The Self Defense Company is a global organization of defensive tactic instructors, civilian advisors, active and inactive military and law enforcement officers dedicated to the education and training of crime prevention and conflict resolution.

How The Self Defense Training System (SDTS) Was Developed

The Self Defense Training System (SDTS) was developed by Master Instructor Damian Ross, CEO of The Self Defense Company. A life long competitive athlete, martial artist, instructor, club security, bodyguard and coach, The SDTS is the only self defense course that combines real world self defense with modern training techniques. Mr. Ross is known as the “trainer’s trainer”. He has served as an expert consultant and instructor to The United States Secret Service, The United States Federal Marshals, The United Stated Postal Inspectors. The Self Defense Training System is currently being implemented by instructors and commanders in The United States Marine Corps, United States Homeland Security, The United States Army Combatives Training Centers. The Self Defense Training System (SDTS) has proven itself in the field from Afghanistan, Nigeria and “Small Town” USA. Even civilian defense forces like the Guardian Angels have adopted the SDTS as their defensive tactics curriculum because of it’s extreme effectiveness.

The Technique
The roots of the SDTS came out of sheer necessity. Mr. Ross discovered that what he learned in the dojo was not applicable to what he faced in a real life situation. In the real world he found himself relying on his grappling and kick boxing training not the self defense training he learned in the martial arts studio. He thought, like most martial artists, that sport training was what self defense training was all about. But that was all about to change. In 1989 he met his instructor and mentor at a self defense seminar that would set the foundation for The Self Defense Training System, Carl Cestari.

That meeting led Mr. Ross to the hand to hand combat studies conducted by the United States, British and Allied Forces from the early 1900's to the Viet Nam Era. These super powers did exhaustive research into all aspects of martial arts and close combat to discover simply what worked. The result of these studies revealed techniques that were combat specific. Individually these techniques can be found in a wide variety of martial arts. But each technique is hand picked for self defense effectiveness. Any technique that was sport oriented, too complicated or took too long to learn was eliminated so that only the most effective remained.

The secret to the SDTS: the Perfect Combination of Tactics, Technique and Training

In 1992 Damian Ross began teaching these methods. Over the next decade and a thousand students later, a complete program was developed to implement these proven techniques and tactics. This system was based on his decades of coaching, competing and instructing. Mr Ross's experience with elite coaches and athletes led to a program that worked on core learning principles that coaches use to teach athletes how to analyze and execute under high stress conditions.

What was discovered was that - the most effective methods were often the SIMPLEST and EASIEST to learn. This breakthrough enabled a wide variety of people, men and women, soldier and civilian alike, to use these methods in the real world in the shortest amount of time possible. In The Self Defense Training System shows you how to get the maximum effect from a minimum time in training.


The Self Defense Company
Strikes Fear in The Heart of Terror Worldwide

Because there is no defense to the SDTS
The war in the Middle East is escalating and North Africa is growing worse and worse as tribal factions fight for land and access to its rich resources. At home, the level of violence intensifies, and the need for more effective methods of personal protection and close quarters combat has never been more important. With this growing need for proven self defense, people must be trained and "good to go" as quickly as possible. Today people need to know what to do NOW. The solution more and more professionals and experts turn to meet these demands is The Self Defense Company's Self Defense Training System or SDTS. The SDTS delivers swift and accurate training that makes its practitioners combat effective in only a fraction of the time when compared to other methods of self defense.


The Self Defense Training System in the War against Terror

"One of the most often asked questions I receive while teaching Hand to Hand Combat here in Afghanistan to our brave US and Coalition Service Members is which system is more effective: the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP) or the US Army Combatives Program? While I could give a lengthy and detailed essay on the pros and cons of each system, I will offer the following response...which ever gets the job done quickly and violently. The Self Defense Training System is that system and that's why I chose to teach it to our troops over everything else I've seen"

You can fight a style, but you can't fight The SDTS

Styles, by nature have specific characteristics that make it a style. Karate, Tae Kwon Do and Kick Boxing are known for striking. Brazilian Jujitsu, Judo, Sambo and Wrestling are known for grappling and submissions. Even Mixed Martial Arts has its rules and regulations that any good street fighter will take advantage of faster than you can say "UFC". But the SDTS is a system that trains you to take the greatest tactical advantage not matter what the situation. In your first module you will discover how you can exploit any attacker's weakness. As you continue your training you will see how simple it is to gain the advantage from any position in any situation imaginable. Since the SDTS isn't confined by rules or cultural etiquette, you will be trained not to hesitate when other systems teach you to hold back or pull your technique.

The Self Defense Training System shows you how to "win the fight" even before a single punch is thrown! And you will be able to do this, with out a partner, an instructor or even attending a single class.

Self Defense Training System:
Under Fire in Nigeria

Hey Damian,
I just wanted to drop you a line, I've been working with the Nigerian Police Force (NFP) out here in Nigeria and I have to say, these guys are eating this stuff up!! After the SDTS basic we got to Modules 8, 9 and 12 they are going crazy, they haven't seen anything like the SDTS. Needless to say, these guys see action on a regular basis, last night our convoy was shot at and a few of our team took rounds and didn't make it out.

Thanks again, it's a pleasure to help people who really need it.

The 8 Cardinal Rules of The Self Defense Training System: The reason these methods were hand picked for the SDTS.

The Self Defense Training System is not a martial art or a competitive sport, it is a science that is exact in its method and purpose. It short, it shows you how to be resourceful by using any means at your disposal. It allows you to end the conflict as fast and efficiently as possible. The choice is yours: leave the scene or completely annihilate the unfortunate soul who messes with you - its up to you to decide.

The Self Defense Training System meets the 8 Cardinal rules of self defense. The rules were developed as a method of testing technique. The criteria specifically left technique or style out of the equation. You will notice that phrases like: you need a method of striking or grappling are not included. It didn’t matter what system or style the methods came from. As long as a method or strategy met the "Cardinal 8" it was kept, if it didn't it was eliminated.

The 8 Cardinal Rules of The Self Defense Training System

  1. It must work on an assailant that is much larger and stronger than you.
  2. It must work against both armed and unarmed assailants at the same time.
  3. It must work against multiple and single assailants at the same time.
  4. It must work against determined and capable assailants.
  5. It must work when you are distracted, older or injured and appear to be a good target of opportunity.
  6. It can't have specific defense for each individual situation.
  7. It must work in every possible environment (the same method must work in snow, sand, parking lot, woods, jungle, your living room, etc.).
  8. It must become instinctive and convulsive as quickly as possible.


If you want to fight in the UFC, break boards or watch yourself do flipping jumping, spinning kicks in the mirror then this is not the system for you, but if you want to know how to rip any ultimate cage fighter and martial arts "master" a part, in only a fraction of the time it takes to learn a traditional martial art (and for less than a fraction of the cost) then The SDTS is what you want.

The SDTS turns 120 pound woman into a "120-pound Wrecking Ball!"

I began my training several years ago and earned a Black Belt in Yongmudo (Hapkido) from the UC Martial Arts Program at the University of California in Berkeley. The focus of this art is well, self defense. It is still a martial art though, which means there are competitions, padding and God forbid, Rules! Oh yeah, I also practiced Taekwondo for a few years. Who hasn't! Don't get me wrong; I am not badmouthing this program, the arts or my instructors. I love them all! However, in the spirit of true self defense training I sought more.

Perhaps it was because I got smarter. Or perhaps it was simply because I got older, and suddenly realized doing a spinning, jumping hook kick to the face was pretty much impractical for self defense. All joking aside, my search for TRUE self defense training began when I learned that even 3rd dans (3rd degree black belt) in any martial art will end up in the hospital, raped or dead in real life combat.

When I moved to NJ I searched for a new training that focused on true self defense. Boy, did I try a lot of them! The Self Defense Company is where I found exactly what I was searching for. I have been here ever since and simply love it!

Why The Self Defense Training System Succeeds Where All Other Systems Fail.

Unlike traditional martial arts like karate, kung fu and tae kwon do and combat sports like UFC, mixed martial arts, boxing, judo and wrestling, The Self Defense Training System uses simple and proven TACTICS not complicated techniques.

When your life is on the line you have a huge adrenaline rush, your heart rate increases and you will not be able to perform the complicated sport or martial arts techniques. The reason the SDTS continues to excel in the real world is because is depends on TACTICS not TECHNIQUES that don’t require any athletic skill whatsoever. The methods make the greatest use of your core body strength and shows you how to focus your energy at your attacker’s vulnerabilities. (Before and during the fight!).

While your buddies down at the martial arts school are practicing specific moves, the SDTS is preparing you in strategy and tactics. Instead of trying to prepare for each specific possible scenario you will discover how easy it is to break down any situation to its common denominator.

Because the methods in the SDTS are simple, make use of your core body strength and gross motor skill set and shows you how to handle thousands of potentially deadly situations with jut a handful of techniques. You not only cut down your time in training to a fraction of the time, you will still be able protect yourself even if you're older, injured, sick or distracted (the times you will most likely be assaulted).

How The Self Defense Training System Works

These are not training videos, this is a learning system. Accelerated learning needs 3 factors of education:

  1. Demonstration and Explanation
  2. Training and Implementation
  3. Positive Feedback and Group Learning
The SDTS is the same method we have used to help civilians and super soldiers alike become efficient in self defense and close combat. The only difference is, since we don’t have a limited time table, we have developed the SDTS even further so that you don't have to be an elite soldier to do it.

We accomplished this through our proven 3-step learning formula. This formula with combined with continued support will allow you to get the maximum results in the shortest amount of time possible.

The 3 Step Learning Formula of The SDTS
  1. Watch the Instructional DVD
    See the methods in action
  2. Watch the Training and Drills DVD
    Learn how to take what you saw in the instructional DVD to the real world through specific training drills.

You won't learn the SDTS in "The Academy"

FACT: The Self Defense Training System is not taught in any basic training program or police academy and we will never CLAIM TO BE. The SDTS is TOO effective and TOO brutal to be taught to local law enforcement and to regular military. and law enforcement agencies. Remember the "Choke Hold" that was banned by the Los Angels Police Department and then banned by EVERY law enforcement agency in the United States? Now you can turn on your TV and see it used in competition without incident!

The reason is that bureaucrats decide what is taught to public servants not veterans. Anything that is potentially deadly is considered "not in the interest of public safety". Who cares that a drug dealer would kill the cop just as soon as he would look at him. The UGLY TRUTH is that the powers that be would rather pay a cop's hospital bills and death benefits than pay the legal bills and lawsuits defending the cops right to defend his life. The SDTS is what works, that's why so many police and soldiers a like pay out their OWN POCKET to train in the SDTS.

People who see action on a regular basis (doormen, security, seasoned law enforcement officers, special operation teams, bounty hunters and private contractors) turn to The Self Defense Company's SDTS to make sure they come back alive at the end of their shift. The experts know what it takes to "get the job done". Now you can too.

Unparalleled Training and Customer Service
Dear Self Defense Company,
I have got to say once again that I apologize for taking such an aggressive tone. I usually get screwed over by just about everyone so I am very sorry for that. I have got to say that in my short dealings with your company I have received nothing but positive dealings and professionalism. Something I am not familiar with. I thank you for that. I look forward to restarting the training soon and I have sent out emails to all my friends who I thought might be interested in taking a self defense training course. If I can personally do anything to help promote your company in my city, please let me know. Until then, I'm training honestly and spreading the good word about The Self Defense Company.
Cheers,
Mick Debonnaire, Australia

"The Best Self Defense Training I've Ever Seen!"
Hi Damian,
I recently received module 1 from the "The Self Defence Training System" (Wednesday 5th March 2008). To date I would say that the material I received is the best that I have purchased or even seen! Everything about the product/module is "First Class", product presentation, training content, and the instruction from yourself. "It definitely is first class"!
How many products are their out there, where firstly you watch a Instructional DVD, you then go onto watch the Practice and Drills DVD and then you are provided with a Training manual that takes you by the hand and shows/tells you how to practice and how to train the drills. "It could not be any easier".
"Great work to you and all those involved in this project Damian". I can not wait until I receive module 2!
Kind Regards and Thank You,
Andrew Hannah, Northern Ireland, UK.

"There is No Short Cut, Only the Truth"
Dear Damian,
What you are doing now is a noble thing, your contributions to the society and public through yourself defense program are immeasurable. You are giving people the tools to help themselves. They understand there is no 'short cut', but now they have a path through the woods.
Cheers,
Akmal from Malaysia

"Woman Finds the Time for Self Defense"
I have trained in Tae Kwon Do for 5 years, City Centre Boxing for 1 year and Hapkido & grappling for 1 year. I attend University full time and access their gym 6 days a week; so, as it stands my training now consists of cardio, weight training and endurance. At this time, my primary goal is to be the winner in an aversive situation; it is great to hear that self defense can be learned on my own; as I do not have the time available to me to resume martial arts training; you have inspired hope within myself; and for that I thank you.
Have a great day,

"BJJ Fighter Finds He Can Still Train Injured"
The Self Defense Training System is great and it's especially timely for me. I've been training BJJ for almost 10 years and I've got a sports hernia that has kept me from any rolling since November. Since I received the SDTS, I've been able to train with your materials even with the injury. I especially like the "how to train" aspect of it.
Best of luck with the program, I'm looking forward to the rest of it.

"Life Long Martial Artists and Retired Chicago Police Officer finds a Home in The Self Defense Company Professional Instructor Program"
Hi Damian,
I have to tell you that I really admire your program. The actual training format and sequence and techniques are nothing new to me. I didn't get the chance to tell you but I've been 'into' reality self defense probably longer than most, if not all, of your constituency.
For historical reference, I've been at war with 'traditional martial arts' training since the beginning and have made 'enemies' along the way. All through my traditional 'rank' advancements and after training I would come back to the dojo after a hard day as a Chicago Police Officer and dare to argue with the sensei about the fact that most of the stuff he was brainwashing the students with just didn't work in the real stinking street. Because I was just out there and tried it for real! This, of course, was heresy! But then after I became a 'traditional black belt' and competed and routinely beat them at their own game, some of them began to listen.
All these '8th Dan masters' really used to get angry at me. But just as you do, I felt they were doing a disservice to people by not stretching their school lessons to include real self defense training. I mean, you can show people something that really works and is worth something and still make money can't you?
I was often accused of having 'no respect' for the arts. However that was not true. Martial arts training has literally saved my life on way more than a few occasions. It proved more valuable in the mental discipline value of it...but I just didn't like they way some of these guys were hiding the truth. I learned the serious reality difference between the martial 'art' form, that these guys were trying to pass off as some supernatural 'mystical power', and serious kill or be killed kinetic bodily interaction which is what really happens on the street. I saw it happen day after day on the mean streets for many years.
...nevertheless, I and a few others remained under the radar for years and those who accomplished in the refusing to sell-out to ridiculous "day care" programs and the like. My main point is that I have been waiting for something like this for a long time: a progressive movement designed to eventually 'trump' the traditional martial arts fantasy world and bring the physical defense training paradigm into the new millennium.
And you are leading it! This is great! I'm also even more impressed with your business plan approach to this. You attack every angle from magazines to computer ads to market guidance, to hands on instruction.
And you are on it and all over it incessantly. This must obviously be the way you fight, nuclear bomb style, and is obviously the key to being a winner. And I'm with you on it.
Thanks Again,
Pete Lipa, Instructor
The Self Defense Company, Colona WI


"Finally a Direct and Honest Approach To Self Defense Training"
Damian,
I wanted to thank you for the excellent information you are sharing in The Self Defense Training System. I had ordered another close combat training course recently and I can honestly say that I learned more from Module 1 "Essential Self Defense" than I did from the entire package of fluff I received from the other company!
Your teaching style is direct, honest and you don't hold back from giving the students more than their monies worth. I compliment you on your ability to take information and break it down into digestible bites that can be learned quickly and easily.
Keep up the good work and again, thank you.
Walter R. Heinze, Arizona

"This is just like the Close Combat They Taught in the Foreign Legion"
Damian,
The methods I saw in The Self Defense Training System Module 1 seem to be about the same as my step dad taught me from the French Foreign Legion in the 1960's. All the techniques are simple, basic but very effective. This is top notch training a lot of shock and awe like the training we received in the SAS(British Special Air Services).
Again, thank you for your understanding and customer service; you seem to be one of the honest traders on the net (as you know there are a lot of crooks out there).
Very Best Regards,
Roy in the UK

Disabled Woman Finds Strength With The Self Defense Company
Dear Damian,
I must commend you on your dedication to your passion. I read every article you send me and find myself quite impressed with your words and dedication. I am a 43 year old disabled female. I use a cane and have chronic pain in my lower back and both legs, more so in the knees. My upper body strength is pretty good; I lift small weights every morning. I believe the self defense training system will be beneficial to me as a disabled person. I often think that if I were to ever get mugged I would surely be screwed because I literally can't run to get away. It is a big fear for me since I live in Lincoln, Nebraska and certain areas are pretty tough around here. I look forward to continue training in your methods. Thank You for hearing me.
With most sincerity,

"Black Belt Instructor Adds The Self Defense Training System To His Curriculum"
Damian,
I want to thank you for selflessly providing this information. The first module was in-depth and concise at the same time. I even enjoyed reading the literature.
We implemented the drills. The information has allowed for us to enhance our Applied Defence Systems (ADS) program. These valuable tools and combat principles have increased the realism and value of our self protection system.
Wisdom = Knowledge + Experience - Module One incorporates it ALL. Thank you for selflessly sharing these gems with the world.

You have taken close quarters combat to it's zenith, the material contained in Module 1 is superlative, there is nothing else like it on the market, I thought that CORCT 1 & 2 was as good as it gets but I was wrong, this material breaks new ground, what you have created here is future-proof, this is the diamond standard that all else has to aspire to. I am very proud to be one of the first to own this material.
Thank you for producing The Self Defense Training System.

Former Student Sends His Regards From Iraq
Sensei Ross,
I'm sorry this will be informal but there is good reason. A few years ago I was a student of yours for a matter of months. My name is Ryan Schumacher from Pompton Lakes. I just got back to my firm base after a foot patrol in Ramadi, Iraq. I'm about to rack out but I wanted to get in touch about your video system and some tips on a combat oriented training program in the weight room because I know you're all about the real deal which is awesome for someone like me.
I hope to here from you soon.

"Self Defense Company Professional Instructor Fills His First Class!"
Damian,
I thought you might want to here the latest...I'm getting about 60% of my website views from theselfdenseco.com website referrals (about 10 new hits a day now!).
I'm getting so many report downloads and phone calls that I am forced to start classes earlier than I had anticipated (People are CALLING ME! I haven't had to do a single follow up... the website and auto responder report works!).
Due to situations with my "day job", I was going to really get things kicked off at the end of Feb. However, I am now forced to start teaching next week with a full class. Here is the amazing part... This is 100% all from the website! As a result, I am also launching my marketing campaign this week (sooner than anticipated). Even more amazing (to me anyway) is that about half of the people calling me already have black belts in another martial art!! This speaks volumes as to the credibility and quality of the program.
