The sad truth is most martial arts deliver poor protection when it comes to street self-defense. There's no doubt at all military veteran and reality self-defense guru Benjamin Drader and his school District Combatives is the exception to the rule. In exciting news, Drader recently announced he will be holding a special District Combatives Personal Protection Seminar in Washington D.C. on January 28th, 2017 where Drader will deliver potentially life changing information teaching attendees how, when push comes to shove, they can be their own bodyguard.

Among the truly skilled and experienced at real world self-defense it's hardly a secret that very few martial arts schools are preparing students for the realities they could very well face on the streets. Benjamin Drader, founder of District Combatives and the Combatives Personal Protection System, has stood firmly against this trend – instead delivering real and raw self-defense instruction that covers all areas of self-protection, from fighting strategies and techniques, to proper mindsets, physical fitness methods and verbal skills to deescalate potentially dangerous situations. A no-nonsense and no-fluff US Army vet, with a long resume of working directly for a "who's who" of big name political figures, including a CIA Director, who has over 15 years of high level martial arts training under his belt in a wide range of disciplines, there's hardly a person more qualified to discuss what it takes to stay safe ub today's quite dangerous real world. Recently Benjamin was happy to announce he was the guest for an eye opening interview and feature on "Rethinking Personal Security" for episode #14 of the popular The Capable Citizen Podcast, where he was able to share everything from his own personal history to his groundbreaking ideas on self-defense.

It's no big secret among insiders, that most martial arts schools and instructors do a very poor job of preparing their students for real-world violent encounters. Washington D.C.-based District Combatives and their Founder and Chief Instructor Benjamin Drader are a sound, smart, and hard working answer to this problem – focused completely on what it really takes to survive in an increasingly dangerous world. Drader, a U.S. Army veteran, with over 15 years of martial arts training at the highest levels, has seen with his own eyes and felt with his own hands what works and what doesn't in a variety of roles that has included working directly for two National Security Advisers, a Secretary of State, HRH Prince of Wales, and a Director of the CIA. In exciting news, Drader recently decided to share some of his principles in his new guide "Personal Protection Fundamentals" available as a free download on the District Combatives website.
