Training Group Self-Defense Classes for Men and Women


SELF-DEFENSE COMBATIVES - training groups

Training Groups provide a way for interested people who live outside the geographic region of Pittsburgh to train in our self-defense combatives system. Training Groups are formed and led by a Training Group Leader who has been approved by the PCC to start a group and is the main contact person for us to organize the training.


START YOUR OWN TRAINING GROUP

To start your own Training Group you need at least four people with who you want to train, and we’ll guide you the rest of the way! Typically the PCC will come to your location once per month to teach curriculum. It’s up to the Training Group Leader and the Group itself then to practice between visits by the PCC. We recommend at least weekly practice sessions.

A Training Group can be formed and hosted by anyone - no experience is necessary at all. The PCC must approve the Training Group and Training Group Leader. The Training Group Leader finds a suitable place to train and organizes the persons attending and the schedule of training.
