What is PDC?
Personal safety comes in many forms and serves different purposes. Protective and defensive training (PDT) is not a one-size-fits-all solution—each individual has unique needs, experiences, and goals.
At MATTCOM, we understand that true personal security goes beyond generic techniques, which is why we offer tailored courses and training programs that align with each individual’s specific objectives.
Who is the individual?
Every person seeking personal safety training comes with a unique background and motivation. They might be:
- A business traveler who wants to feel more secure in unfamiliar locations.
- A parent looking to protect their family in everyday situations.
- A martial arts enthusiast eager to expand their skill set with real-world applications.
- A security professional aiming to refine their techniques and tactics.
- A woman seeking practical, effective self-defense strategies to boost confidence and situational awareness.
What do they train?
The reasons behind training are as varied as the individuals themselves. Some train to:
- Develop confidence in handling potential threats and emergencies.
- Gain the ability to protect loved ones in unpredictable situations.
- Prepare for a career in security, law enforcement, or personal protection.
- Enhance their physical fitness while learning practical self-defense.
- Understand the psychology behind confrontation and conflict avoidance.
- Overcome past experiences and regain a sense of personal empowerment.
What is their goal?
Each participant’s goal is deeply personal and can include:
- Building a comprehensive skill set that matches their lifestyle and risk profile.
- Learning practical, no-nonsense techniques that work under pressure.
- Becoming more situational aware and proactive in avoiding danger.
- Mastering specific tools or weapons such as knives, tonfa, or firearms for defense.
- Gaining the knowledge to make informed decisions in high-stress situations.
- Progressing through structured training programs to achieve certification or mastery.
At MATTCOM, we bridge the gap between theory and practical application, ensuring every participant receives customized training that equips them to face the challenges they might encounter in their daily lives or professional pursuits.
