When I talk to people at trade / craft shows about what we do, we hear “Oh I will never need this kind of training because I carry pepper spray or I have a CCW permit or some other type of excuse”. Well believe it not not most people cannot access these items when the need arises or they are taken away from them and used on them.

Are you prepared to defend yourself if something would happen to you? We offer several different options to meet your needs. These classes range from a 3 hour class, 1 day class, 5 week or 10 week classes to even personalized training for you / family or a friend.

 Awesome class! Learned so much. So many things I’ve never considered. Daughter felt very empowered after we were done. Highly recommend this class and this instructor!!!

1.Does the program come from real life training and experience in a field that deals with violence and criminals? This excludes sports, theory-based self defense, power point training and is, by nature, more than knowing how to kick and punch. You want the self-defense programs primary training focus to be defending and dealing with violence from a criminal.

2.Where are the instructors getting their lesson plans and curriculum? This is very important. Many programs do not have a structured and organized written curriculum. It’s the equivalent to attending school and your teacher scribbles out the lesson plan on the same day.

3.Do students get a training manual? A step by step manual is a valuable learning tool, especially when learning self-defense.

4.Does the program and do the instructors operate from a single and organized source or is everyone flying solo? It’s not difficult to obtain a certification in something, however after that, what is in place that maintains quality control, consistency, and professionalism? Checks and balances are very important.

5.Does the program have specific training for what they are advertising that they teach? If your child needs training to deal with a bully, the program you pick should have legitimate experience and training in this area. This should be across that board. Whether it’s a corporation or training teens, ask how and what are your qualifications to teach that market.

6.Can I verify with the affiliate company you are with that you are in good standing? This is if they are part of and receive their training from an affiliate organization. If they are a stand-alone system, ask if they have company or client references that you can verify. Social proof is very important, especially when it involves training that needs to work in real life.

7.Is this program a brand or a single location? This is important especially when it comes to creating and developing a consistent, organized and professional end product. Brands of all types are widely preferred by the market over a small mom-and-pop type of service.The market desires a refined and proven product and that’s what a brand name brings. They also feel more comfortable spending money with an established brand that they can do research on. Examples: Amazon, Starbucks & NFL.

8.How long has the program been around? Anyone can open a business. Staying in business is where the real work begins. A long-established business usually (but not always) indicates that the company is successful, professional, and offering a great product. You do not want them to go out of business before your membership runs out.

9.If you are a company/business/corporation and are looking for a self-defense trainer, ask how many companies has the program trained? Both large and small. A professional and legitimate self-defense company who has specific training for specific businesses should be able to provide an extensive client list.

10.Where do you and your instructors get on-going training? When you get a certification to teach self-defense, you are letting everyone know that you offer realistic self-defense training that could save someone’s life in the real world. It is critical for a self-defense professional to keep their training up to date. Physical techniques are a perishable skill and knowledge of how criminals operate is always changing. Manuals, videos, consultations and in person physical training are all great ways to stay up to speed on reality self-defense training if you are and instructor. Keep This in Mind. One of the most important, if not the most important skill a person could posses is the ability to stay safe and stop a violent threat. This has nothing to do with a sport, winning a trophy or title belt. Watching YouTube videos or adopting ideas from hearsay, example  “I will put my keys between my fingers and hit him in the eye” just won’t cut it. Cell phone safety Apps, pepper spray and many other commonly used crutches are used so people can avoid committing to physically training.

Your safety and safety of your family is the most thing in the world. Ask the hard questions, do your research and be sure that the self-defense company you pick for your training is legitimately qualified to teach reality self-defense.

COBRA-Defense was developed from REAL Law Enforcement training and field experience. COBRA is a GLOBAL Self-Defense brand with locations worldwide.

Good morning Dave, I just wanted to send you a quick message thanking you again for conducting the self defense class last night. It showed that you are an expert in the field and we’re able to get the information through to everyone in a way they were able to understand no matter what their age. I think it was great that you gave a little extra focus on the teens that were about to graduate or heading off to college so they can think outside of the village bubble to realize not every community is as safe as where they were raised. I truly feel you may have prevented some future issues they may stumble into while away from home in the next few years. I look forward to working with you again in the future in getting this very worthwhile information out to people.

Message Body:
Just wanted to send you the post I put on our internal system this morning! Thanks for a great class!!

Last night, after work, I joined a group of fellow employees, their families and friends, to hear a presentation from COBRA Self Defense in Mentor. After a very eye opening presentation, we were moved to the North Conference room, where the tables were pushed aside and we met poor “Bob” the demonstration attacker…and although poor Seth took the brunt of the demonstrations, we all used each other to learn some great techniques for escaping an altercation, with fun names like ‘stepping off the tracks’, ‘double C-strike to the eyes’ (EW!), ‘wrist escapes’, and the ever laughable ‘shop for fruit technique’, we all became more confident in the ‘moves’. We were ushered outside to learn about ways to stop a car abduction or attempted theft. If you have a teen, college student, or interest in this class, I encourage you to take a class – they are offered through their website. I must say it was a very eye-opening experience, and I feel more confident in the knowledge I learned. I hope the rest of our participants do as well!

Since the COBRA Child Abduction Prevention program or C.A.P. has debut there has been a massive surge in media coverage for COBRA owners .worldwide.

Why is C.A.P. getting so much attention from media and parents? Because it answers a parents worst fears with an actual plan for children. The entire course is only a few hours long and has the single focus of awareness, threat assessment and anti-abduction training. There has never been anything like it before.
