OUR MISSION

We promote Self-Reliance through a Self-Discipline mindset.

PDSG is a veteran-owned and operated company focused on bringing balance to the mental, emotional, and physical preparedness necessary for navigating life-threatening situations. While our classes primarily focus on physical techniques, just as important to our staff is providing our students with the tools to best prepare themselves mentally for a dangerous encounter. Our approach aligns with the philosophy that prevention is more effective and less costly than reaction.

With this in mind, at the core of all our instructions are:

Awareness

Assessment

Action

Our goal is that by applying these 3 A's, students will be able to identify and avoid confrontation before it happens. However, we know this is not always possible, so when danger comes knocking we want students to be dangerous themselves.

  • "I have taken two classes with PDSG and they have both been great experiences. They make self defense accessible for everyone. I think what surprised me the most was how much fun I had! I will be singing this group's praises wherever/whenever I can. If you have thought about taking a defense class before, there is zero reason to wait any longer. You deserve to feel empowered! Love these guys so much. If they can get yogis to yell, punch, and kick, they can get you to do it too!"

  • "I took a Safety Awareness and Self Defense class from PDSG. In my profession, it is important to be aware of my surroundings and have a basic skill set for defending myself. I appreciated that this class was very organized and well thought out. The instructors truly care and are passionate about empowering others to feel confident in their own skin. The class was fast paced with detailed instruction and in the moment hands on learning of basic techniques. I am looking forward to taking additional classes from PDSG and adding tools to my personal toolbox while continuing to strengthen and release my inner warrior! THANK YOU PDSG!"

  • "I learned so much in 2 days of classes, I’m feeling a lot more comfortable if I need to take action and defend myself or others. My kids enjoyed it as well, they understand the the 3A’s: Awareness ,Assessment, Action. They can’t wait until we sign them up to continue with their learning! I suggest this class to anyone."
