About

ALIVE!™ is a fighting system that prioritizes the use of weapons for personal defense. Using a contextual training methodology that builds skill fast, ALIVE!™ asserts that to learn to fight effectively one must fight an “alive” opponent early and often in training. ALIVE!™ was founded and trademarked in 2012 by Steve Miles as ALIVE! Gunfighting®, and in 2014 was broadened to incorporate knife, stick, improvised weapons, and empty hands skills into a single unified system. ALIVE!™ represents the fusion of Steve Miles’ military training expertise, martial arts, combatives training, and his combat experience. ALIVE!™ offers extraordinary personal defense training that produces extraordinary results.
