The 2012 training summit is an all-inclusive experience. All you need to do is pack your gear and get to the location and you will never have to take out your wallet until you leave. Each day will consist of 6 hours of training, one hour of certification, one hour guest speaker and evening events.

Early Registration ends May 1, 2012. Then the registration fee goes up 10%. All registrations are closed and non-refundable after June 1, 2012.

What your training experience will include:

Tactical Training

All aspects of The Self Defense Training System and Guardian Defensive Tactics Police Combatives will be covered. You will have an opportunity to become certified on all levels. There will be approximately 35 hours of tactical training and 5 hours of class room training in total.

Day 1: SDTS Level 1 Methods of Escape and Evasion, Essential Self Defense and Advanced Strikes (SDTS Modules 1 and 5)

Day 2: SDTS Level 2 Ground Fighting and Defense Vs. Mugs and Extreme Close Range Attacks (SDTS Modules 3 and 4)

Day 3: SDTS Level 3 Weapons offensive and Defensive Tactics (SDTS Modules 8 and 9)

Day 4: SDTS Level 4 Combat Take Downs and Quick Kills (SDTS Modules 10 and 12)

Day 5: Guardian Defensive Tactics Police Combatives

Certifications

Are not mandatory, but are open to all participants. If you're planning to become a Self Defense Company Instructor you can be credited towards your Professional Instructor Program. The certification is in a "teach back" format and will take place at the end of the tactical training portion of each day. Each candidate will be asked to participate in a mock training session and asked to teach 15 minutes of that session. Candidates are evaluated on ability to understand and communicate the material. Registration for certification is not refundable and does not guarantee certification.

Class Room Training

We have four class room sessions that cover building your self defense business, to lectures on the more technical and medical explanations on how and why the self defense methods we choose are effective.

Amenities

• Your own private room
• 3 hot meals per day
• Evening events and entertainment
• Wifi and unlimited web access in every building
• Laundry
• Lounge

Last year was amazing and we've reinvested into this upcoming seminar with one purpose: to make this the standard of all Self Defense and Tactical Training Camps. This is a complete training and social experience. We do this with the hopes that you return year after year. In the end, it's more than the training. It's the connections you make and the like-minded people you spend time with.
