Our Journey & Growth

The founder, Craig Burman established Close Quarter Street Combat in 1995 in Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia.

He started Boxing when he was 8yrs old, then over the next 2 decades trained in many different Martial Arts and Combat Arts.

The original name of the school was CBK Street Combat.

In 2003 the name was updated to Close Quarter Street Combat as it accurately defines the type of self defence taught.

Over the next 2 decades he continued to train with many different Reality Based Self Defence systems and Masters here and abroad.

We train and continue to test our Counter Attack Strategies & Tactics in Scenario Drills, over & over to ensure the best outcomes.

WHAT IS THE DRAGON SYSTEM?

The Dragon System is Reality-based self-defence that works under stress.

With violence continuing to rise, random attacks are no longer rare.

The question is not if something could happen - but whether you’re prepared when seconds matter.

Founder Craig Burman saw the gap—traditional martial arts were too slow, too complicated and too unrealistic for the threats people face today. Corporate men, business owners and first responders needed a system that was fast, direct and built for adrenaline.

So he created a program that strips away everything unnecessary and focuses only on what works under pressure. A system that takes a busy professional and turns them into someone capable, confident and combat-effective in hours - not years.

Executive Combatives exists to empower those who carry responsibility: for their businesses, their teams, their partners and their families. When the moment comes, hesitation kills. Skill saves.

This is training for people who don’t have time to waste - but refuse to be victims.

Mission Statement

To deliver elite, reality-ready self-defence training that empowers professionals and first responders with Tier-1 skills—fast, efficiently and with absolute reliability under pressure.

The Dragon System™ was built on a simple truth: Avoidance is strength. But when avoidance fails, decisive action saves lives. We do not train aggression. We train judgement. We do not seek conflict. We prepare for responsibility.

Who's it designed for?
Executive Combatives Training is Private Lessons, designed for Executives, Business Professionals, First Responders, Nurses, Teachers, Retail Staff and Parents who want real-world personal protection - fast!

Everyone here, whether an everyday individual or a professional - carries something worth protecting. Family. Community. Responsibility.

Led by Master Coach Craig Burman, Founder of CQSC (Close Quarter Street Combat) and Australia’s National Pressure Points Combatives Coach.

Situation Awareness before Action

We respect your time;
* No belts

* No gradings

Just elite, practical skills that prepare you for real violence - not the gym.

Ask yourself this:
If something happened today...… would you be ready to respond?

Your family doesn’t need you to be brave.
They need you to be prepared.
Because when it matters most — you are their First Responder.

It's better to know and not need, than to need and not know!

We are certified in Street Self Defence and committed to high training standards. Our confidence in the effectiveness of our program is reflected in our money-back guarantee.
