"I have taken many different type of martial arts over the years and nothing compares to The Self Defense Company when it come to real life, on the street, self defense. There are no points to win and no time to think when someone is attacking you. You have to be instinctive with your actions and that is exactly what you will learn with this program. This is the best self-defense program out there. Definitely a five star rating!!" Brian Cowee Self Defense Training System Member

"I have been searching for the best training to deal with close quarters combat situations for civilians, The Self Defense Company is built on solid research, field testing by the military, and uses the sciences of anatomy, physiology, kinesiology and forensic science. One good example is Damian's continued urging to stomp forward and aggressively take ground. As an exercise physiologist, this makes perfect sense. Here's my nerd part: Force equals mass times acceleration. Lifting your forward foot, moving your mass forward with speed increases your net mass. Force is increased: you hit harder! And, as you accelerate your strike - edge of hand, elbow, knee, foot stomp or other technique - you multiply your force. The Self Defense Training System is the best I've found!"
