Sensei Gaven Rupert

Meet sensei Gaven Rupert

With over 20 years of martial arts experience, I have dedicated my life to realistic, effective training. I began in Bujinkan, earning a 5th Degree Black Belt and a 3rd Degree Black Belt in Budo Taijutsu. I also hold a 3rd Degree Black Belt in Kenpo Karate after more than 15 years of training under Grandmaster Mark Miller and 5-Time World Champion Jerry Roberts.

My background includes Ninjutsu, Aiki-ninjutsu, Hapkido, Taekwondo, Iaido, Judo, and Shootfighting. I am also a certified police tactics instructor, have coached multiple karate champions, and have led numerous women’s self-defense seminars.

I created a no-nonsense system that blends striking, grappling, joint locks, and throws β€” focused on practical self-defense and real results. My greatest achievement is helping my students grow, succeed, and reach their full potential.
