About SafeGuard Combatives
Our Philosophy
At its core, Combatives and Self Defense is about making decisions about what you will accept in your sphere of influence. We believe that “being safe” is an action. It takes careful considerations of your physical, emotional and spiritual capacity in efforts to mitigate risk to yourself, your loved ones and the people you are responsible for.
The requirements are simple. Be willing to do something. And that starts with simple conversations and ends with acting in your own self defense scenario or a situation where someone else needs your help. The modality in which we drill is simplified to the point where we only have a handful of responses. And each of those are of varying degrees of violence.
Founder & Lead Instructor
Ken Egan
Having gotten his start in Safety Programing at the University of Hartford while in Graduate School, Ken developed an intense need to serve his community by organizing Safety Based events with the school. After moving back to New York, he started training with other people in the Self Defense/Jiu-jitsu/Combatives community. After years of training with and alongside these training partners, he established a small but loyal group of like-minded individuals who all shared the same passion.
