The Self Defense Company Training Programs
Self Defense Company remote learning programs enable individuals to learn on their own terms at their own pace.

The keystone of these programs is The Self Defense Training System, a twelve-step modular program that provides step-by-step instructions covering every aspect of close quarters combat.
Specialized Programs
Training programs like 60 Minute Self Defense and the innovative Family Safe Program , provide solutions for men, women, teens and families seeking to know exactly what it takes to prevent and survive violence. All of the Self Defense Company programs begin with strategic plan development, avoidance and threat identification and action execution.
The Self Defense Company Instructor and Trainer Development
The Trainers, Instructors and Training Centers are the grass roots extension of the Self Defense Company.

The Self Defense Company Instructor Programs provide training, business development, business systems, support and continued development through each stage of the program. Instructors seek the Self Defense Company for two reasons: to provide a much needed service to their community and to be a part of an internationally recognized organization sharing a common cause.
