Professionalizing combat sports operations through rigorous compliance, employment policy, privacy, AI governance, and liability mitigation. The structural stability your gym, promotion, or federation needs to survive the next round of growth.
One lawsuit. One scandal. One preventable injury. One outbreak. That's often all it takes to damage years of trust.
Combat Integrity Group helps organizations build the systems that prevent problems before they become crises — and respond like professionals when they don't.
Attorney-led · USC LL.M. Privacy & Cybersecurity · BJJ Black Belt
Combat Integrity Group is led by attorneys whose legal services span employment law, internal investigations, risk management, privacy, AI governance, and public-sector compliance — paired with firsthand experience inside combat sports.
We have represented employers, advised government agencies, conducted investigations, and developed organizational policies — and we understand, from the inside, the operational realities of running a martial arts academy.

Beyond the core advisory
Combat Integrity Group is, first and foremost, a combat sports advisory. For clients who need more, we also provide Texas-licensed legal services and national sports immigration — available as a bolt-on to any retainer.
For Texas-based gyms and promotions, our in-house counsel can take the work all the way through filing and litigation — not just advise on it. Entity formation, contracts, landlord disputes, insurance review, and dispute resolution.
Almost nobody specializes in combat sports immigration. We do — nationwide. From world-team coaches to imported instructors and international seminars, we build the evidentiary record that wins.
Built around the retainer
Targeted programs that extend the advisory — from training your staff and drafting your paper, to vetting your coaches, structuring your business, and rehearsing your worst day before it happens.
Staff workshops on SafeSport compliance, spotting red flags, and incident documentation. Annual policy and handbook audits to keep you ahead of the next claim.
Pre-drafted liability waivers, coach contracts, membership agreements, and athlete representation contracts — built for combat sports, not generic fitness.
Custom incident response playbooks for serious injury, viral video, and SafeSport allegations — written and rehearsed before you ever need the crisis line.
Coach and staff screening packages with ongoing monitoring — built with youth-focused academies and federations in mind.
Fighter contract review, sponsorship guidance, and post-career transition planning. Strategic counsel for athletes beyond the visa.
Business formation (LLCs, partnerships), buy/sell advisory, and expansion due diligence for academies scaling into multi-location operations.
One-off policy builds, handbook overhauls, or a single visa petition.
On-call advisory for operating gyms, promotions, and chains.
Embedded outside-counsel for multi-location operators and promotions.
An on-mat injury. A viral video. A police visit. A SafeSport allegation. Retained clients reach a real advisor — not an answering service — within fifteen minutes, any hour, any day.
