to ex-military and civilians from all over the world.
