Founder of American Strength and Combat

Hi, I’m Ian Daube, the founder of American Strength and Combat. With over 26 years of experience in combat sports, my passion has driven me to create a platform where anyone can learn and thrive.

Throughout my career, I’ve seen firsthand the critical importance of mastering takedowns and controlling the standing position. These skills are the cornerstone of success in grappling and self-defense, and I am dedicated to sharing this knowledge with others.
