Martial Arts and Self Defense Classes
With Your Local, Accredited Self Defense Company Professional Instructor

Find out for yourself why people choose our Professional Instructors for martial arts and self defense instruction over every other black belt master and ultimate cage fighter.

Discover why you don't need to join a long term martial arts program to learn how to protect yourself in your first lesson. Unlike a martial arts' style, self defense is a skill. A life skill that once learned is easily recalled and maintained.

The methods you will learn in The Self Defense Company™ classes enable you, even if you are of average size and skill, to over come and defeat a much larger, highly skilled adversary.

In just your first lesson you will already have REAL skills you can use immediately. Whether you take the introductory 10 Lesson Self Defense(TM) Program or immerse yourself in The Self Defense Training System™(TM), your instructor will guide you successfully through each lesson, regardless of your age, size, ability, man or woman. There are no uniforms to wear or belts to earn. There's just you learning a proven skill, with out the extras (and you won't have to be an ultimate cage fighter to do it).

Through our dynamic impact circuit training program, you will develop power without the risk of injury. Once you see how easy it is to effectively protect yourself through the natural movements of the system, you will have the confidence knowing that when pushed, you will be able to protect yourself and your loved ones.

From Hollywood Badboy to Bad Ass

From Hollywood Badboy to Bad Ass

I’m a Black Belt and I’ve been in my fair share of fights in my day. This system taught me things I never even conceived about self defense. Hell, I taught some of the staff weapons defenses from Module 8. and in minutes, thee guys were hammering me. I have to say, the Self Defense Training System is just that good

A large part of my life (obviously) revolves around guns and combat shooting skills. But there's a harsh reality that a lot of gun owners frankly just 'don't get' when it comes to surviving a life or death attack on you and your family. In fact, there's a question that most gun owners simply don't have an answer to: "What if, for whatever reason, I can't use my gun?"

Well, Damian Ross of the Self Defense Company has answered that question, in one of the most effective unarmed self defense training systems I have ever seen.

Please pay close attention. Your life may depend on it.

The Self Defense Training System Saves Cop

The Self Defense Training System Saves Cop's Life!

Mr. Ross,

I recently had an experience that I would like to share with you. Perhaps you could share it with your other students and give my any advice if this happens in the future.

I along with my partner who is approximately 5'5" and weighs approximately 160 pounds were recently was involved in an arrest of a violent subject and I used some of the techniques I learned from The Self Defense Company.

I am 5'7" and weigh about 213 pounds. The weather was bad, there was a steady rain and it had been raining all day so the ground was wet and slippery. The fight was on a sidewalk with grass and concrete on a very well traveled road. The bad guy was 6' tall, weighed between 280 and 300 pounds and under the influence of illegal drugs.To make a long story short I grabbed the bad guy to arrest him, he resisted and we fell to the ground with the bad guys body weight on top of me.

I found myself unable to get my legs wrapped tightly around his waist and put him in the guard and along with the rain and wet ground made it easy for the bad guy to break the hold. I immediately and don't really know how cause it happened so fast I managed to climb on the bad guys back and he easily threw me off his back. I don't know how I did it but I was able to get the bad guy on his stomach and I was able to wrap my legs around his waist, extend and lock out my legs on the ground forming a base while attempt to hold the bad guy down with my upper body weight till my back up arrived. The bad guy was able to get to his hands and knees several times but I was able to keep my body weight on him while on the ground. Then the bad guy attempted to remove my weapon from my holster and I immediately applied a choke hold from Module 3 of the Self Defense Training System (http://www.theselfdefenseco.com/module03.asp). He did not get my gun.

To finish the story I was able to keep him on the ground with my feet firmly planted and applying my body weight from moves I learned from you and The Self Defense Training System (http://www.theselfdefenseco.com) and I want to say they along with my partner and never quit attitude kept me from getting seriously hurt. I only sustained a couple sore ribs and a lower back strain. The bad guy was also tased several times and that had no effect. Just the training I learned from The Self Defense Company and my sheer will, determination and heart kept me from getting seriously hurt.

I just wanted to say "Thank you",

The training and teaching techniques embedded in this program are the most intuitive I've ever experienced in my 15 years of professional military, federal and private sector work. I speak from experience, having been trained in combatives with special forces, UFC, Krav Maga and a lifetime of wrestling. I highly recommend this method of self defense training for anyone regardless of experience. It's not what you know, it's how you apply it.

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

Actors From hit TV show The UNIT get some Real Hands on Training with The Self Defense Training System™

So there I was getting ready for class this evening when a gentlemen in a USO shirt came up and started talking to me. As our conversation grew I asked him what he was doing over here and he mentioned that he was an actor (Max Martini) in the TV series The Unit. I replied, I'm sorry, it you had been prettier I might have recognized you, but since I don't watch much TV in Kabul, I'm don't recognize you. We both laughed and walked over to the Training Dummy and I started explaining to him what it is that I teach (The Self Defense Training System™) and did some demo on BOB. Then he started hitting the dummy (while I filmed with my camera). Then another actor ( Robert Patrick) came over and said "Oh, are you doing Krav Maga?". No, I replied, this is The Self Defense Training System™ it's a little more brutal combatives system I teach to to operators. That’s when my student Aimal (our hero from the Taxi situation) chimed in…No, no, no, you can't wind up with a punch or a kick your assailant will see that a mile away, you need to lead with speed and follow with power! After he watched he stood back and said "Hey, I think you really have something there." As we finished our mini-class the actor Max said he would drop by the web page and that if he was ever in Tampa or N.J., that he should come by and for some more hands on training.

The Self Defense Training System™ is "As Real as it Gets"

The Self Defense Training System™ is "As Real as it Gets"

This will make you laugh, I caught Bas Rutten on Google Video teaching self-defense punching with bare knuckles this morning, so I went down to the Hapkido studio to see what BOB (the training dummy) thought...BOB went thumbs down. Punching is powerful (and I can punch hard) but chopping is much faster, hits more vulnerable targets, doesn't push the opponent out of range of follow-up shots and won't break your hand on impact.
I've been chopping with The Self Defense Training System™ now for a number of months. Going back to punching felt much less effect and much slower.
I'm a big fan of Mod #1, and Mod #3 was awesome. Looking forward to Mod #4,

Us Army Ranger Finally Discovers what he's been Searching for in The Self Defense Training System™

The Self Defense Training System™ is exactly what I have been searching for for years: an effective self defense program that didn’t take years of training and the flexibility of an Olympic gymnast. I wasn’t interested in another sport to compete in, strength training, or aerobic conditioning. And it had to fit into my already hectic schedule. I can very emphatically say that I have learned more self-defense in six weeks than a much younger, stronger me learned in 1-year of martial arts, 3-years of wrestling and Army Ranger combatives training. Every week I have walked out of the gym with powerful techniques that I could put to immediate use. I have learned where to hit (eyes, neck, groin and shin), how to hit (full body weight striking through the target), what to strike with (palm, edge of hand, elbow or forearm), and how many times to hit (until injury occurs). I look forward every month to learning something new which I can do to protect myself and my loved ones.

The Self Defense Training System™: Simplicity is the Hallmark of Genius!

The Self Defense Training System™: Simplicity is the Hallmark of Genius!

I have taken part of several 'self defense; classes. Some were martial arts discipline specific. Some were more genral combatives programs. Out of all of them, The Self Defense Training System™ from The Self Defense Company™ is by far the best. It teaches you to focus on simple, easily executed responses to threats and deadly sitiuations the avergage citizen or soldier might encounter. In my opinion, The Self Defense Training System™ teaches you the quickest and fastest way to disable and assailant and remove yourself from the threat. I have discovered how to execute action with little regard for my target who has no regard for my well being or fightng 'fairly'

I can't emphasis enough that the hallmark of this program and the genius of this program is simplicity. I am confidant that I will be ale to handle one, two or three assailants if I had to. I define success in this situation as very little injury to myself and maximum injury to the targets.

I confidently recommend ths program to anyone regardless of their existing level of experience

The Self Defense Training System™ is the only System you Need

The Self Defense Training System™ is the only System you Need

I have bought the complete Self Defense Training System about three weeks ago and after watching the entire program, I feel obliged to tell the public how good your program really is for their own safety.
I have been studying Close Combat in private lessons at a school which is not affiliated with the Self-Defense Company for 1 year and a half now. Before that, I tried several self-defense systems and watched hundreds of self-defense DVDs.

First of all, after training in Close Combat only for a few weeks I realized how The Self Defense Training System™ was superior to other self-defense systems.
So this is the first reason why I encourage you to buy The Self Defense Training System™ because of the self-defense system taught which is: Close Combat.

My second reason is because it’s easy to see in the DVDs that Mr. Damian Ross is an honest man and that he has the safety of people at heart.
Let me give you a couple of examples of that. Many self-defense instructors make you believe that you will be able to defend yourself efficiently,
when in fact you’ll only be able to defend yourself properly if you train for years in their systems. Other self-defense instructors will lie to you and
say that you will be able to defend yourself in their systems with low fitness level. I feel this puts the public at great risk of injury, because if you want to
be able to deal with a self-defense situation, unless you defend yourself with a weapon, you have to have a relatively good level of fitness, otherwise you will got out of breath within seconds,
especially if you are not used to dealing with the adrenaline peak you will experience. The proof of this can be observed in The Self Defense Training System™ by seeing Mr.Ross, who has been an athlete
for a good part of his life, not being out of breath but sweating in some DVDs, because he puts all his energy into his attacks, which is what should be done if you want to have a chance at surviving against
a good attacker. After a year and a half of private Close Combat training and physical training, I am still only able to go at full force and speed for about a minute on a training dummy, which would be more than enough
to finish one or even multiple attackers if you fight like shown The Self Defense Training System™, until I start having trouble breathing even though I can run miles before beginning to have trouble breathing.
Your whole body is involved in Close Combat and this is totally different than running or speed walking. Plus, if you choose to escape a situation, you’ve got to be able to run fast enough and long enough to get to a safe place and
a bad fitness level is not going to permit you to accomplish that.

Lastly, I strongly encourage you to buy this entire Self Defense Training System because Mr.Ross doesn’t show you anything that will put your life in danger
if you do as he says, unlike several other DVDs (who shall remain nameless) \ which show you stuff that will get you killed in the streets because these techniques work tremendously
in a Dojo, but not in a Street Fight where everything is chaotic and happens so fast.

Here is my suggestion: Buy the entire Self Defnese Training System as your core self-defense, train as instructed, and to add a little more reality have a partner get in
your face, swear at you and intimidate you, so you can feel what it is like to be in an adrenalized state. Believe me
You won’t be able to do complex motor movements I can guarantee. Try scenarios where you will try to verbally de-escalate the conflict, if possible.
I even encourage you to look at some self-defense DVDs from other instructors but take the Self Defense Trining System from the Self-Defense Company as
your core because this system is so effective and so complete technically speaking that you won’t find anything that comes even close to it. You’ve got one of the best instructors in the world, Mr.Damian Ross, that will answer all your questions
on his forum and that is priceless for continuous learning and stupid to not take advantage of this great resource.

Thank you Mr.Ross for making this collection because you’ve contributed to making our world a safer place.

Best Regards,

Alexandre Desorosiers, Medical Student and Microbiologist, Montreal

Man Survives Brutal Attack Thanks to The Self Defense Training System™

Man Survives Brutal Attack Thanks to The Self Defense Training System™

I was traveling to work (via Taxi) when these two men starting some trouble with a cab driver.
Somehow I became involved and soon found out that I was now fighting two other men!!!
But before I knew it, it was over so fast, less than 10 seconds. All I remember doing was stepping into one person with my full body weight,
landing a horizontal edge of hand into the guys throat followed by some other vertical edge of hands until the guy just collapsed.It was incredible.
All I could remember was the striking drills I learned to do on the training dummy and that I should always remember that in any altercation remember
three things...you assailant will have intent - Check, he will have friends - Check, he will have a weapon. To tell you thre truth, I didn't stick
around, I think those guys were out cold.
One thing I remembered from the Training System: an attack will most likely occur when you are not expecting one, you are sick, tired, etc. and I have
been sick the past few days.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

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.

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.

"The Best Self Defense Training I

"The Best Self Defense Training I've Ever Seen!"

Hi Damian,
-linebreak-I recently received module 1 from the <b>"The Self Defence Training System"</b> (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.

I have received first module of The Self Defense Training System™ and let me say that I am really impressed with the work gone into this. It is real meat in the sandwich stuff. The Self Defense Training System™ was an excellent choice for my next step in training. I wish to thank Damian Ross for the work put into this incredible program. I would offer myself to any, at all, others that may have any doubts about the "Instuctor" or "Trainer", and will absolutely back the Trainer for the 12 month, leading back to Instructor, as the best instuctional series I have yet seen.

Looking forward to next training module.

The Self Defense Training System™ Weapons Defense…..Simmply Brilliant!!!

The Self Defense Training System™ Weapons Defense…..Simmply Brilliant!!!

I've just received volume 9 of the self defence series and am just as pleased with the contents as volume 1.
However, volume 8 was the "one" I had been anticipating for, as the topic of knives is quite prevalent here in the UK at the moment.
What can I say....Absolutely devastating and brilliant. It cuts all the crap away from the subject matter in a clear and concise manner.
I still see posters advertising a karate practitioner "blocking" and then "incapacitating" a knife wielding assailant in the hope of a knife fearing
public running to them to show them the "way" to deal with these thugs! Your DVD shows an attitude that is somehow being dismissed in recent times,
they've got a knife so yield to their control, CRAP! How about what we Brits used to do FIGHT BACK!
As you say on your DVD "Is it better to be hurting/killing them as they stab you or vice versa"!
It is my personal opinion that Volume 8 is "the" gem of the series, well so far anyway
Cheers!

The Self Defense Training System™ helps Defensive Tactics Instructor become a Better Teacher

The Self Defense Training System™ helps Defensive Tactics Instructor become a Better Teacher

I enjoy training on the Spar Pros and BOB's. Most of the people I teach are impressed with my speed and power on the striking sequences.
It shows them that most people can hit with speed and power with a little practice and good technique.
Too many people think that striking is only for the young and strong.
People of all ages, sizes, and genders can effectively neutralize most threats and escape to safety.
I don't have any photos of me training on the dummies but do have some videos of training sessions.

I will train honestly.

The Self Defense Training System™ more practical thant Commando Krav Maga

The Self Defense Training System™ more practical thant Commando Krav Maga

I live in Mexico City and as you may or may not know, crime is escalating in both frequency and intensity.
Unfortunately, most of the self defense programs offered here are martial arts and sports.
Yesterday I received Module 2 of The Self Defense Training Syste Advanced Strikes, and I have toi tell you
that Damian Ross is an incredible teacher. The information is thorough and precise.
The System is easy to learn and incredibly simple to master because it goes right to the point.
I’m currently training in Command Krav Maga but I find your approach much more realistic and practical for real
self defense.

Hopefully, I will become a Self Defense Company Professional Instructor soon.

Sincerely,

Damian Ross and The Self Defense Training System™ a Tribute to Close Combat

Damian Ross and The Self Defense Training System™ a Tribute to Close Combat

I am a firm beleiver in you and The Self Defense Training System™. I have purchased The Close Combat Training Program from Captain Chris Pizzo
(I even got the ones when he was wearing the mask and called himself Lt.x) I know he was a student of yours and learned all he did about close combat
from you when you both were in the business together a few years back.

Thank God I can learn from the teacher NOT the student! (Cpt Chris still has lot to learn!)

The Self Defene Training System along with the old Carl Cestari videos I have really have surpassed my self defense needs.
Out of al of Mr. Cestari's students, in my humble opinion you are by far, the most talented. Mr. Cestari taught you well!

I appreciate what you do and the candor you use. You are honest and intelligent and I have alot of respect for you.
Thank you for your info, time and contributions!

If you recall I order three sets of The Self Defense Training System™. I keep one and two are going out to Division size U.S. army post with "Combatives" gyms.
We choose The Self Defense Training System™ over the current program because of its effectiveness and ease of use. (I have a personally peeved
about MAC developing reflexes that can get you quickly killed in a real fight.)
Thank you for your good work and making this information available.
(And thanks for being professional and dependably business-like in contrast to others.)

One module of The Self Defense Training Sytem as better than Years of Krav Maga

One module of The Self Defense Training Sytem as better than Years of Krav Maga

First let me start off by saying after taking several years of Krav, I learned more about what it takes to in the first lesson of the
first module Essential Self Defense than I learned in my years of Krav Maga. Although the appear to be similar, Krav Maga for all
its real world application is still lacking something.
There are literally dozens of scams on the internet and for your company to
differentiate and distinguish itself, is a diffuclt task, I hope my two cents helps.
People fear purchasing bcause of unauthorized, fine print charges and no customer service.

This is not the case with The Self Defense Company™. I feel like your company is awesome. I live in Philly and look forward to attending some of
the training seminars.
There is a chance I will be able to enroll in the longer, more intensive training of The Self Defense Company™ Instructor Program

I'm writing to tell you about Module 7, Combt Physical Training. The module came in the mail last night and i'm watching it now before work.
What a relief to finally get the hand-picked combat exercises from people with all you-guy's experience.
It really means a lot to me. LONG LIVE THE ALLIES!!! Sounds corny, but how do you thank all those guys who went before us?
Thank YOU anyways, keep up the good work.
