What Others Have Said:

"Empowered Professional Conquers Her Fears"
I was apprehensive about beginning a Self Defense Program. But I was immediately put at ease once I started. Everyone was patient and each of the drills was explained clearly. I understood exactly what I was doing. After the first lesson, I could immediately apply what I learned. Before I started I was a little scared, but now, I'm still nervous, but I have a plan of action and I know what situations to avoid and what danger signs to look for.

The Self Defense Company Mission

The mission of The Self Defense Company is to continue to spread the truth about self defense by providing the highest possible standard of teaching and instruction through Instructor-Partner Members.

the Instructor-Partner is the natural extension of the ideas set forth by Carl Cestari, who at his core, loved to teach and loved to learn. This is our legacy. An Instructor-Partner is humble, modest, and if need be, will put foot to ass when pushed.

As instructors, it is our job to continue to seek the truth beyond any one program, style, or martial art. We see everything with an open mind.
