— THE C360 PHILOSOPHY
AWARENESS. PREPAREDNESS. RESPONSE.
"You don't rise to the level of your expectations. You fall to the level of your training."
AWARENESS
The greatest self-defence skill is not physical. It is awareness. We train you to read environments, recognise pre-incident indicators, understand criminal behaviour, and make sound decisions before a threat escalates into violence.
PREPAREDNESS
Physical skills, tactical knowledge, and the right mindset don’t appear when you need them. They emerge from deliberate, systematic training. C360 builds your capability across 8 disciplines drawn from elite military and operational real-world experience.
RESPONSE
When the threatening arrives, the mind and body must function, not freeze. C360 conditioning builds decisive, effective response, whether creating distance, controlling a threat, or managing a trauma casualty.

— ENDORSED BY THE BEST
STEVE BROWN
Former Pathfinders Sergeant Major & Former SERE Training Warrant Officer
Mark Tucker has vast personal experience in both armed and unarmed combat, and this is clearly evident in the way he trains and teaches.
As a former Royal Marine Commando, doorman, close protection officer, and professional mixed martial artist, Mark understands the realities and complexities of fighting at a level few instructors ever reach.
Rather than teaching “the way,” Mark’s depth of knowledge and adaptability allow him to teach students “a way” one that suits their individual strengths, weaknesses, and abilities.
After 15 years of training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, I discovered Mark’s school in Liskeard and learned more in a two-hour private session than I had in the previous five years.
I had also trained in military combatives for many years with elite forces from around the world before meeting Mark, but I had never met anyone able to blend the concepts of hand-to-hand fighting, combat sports, and weapons-based training with such clarity and proficiency.
Mark is an encyclopaedia of martial arts.
RICK FAYE
Founder MKG International, Senior Student of Guro Dan Inosanto
I have known Mark Tucker for many years now. I am constantly impressed by his straight forward look at martial arts. His ability to see lines of attack and defence is at a very high level. If you get the chance to train with him, you will be impressed with his grasp of progressive training methods. Mark has the ability and credentials to train the whole spectrum of combat science, military, law-enforcement, self-defence and martial arts classes of all kinds for regular citizens. His humour is a big help in the learning process. There are very few worldwide in his class. Practical, learnable and fun.
Truly one of the best in the MKG family.
PAUL VUNAK
Founder, Progressive Fighting Systems & Rapid Assault Tactics
I have known and worked with Mark Tucker for well over a decade, and I can say without hesitation that he is one of the finest instructors I have had the privilege of certifying in both Progressive Fighting Systems and Rapid Assault Tactics the close-quarters combat system I developed for the United States Navy SEALs, a curriculum I do not entrust to anyone lightly. Mark earned that certification the hard way, through years of disciplined, focused training that went far beyond the technical; he developed a genuine understanding of the principles that make these systems work in the real world, under real pressure, against a resisting opponent. What makes him exceptional as an instructor is the rare combination of physical ability and the gift of communication he can break down complex material clearly, read his students instinctively, and push them to levels they did not think possible, all while conducting himself with the kind of integrity and humility that this field demands. I have watched Mark handle difficult students, high-pressure environments, and challenging circumstances with the composure of someone who has truly internalised what martial arts training is about, and in every case he has represented himself, and the systems he teaches, with distinction.
— WHAT STUDENTS SAY
REAL PEOPLE. REAL RESULTS.
From complete beginners to security professionals here is what students say after training with C360 Protector.
“I’ve attended a number of self-defence courses over the years, but C360 Protector is on a completely different level. This isn’t about flashy techniques it’s about understanding violence, recognising danger early, making good decisions under pressure, and having simple, effective skills that work in the real world. I left with increased confidence, greater situational awareness, and practical skills that I hope I never have to use but I’m grateful to have them if I ever do. I would recommend C360 Protector to anyone who values their personal safety.”
British Army Southampton
“As a teacher, the safety of both myself and my students is always at the forefront of my mind. The C360 Protector course gave me practical, realistic strategies that I can apply both inside and outside the classroom. The emphasis on awareness, communication, de-escalation, and personal safety was invaluable. I came away feeling more confident, better prepared, and with skills that I hope I’ll never need but I’m glad to have. I would highly recommend C360 Protector to anyone working in education.”
School Teacher Cornwall
“C360 Protector delivers practical, no-nonsense self-protection training that focuses on what really matters awareness, decision-making, and simple, effective skills. Mark’s experience and teaching style make complex concepts easy to understand, creating a course that is both engaging and highly relevant. I left feeling more confident, more aware, and far better prepared to deal with real-world situations. Highly recommended.”
SIA Security Professional
“After training at C360 for the last 9 years I have developed not only confidence in the ability to keep myself safe but the ability to keep others around me such as loved ones safe whilst eliminating any threat. Mark and the team at C360 offer the best support to each and every person who steps into the gym whilst also helping to develop people’s understanding of the arts if you have a question they answer it and if they don’t know the answer they go out of their way to find the best answer for you. My favourite part about training at C360 is that the training feels real; when sparring we do things with the same intention and intensity we would do it in the streets yet no one ever gets hurt. That to me says that this gym is built around having respect for one another.”
Kacey 9 Years — C360 Student
“Mark’s influence and coaching has had a massive impact on my life from the second I met him 18 years ago. The life skills along with the martial arts development are responsible for the person I am today. Meeting Mark when I was 15 years old was life changing martial arts and Mark’s guidance, coaching and mentoring kept me on the right path in life and led us to do some incredible things together in the MMA world.”
MMA Student 18 Years — C360 Student
“I’ve had the privilege of training under my head coach Mark for the past 13 years, and I can honestly say it’s had a huge impact on my martial arts journey. His knowledge, patience, and dedication are second to none, and taking experience from the military he leads by example. He has built not only some of the most skilled fighters in the South West but also a strong, supportive team. I’m incredibly grateful to have been taught by Mark after all these years and would recommend him to anyone looking to train at the highest level.”
Chris MMA Fighter · BJJ Black Belt · Former Royal Marine · 13 Years C360
“Mark Tucker is easily one of my absolute favourite seminar instructors of all time. As a martial artist myself with 42 years of experience in multiple styles, his vast knowledge, life experiences and fantastic approach to teaching always leave me walking away with so much new insight. To women and men everywhere: you need to look into his courses. It is so much more than just situational awareness. It’s practical, direct and extremely effective.”
