These seminars are designed to instill both mental and physical skills in a mild-impact training environment. These programs are broken into 50 minute sessions with 15 minute breaks on the hour.

  • Essential Self Defense (5 hour)
    Learn what it takes, when it comes to basic self defense. The training focuses on escape and evasion techniques, the proper use of non-lethal technologies and improvised weapons. Attendees leave with a solid foundation of personal safety. If everyone knew this material, the world would be a much safer place.

  • Weapon Retention Training (3 hour)
    Choosing or having to carry a firearm also means learning how to keep it that firearm under constant control.

  • Methods of Arrest and Restraint (3 hour)
    In security and law enforcement, taking control of a non-compliant subject is one of the most difficult aspects of the job.

This seminar will help maintain control while minimizing the amount of injury to the suspect.

Intensive Training

Prepares attendees for the physical demands of close quarters combat. Where the other sessions (except the Weapon Retention and The Arrest and Restraint) focused on escape and survival, these sessions teach you how to move forward to conquer and subdue an assailant. This is what has been proven to work with the highest possible success rate. All of these seminars feature training, instruction and drills of The Self Defense Training System.

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,
Lisa Halley, Canada

"Man Builds His Own "Dojo" Around The Self Defense Training System"
Hello Damian,
All I can say is Wow! I got to preview Module One with a friend and I REALLY like it.
We started working out together and are getting some incredible results (we're even looking to expand our workout area with some mats!)
Thanks again, and I can't wait for Module 2!

"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.

"Blackwater Instructor Puts The Self Defense Training System to the Test!"
Hello Damian,
This is Mitchell McCray out here in Afghanistan thanks a lot I received the package you sent the DVD and reading material are great, I use it as reference material. All of what you have in your first Module "Essential Self Defense" I have been teaching out here with great success! I look forward to receiving the next package and returning home in order to train with you!
Thanks again,

"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,
Eileen Smith

"Something EVERY Martial Artist Should Know"
I've been watching all night and am on the 3rd cd. I think it's great! It's something every martial artist would feel stupid for not knowing and what others would think is genius.
I've kind of got to think hard on this, I'm definitely going to keep training. I can't wait to get to the weapons modules.
Thanks for sending the test drive!

"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.
Respectfully,
Reuben Bean

"The Self Defense Training System Is the Diamond Standard For All Martial Arts Training Systems"
Damian,
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.
Warmest Regards,

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.
Lcpl Ryan J Schumacher, USMC

"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.
