The vendor opportunity at Dynamic Combatives Dynamic Combatives runs 2 locations under its 2025 FDD — 1 franchised, 1 company-owned — in California, part of Train to Survive Holdings alongside sibling brand United Defense Tactical. Item 19 makes a financial performance representation. At this scale, the opportunity is narrow, but the buying process is unusually clear.
Who controls software purchasing Item 2 names Wesley Fox as Chief Executive Officer, Nick Pifer as Executive Vice President of Operations, Mike Melby as Executive Director, Jennifer Fox as Director of Member Services, and James Luy as Vice President of Franchise Support. With only two locations and a mandated core system already in place, this small executive team is the effective buyer for any adjacent software.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required Item 6 requires ClubReady — the only tech system named anywhere in the filing, and a required one. A vendor selling into Dynamic Combatives is either working alongside ClubReady or pitching something that doesn't compete with it directly.
Procurement, renewals, and timing Item 8 runs an approved-supplier list: franchisees must buy source-restricted goods and services from approved or designated suppliers, which may include Train to Survive Holdings or its affiliates, and simulators and props specifically must be purchased from the franchisor or an affiliate. Where no supplier is designated, franchisees can buy from any source meeting the franchisor's specifications. Item 17 sets a 10-year term with renewal requiring 180 days' notice, full compliance, a renewal fee, a remodel to then-current standards, and a personal guarantee from the franchisee's owners on the renewal agreement.
