Jim formed Raw Combatives in 2004 to bring all of his experiences under one roof. From it's early days of being nothing more than a fight club where techniques and theories were tested to what it is today. It's a club where people can train in a safe, caring, fun filled environment where they learn not only great self protection skills and Eskrima, but also learn a lot about themselves and how to improve on who they are.
