Personal Defense Training from Beginner to Expert

01.

Beginner

We offer a number of environmental training courses.

This is the fundamental training that can be used in any environment.

It teaches you unique tactics using a specific battle plan. This training is  vastly different than what any one else is doing.

You learn new targets, new strikes, new throws. You are Hard Wired.

We offer a 1 day short course or for those that wish to graduate and receive a certificate a 1 evening and 2 day course of 12 hours.

02.

advanced

We offer training in specific Hostile Immersion to Cold Weather.

You will learn specific Throws and tactics for use in Cold Weather–parkas, mittens, heavy boots, while in snow,  or ice.

We also have specific Hostile Immersion for Urban Environments.

You will learn how to use specific Worst Case throws, take downs, strikes and escapes.

These are each 12 hour-13 hour courses.

 

How'd you like to get the same training we give Commandos? Our Results are Undeniable. We will make ANY BODY more combat effective. Just ask our students.

next Level Training

We’re the ONLY  Strategy Based Total Self Protection Method open to civilians.

We train military & contractors, and we’ll train YOU.

We will train you how to perform in the very environments that violence occurs.

We know you don’t live in the gym, ring or cage and guess what?

We don’t train you in any of those.

You don’t wear gis or MMA rash guards in real life–you wear the clothing that is normal.

You don’t take your shoes off–that’s only for the beach–

and we think your likelihood of being attacked at the beach is far less than your chance of  being a potential victim of serious attack in a parking lot, alley, street, in the mud, in the snow, or in a building.

So guess what?

We train you to operate in those very environments just like a Commando. 

It’s a fact, we deliver the same fast results to civilians that we do to the military

To meet your needs, we can provide you with gun, blunt weapon, knife, or unarmed training.

Commando Knife

The Commando Blade Course is especially designed for blades 5 to 7 inches long.


We do cover smaller and larger blades but we concentrate on the modern utility and fighting knife.

Commando Knife is a specialized course that covers a great many approaches (Filipino, basic European, Bowie  Method, past military approach)  before starting to teach you modern commando techniques.

This course is unique in that it will take a very high percentage of physical and technical skill to pass. This is much like combat/war gun moving courses.

To pass this course requires motivation and focus. And make no mistake about it, this course is a serious upgrade to your unarmed skills.

We offer 3 day and 5 day versions of this trainings

Testimonial

What Our Students Say About Us

4.6/5
‘I served with the 7th Special Forces Group as a light weapons Sgt. in the mid to late 70’s and then was with Army Delta at it’s conception. I’ll just say that if you are really concerned about your safety and that of the people you love and don’t want to be a victim, then get this… and put it to use. Take it from someone who knows the real things when He sees it. CLUGSTON WALKS THE WALK!!!’
– Guy Falkinburg
Fmr Green Beret
4.8/5
“There is no way to defend against these moves they are based on simple actions, yet are devastating beyond belief. All of my official training assumes I’ll be armed and backed up, but that’s not always the case. I Have already used it (pre VDA) in the field, I can’t talk about it OFFICIALLY. It works.”
Greg B.
DEA Agent

Carl Anderson
