Tactical Self-Defense Instructor - COBRA™ Self-Defense Systems
The COBRA™ (Combat Objective Battle Ready Applications) system is a modern, reality-based self-defense program that integrates both law enforcement and combat experience, making it suitable for individuals of all ages and fitness levels. Unlike sport-based systems, this curriculum emphasizes the psychology of a predator and the physiological responses to high-stress situations.
Join Michael Alban, a martial arts and self-defense instructor with over 20 years of experience, as he teaches students to utilize situational awareness, verbal de-escalation, and "non-telegraphed" strikes to neutralize threats quickly and escape.
Your Instructor
Michael Alban
I have been involved in the martial arts for 20 years. I hold a 4th Dan Black Belt in Taekwondo. Between 2002 - 2021, I operated my own studio in Rochelle Park, New Jersey. Now that I am located in Texas, I am offering my services as a personal self-defense trainer and Muay Thai/Kickboxing for individuals, families, and small groups. I also offer seminars for businesses, schools, churches, and other organizations. As a COBRA Instructor, I am able to teach a variety of COBRA courses such as Active Shooter Response Plan, Child Abduction Prevention, and Real Estate Agent Safety Training.
