About Chris Sutton

Chris Sutton

Chris' extensive martial arts training as well as his law enforcement experience dealing with real criminals have given him highly unique insights into the reality of self-defense. Chris has used this expertise to create the acclaimed C.O.B.R.A.™ reality-based self-defense system, as well as influencing his other martial arts programs, fitness programs & books.

Chris trained in the Chinese Martial Art system earning Black Belts in Aikido, Kung Fu, Jujitsu and Karate. After many years in that system Chris began to learn under World Champion Kick Boxer Jim Graden, with further influence from the legendary champion Joe Lewis in the Elite Kickboxing System earning another Black Belt.
