LEE MORRISON, founder of Urban Combatives
   If we could only recommend ONE instructor from whom to learn Combatives, it would be Lee Morrison of Urban Combatives in the UK.
   Though we are not officially affiliated with Mr. Morrison, we nevertheless have benefited enormously from his teaching through his books and videos, as have literally thousands of others throughout the world.
   We highly recommend you begin your Combatives self-protection journey with Lee’s teaching / training material.
