The PSDI (Police Survival & Defense Institute) (Police Self-Defense Institute) was established many ago years under the historic United States Karate Association. Many senior law-enforcement instructors in the US and abroad were trained and certified under the PSDI. Personnel from the Anti-Terrorists Units, Secret Service, FBI, CID, Interpol, Air Marshals, active police officers, sheriffs departments, State Departments – state and nations, and many other agencies that we cannot name because of restrictions or protocol, trained under the PSDI.

Through the years, training and basic operations have continued, but the PSDI really did not pursue any special activities for some time because it had reached its national goal in most states of the Union -- the formation of government Peace Officer Training Councils with sound standard operation procedures.

After the 911 tragedy, the PSDI has moved to assist security efforts, to provide correct and necessary training for the general public and to once again comment on and advise various agencies on sound operational techniques.

We have some of the best and most experienced instructors in the world on our staff and continuing to be directly involved in the formation of a sound and simple technical structure for the instruction of personnel. We are focusing on a broad range of groups such as service companies, manufacturing concerns, educational institutions, social service agencies and to individuals (which includes children), young adults, families, professionals, business employees, executives, and law enforcement/military.

In our civilian training we offer quality self-protection, incident control and survival training -- concentrating on prevention, awareness, and security in the context of the home, workplace, and during travel. We present reliable skills and teach how to respond to unstable situations. Our students learn how to use common ordinary everyday items as weapons and how to apply self-defense techniques that can be easily learned and to execute under stress..

The PSDI has a special training program specifically designed for needs of law-enforcement and related governments agencies. Our Taiho-Jutsu programs are tactical systems that provide comprehensive abilities that do not conflict with standard departmental regulations.
