Background & Experience
Aaron Davis
Head Instructor — C360 Protector Southampton
Aaron Davis is the owner and Head Instructor of MKG Southampton — one of the most respected Filipino Martial Arts and combatives training centres in the South of England. With decades of training under some of the most credentialed instructors in the world, Aaron brings an exceptionally broad and deep skill set to every session he teaches.
As UK & Europe Regional Director for MKG International, Aaron operates within the lineage of Guro Rick Faye and Guro Dan Inosanto — a direct connection to the legendary Bruce Lee and the foundations of Jeet Kune Do. His Filipino Martial Arts credentials include Level 3 MKG Kali under Guro Rick Faye and the rank of Magtutudlo in De Campo 1-2-3, one of the most combat-proven edged weapons systems in the Filipino martial arts canon.
In the realm of Pekiti Tirsia Kali, Aaron holds the rank of Lakan Tatlo — earned directly under Mark Tucker of C360 Protector. This lineage places him within the authentic PTK teaching chain, with the skills and authority to pass on this highly effective system to the next generation of practitioners.
Aaron is a BJJ Brown Belt under Mark Tucker, with 30+ years of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu heritage behind that certification. His ground game reflects the same real-world, practically minded approach that defines the C360 curriculum — no sport competition, no unnecessary complexity. Ground survival and positional control that works under pressure.
Aaron is also a certified Rapid Assault Tactics instructor under Mark Tucker — the same progressive fighting system originally developed by Paul Vunak for the United States Navy SEALs. This certification adds a devastating close-quarters striking and finishing system to an already formidable skill set, making Aaron one of the most comprehensively trained combatives instructors in the South of England.
As South of England Regional Director for Combatives360, Aaron holds Full Instructor certification and delivers the complete C360 Protector curriculum to students across Hampshire and the wider South of England. His BTEC Level 3 in Self Defence underpins his formal teaching qualification, and he is fully DBS checked.
