About Us – Combatives360

Combatives360 is a specialist self-defence and personal security training consultancy founded in 2018. Built on real-world experience from military, law enforcement, and operational security sectors, we deliver high-impact, scenario-based training that equips individuals and teams to confidently manage physical threats in the real world.

Our Mission

To empower professionals and civilians with the mindset, skills, and tactics to protect themselves and others — without gimmicks, without fluff, and without compromise.

Whether you face workplace confrontation, unpredictable environments, or simply want to feel more prepared in your everyday life — Combatives360 gives you the tools to respond effectively.

Who We Work With

Our training is tailored for:

  • Police and emergency services
  • Security personnel and close protection officers
  • Teachers, social workers, and frontline staff
  • Military and ex-forces
  • Professionals, parents, and everyday civilians

If you or your team face potential violence or confrontation in any capacity, we train you to respond with control, precision, and resilience.

What Makes Us Different?

  • Real-World Experience: Our instructors are former Royal Marines, private military contractors, and operational protection professionals — not theorists.
  • Pressure-Tested Methods: We blend functional techniques from BJJ, Jeet Kune Do, Pekiti Tirsia Kali, and Rapid Assault Tactics for real-world application.
  • Tailored Delivery: We adapt each course to your environment, role, and risk profile — from boardroom to back alley.
  • No Ego. No Nonsense. Just Effective Training.

Why It Matters

Violence is fast, chaotic, and unforgiving. In those critical moments, you won’t rise to the level of your expectations — you’ll fall to the level of your training. That’s why we focus on simplicity, mindset, and pressure-tested systems that work under stress.

Based in the Southwest. Training Delivered Nationwide.

Combatives360 is based in the Southwest of England, but we deliver courses across the UK — on-site, at events, or in dedicated training spaces.

"Mark Tucker has a huge amount of combat experience, ranging from service with the elite Royal Marines Commandos, a professional mixed-martial-arts career, and security consultancy in the Middle-East. Decades of martial arts study under some of the world's greatest instructors, plus his extraordinary exposure to hostile environments and violence, has enabled him to develop his authentic Combatives 360 programme. Mark's passion for the fighting arts is only matched by his passion for teaching them to others and the development of his students. Using concepts and techniques that are both realistic and easy to follow, Combatives 360 is essential for anyone that wants to best prepare themselves for violent confrontation." 

Steve Brown - Former Paratrooper, Pathfinder, and SERE Combatives instructor. 

 

"I have known Mark Tucker for many years now. I am continually impressed by his straight forward look at martial art. His ability to see lines of attack and defence is at a very high level. If you get the chance to train with him, you will be impressed with his grasp of progressive training methods. Mark has the ability and credentials to train the whole spectrum of combat science, Military, Law Enforcement, Self Defence and martial art classes of all kinds for regular citizens. His humour is a big help in the learning process. There are very few world-wide in his class. Practical, learnable and fun. Truly one of the best in the MKG Family."     

Rick Faye - Founder MKG International 

"I have had the pleasure of knowing Mark Tucker for the best part of 20 years through the martial arts and within the MMA competition circuit. Mark also has a very credible military background. Recently I attended his Combatives 360 CQB program and was very impressed with his professional approach and delivery of this unique course. Marks knowledge and real time experience was evident within the content and practical applications which progressed throughout the day. Mark has done an outstanding job in putting together a very detailed relevant course which I highly recommend."
