Master Combatives Instructor Eric Piper, president and founder of Piper Tactical Defense Systems

Eric Piper is a certified Master Instructor in Unarmed Combatives, as well as one of the few, hand-picked elite Close Quarter Combat Group Instructors of the Hocheim Group/Scientific Fighting Congress; you can look forward to professional, structured training in many areas of self-defense, without the bare feet, bowing to foreign flags, and wearing funky karate suits!
