Personal Defense Training, Inc

Unarmed self defense, and firearms training for recreation or personal protection

Our Mission:
We are here in the North Suburbs of Chicago, to impart our skills and
knowledge to anyone who would like to become better prepared to protect
themselves and their loved ones. The interested student can learn and train in
our Northbrook, IL studio/dojo or at our firearms classroom in Glenview, IL or
Prospect Heights, IL and at various shooting ranges.

Our goal is to offer each student a chance to train in a wide variety of self
defense-related subjects. From unarmed self defense against any attack you can
imagine, to personal protection both in the home and outside on the streets you can become proficient in protecting yourself and others.
For those students interested in gun safety, and learning to safely handle and
shoot firearms, we offer NRA Basic Pistol Courses for recreation and personal
protection. For those students who are interested in obtaining a CCW
(Concealed Carry Weapons Permit) we offer these courses:

The Illinois Concealed Carry License 16 hour Course

This course is for those citizens who have not had any formal firearms
training. Our course is approved by the IL State Police (ISP) to satisfy the
training requirements for those who plan to apply for the IL Concealed Carry
Firearms License.

Unarmed Self Defense

I can teach individuals and group classes on a range of subjects:
-Basic personal safety and situational awareness
-Defending against an attacker
-Advanced techniques and strategies for use against attackers armed with
weapons, and surviving attacks from multiple opponents.
Contact me, and I can design a class or program specific to your needs.
Classes will be held in my finished basement. I have set up a personal martial
arts studio, with mats, a punching bag for practicing strikes and kicks, mirrors
to help self correction, and other training equipment.

About Us
MARTIAL ARTS
My martial arts career has spanned 40 years. I trained in Karate to become
proficient in a system of blocks, strikes, and kicks. I then continued in Ju-jitsu,
to round out skills in grappling, throws, and joint locks. I have spent many
years teaching Karate and self defense. My students developed defense skills
and self confidence. I am a member of the American Okinawan Karate
Association, the American Traditional Ju-jitsu Association, and the U.S. Judo
Association.

FIREARMS
I have been using firearms for about 35 years. As a member of the U.S. Army
Reserve / National Guard, I was trained in both rifle and pistol. As a
Lieutenant and Captain, I often taught basic marksmanship, firearms safety,
and range operations. I worked as Range Safety Officer and as Range OfficerIn-Charge during unit firearms qualification. Additionally, I've been in the
field of Law Enforcement, both in Corrections and Police work, for over
24 years. I have been trained in the use of rifle, pistol, and shotgun.
