Empower’s Self Defense Instructor Training Philosophy

Teaching self defense and personal safety skills, techniques, and strategies to the general public (non-martial artists, non-military, etc), who are unable to or unwilling to dedicate countless hours of training time to learn and perfect self defense skills, requires teaching methods that deliver the most amount of value in the shortest possible time. Empower Self Defense instructor training provides these abilities and capabilities for all of its trainees.
ETS instructor training clients have included:
  • Fitness Professionals
  • Law Enforcement Personnel
  • Physical Education Teachers,
  • Military Personnel,
  • Martial Artists and many more!

We provide solid guidelines empowering instructor trainees with the knowledge and ability to design realistic, practical and effective general public training programs.

Core Instructor Training Program

There are 4 Phases of the core Instructor Training program:
  • Phase 1 - Evasion movements, Re-direction and Striking techniques
  • Phase 2 - Loosening & Escape Techniques
  • Phase 3 - Self Defense Against Weapons (Knife, Gun, Stick)
  • Phase 4 - Multiple Attackers, Ground Fighting and more!

Every
training Phase covers the 4 Types of Awareness & Legal Liability in Self Defense so that trainees are thoroughly and repeatedly taught that avoidance is the best self defense action!

Note: Phases 1, 2 and 3 are currently available in distance learning (home study) formats, also. Each Phase (course) includes an Instructor Training Manual and video with a written exam to be completed. See our Shop On-Line page for course information and content details.
