About
I am a certified Personal Defense Readiness (PDR) instructor with Blauer Tactical Systems, a worldwide leader in self-defense training. I’m also a 2nd degree black belt and certified taekwondo instructor. Personal Defense Readiness (PDR) is a reality-based self-defense system, effective at preparing you for the real world. It’s easy to learn regardless of your previous experience. Unlike most self-defense systems that rely on strength, speed, and coordination, the techniques in the PDR program builds upon the functional movements you already know how to perform. You’ll learn how to employ body position, technique, and timing, so regardless of age or athletic ability, you can make them work against larger opponents. I've been teaching martial arts and self-defense for 10+ years and love leading my students through the process of gaining confidence, awareness and acquiring the skills to protect themselves in a violent situation. Students learn blocks, strikes and immobilization holds, and how to strike vulnerable attacker targets (head, face, throat, groin, etc.). In addition to technical self-defense skills, we will work on situational awareness, self-confidence, and “finding your voice”.

I feel much safer now in life only with this lesson. Make sense for everyone to learn it.

This is a great class for people of all levels. I learned that I already have the tools and skills with me every day to increase my survival odds and Dan showed me how to use them to get out of some not-so-friendly situations. The training is methodical at times and high-stress-save-your-ass at others. I would encourage anyone who asks to take this training.

I just participated in a clinic with Tactical Defense and I am so fired up! The class instruction was so focused on showing you how to effectively use all of the tools you already have within yourself - it was inspiring! I feel so invigorated and strong after only 4 hours with the instructors and afterwards, I immediately registered for 3 more future clinics! I highly recommend taking a class like this to see for yourself just how capable you already are given the knowledge, tools, and practice to take advantage of those skills. Preparedness breeds confidence! 💪

Dan has taught me so much in the 6 months we have been working together. He is a great teacher, incredibly knowledgeable, and has so much experience. We have worked on the SPEAR self-defense system, special situations, mental training and kick-boxing skills. The workouts are amazing, and I am so much more confident than when we started. You will not find a more knowledgeable and experienced coach who is as engaged and hands-on as Dan – he will help you accomplish your goals!
