A retired Navy SEAL with 20+ years of combat experience, Randy blends Jiu-Jitsu and situational techniques to teach practical skills for high-stress scenarios--hand-to-hand combat, firearms training, and situational awareness. His patient yet firm teaching ensures everyone, from beginners to pros, masters each move. Partnered with Justin Jiu Jitsu Academy, his intense, supportive classes build confidence.

Randy is a true professional and expert at his craft. I took his inaugural AWC Level 1 course in which he taught grappling, striking, and weapons defense over the course of several months. Although I have a background in Brazilian jiu jitsu, this was my first foray into the world of combatives, and it was awesome. I couldn't have asked for a more passionate, knowledgeable, and effective instructor than Randy. Our classes had a mix of experienced athletes and novices from a variety of backgrounds. So no matter your skill level or prior experience in martial arts, Randy has something to offer. What impressed me most about Randy was his ability to bring together so many different styles and schools of martial arts and teach in a patient, encouraging, and practical manner. I highly recommend seeking his instruction! read more

Over the last couples of years, I have taken several courses from AWC. They've ranged from combatives and self-defense to combat pistol classes. The instruction is very organized and detailed and is appropriate for all levels of students. The classes I attended had a mix of students from law enforcement, martial arts and just regular folks wanting to learn these valuable techniques. They were also a mix of men, women, and young adults. I'm a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt, and found the classes invaluable, and some of the concepts taught by AWC applicable to to my teaching of Jiu Jitsu. The courses are taught by Randy, a former Navy SEAL and Navy SEAL combatives instructor in an extremely professional and fun manner. The instruction doesn't get better than this. read more

I can personally recommend Randy at American Warrior Combatives. He and his team helped give both my daughter and myself the skills to fight off any attacker and get away to safety! Highly recommended for girls heading off to college or living on their own, as well as for moms just making that random trip to the grocery store or mall. read more

Great organization if you want to increase your awareness level (and odds of survival) in a home defense or personal defense type situation. Randy is a true professional and passionate about what he does - highly highly recommended!!! read more

I have learned practical and functional self defense techniques from Randy and his instructors through his American Warrior Combatives (ACW) program. I have been attending AWC self defense classes since Fall 2018. Every time I take a class, I walk away with practice, knowledge and with confidence that I can use the movements and techniques if I need to. Randy and his instructors take the time to: explain the movements; explain how they are applicable in various situations; demonstrates the movements; and answers student questions and concerns. Being able to learn and practice with Randy and his team has been an honor and great learning experience. read more

I have not had the chance to come be a part of the program at American Warrior Combatives but I have had the opportunity to work with Randy and he is definitely an expert in this field. He is a super nice guy and a model example of what we all should strive to be. I look forward to having the opportunity to train with him. I would whole heartedly trust him to train not only myself but my wife and Children. read more

The complete AWC Combatives course I took led by Randy Rozzell was a great experience. Randy's credentials are unparalleled- as the former Combatives instructor for US Navy SEALS , there isn't much more you need to add (he is also currently a BJJ purple belt whom I've trained with the past few years). I was most impressed by the practicality of what we learned in addition to Randy's attention to detail and patience in teaching. I've trained in Brazilian jiu-jitsu for well over a decade and in more stand up, self defense oriented Japanese jiu-Jitsu prior to that and what I learned from the Combatives courses was invaluable and things I will no doubt remember. Why? Because they are not overly complicated, make sense, build off of basic concepts, and we drilled them with protective gear on with speed and aggression (but safely). I highly recommend American Warrior Combatives and Randy as its head instructor. read more

Randy Rozell and his American Warrior Combatives program is the most comprehensive effective program you can find. Over the past 15 years I have dabbled in a variety of martial arts (Karate, Muay Thai, Jui Jitsu, Krav Maga) with the ultimate goal of learning to defend myself in a real life situation. What I realized is that the martial has been lost in all of today's martial arts. They have all been turned into a sport and lost their original intent of training individual's how to get out of a real life live or die situation. Randy's program focuses on techniques to arm the average individual with very effective tools they can utilize in any situation to not only ward off an attacker, but subdue them if necessary. What makes Randy and his program unique is his background. Randy was a Navy Seal and after being deployed realized the training in place was not adequate for the situations he and his team had to face. He set out to develop a new more comprehensive program. He has taken the most effective techniques from a variety of styles and blended them together to form a very effective style of self-defense. What is unique about this style is it has been pressure tested in real life situations by Randy and his fellow seals. It is currently still what is taught to the Seal's at Coronado. Randy is a great teacher as well. He provides easy to understand instruction while explaining the what and why of what he is teaching. He begins with the basics and buildings upon each new move to equip you with a full foundation. This includes standing, ground, evade, engage, open area, wall work and situation assessment. It is an invaluable course for woman who are looking to learn how to defend themselves. Randy has put together training specifically for the situations woman may find themselves in. Because of this my wife now asks what I learned after a lesson because she wants to know the tools she can deploy. I signed up for a 10 week initial program with Randy and left after our first hour of instruction with a new situational awareness I had not had before. If you are looking for an arsenal that has been developed for real life situations Randy's program is the first and last place you need to go. read more

A great place to learn combatives from a very knowledgeable instructor. Randy structures the classes for all learning types. From the novice to the martial arts practitioner there is always something to learn. If you're looking to learn straightforward techniques to defend yourself and those you love them this is a great place to get started. read more

I have been taking American Warrior Combatives self-defense course for 4 months. There are two things that stand out about the experience. First, Randy is an honest, decent person, the kind of person you want to be around. He always wants to do the right thing. Second, the training he provides is based on real combat experience from someone that has truly 'been there and done that.' Unlike martial arts which can have an element of flashiness or showmanship or sport, Randy provides techniques that are 'down to earth' and proven to be effective. He works hard to make sure his students get the training and preparation that they seek. For those looking to develop serious self-defense skills, I highly recommend training with Randy read more
