“People Don’t Join The Self Defense Company Because We’re Different…They Join Us Because They Are…”
Above is a picture of Self Defense Company Instructor Mario Karam teaching a group of Special Forces Soldiers The Self Defense Training System (SDTS) Combatives Program in Lebanon. Now as you can imagine, Mario is not your average person…but he’s not alone.
For some reason we attract people just like Mario who have extensive real-world experience when dealing with real violence. Above all other tactical programs, they choose the Self Defense Company — some say it’s because we’re different…we say it’s because they are.

I’ll Stop here – but these are just a few of the special people who chose to become Self Defense Company Instructors who are currently teaching the SDTS…oh and did I mention you can even train with them live, online? Book your intro lesson HERE <<<
Belts and trophies are great- fighting in the UFC is tough — but facing real-world violence when your older, injured, tired, out armed, and outnumbered takes a special set of skills that these folks know all too well. It’s been our honor and privilege to have these people on the Self Defense Company Team.
So Who is the Self Defense Company?
The Self Defense Company is an organization that is expanding globally with independent instructors joining the company every day from all over the world.
Most of our instructors start out as students and work their way up to the level where they feel comfortable enough that they decide to take the concepts taught in our close combat self-defense techniques to the next level and join the company as an independent instructor.
But although these independent instructors are in business for themselves they are NEVER in business by themselves. Each instructor has an Instructor mentor that has been where they are, to help them build their business from the ground up.
So, if you are a current student that is looking for a new, exciting career as a Self Defense Company instructor then we can help you to get going with the WORLD LEADER in CLOSE COMBAT SELF DEFENSE training.

This is such a great opportunity for me and for those who come and train with and learn with me, this very straight forward and effective system. The support I get as an Instructor is awesome and the people are great. Looking to grow here in Switzerland and give people the ability to protect themselves and their families with confidence.
