People in the Washington D.C. area interested in learning how defend themselves in an effective way in real life or death situations, have an extraordinary opportunity to learn from one of the best. Benjamin Drader, reality self-defense expert and US Army veteran has announced a special January 28th Personal Protection Seminar to very high anticipation.

Washington, DC -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/06/2017 -- 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.

"Personal safety is a personal responsibility," commented Drader, whose resume features highlights like directly for two National Security Advisors, a Secretary of State and a Director of the CIA. "Choosing to be unprepared for a violent encounter could make you an accessory to your own assault."

According to District Combatives, some of the topics being covered in the Personal Protection Seminar include highlights like: how to identify and detect violent threats – an absolute must to be able to defend against them; how to deescalate potentially violent encounters; how to defend against violence using an appropriate levels of force – which could be the difference between a self-defense situation and criminal charges; and the secrets of tactical disengagement, to avoid an encounter escalating or being pushed further.

In addition to being a U.S. Army veteran, Drader has a lifetime of martial arts experience at the highest levels in his background, having trained extensively in Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, Special Combat Aggressive Reactionary System (SCARs), Tony Blauer's Spontaneous Protection Enabling Accelerated Response (SPEAR) system, and holding both a Black Belt in Krav Magda and having served as a Chief Instructor in a well-respected Krav Magda school. All this (and more) filtered through his own real world experiences forming the foundation of the curriculum of District Combatives.

The District Combatives Personal Protection Seminar is being held at District Crossfit 1525 Half Street, S.W., Washington, DC 20024 on January 28th, 2017 between 2:30 pm – 4:30 pm, with a $20 entrance fee.

Feedback for Benjamin Drader's work at District Combatives has been consistently passionate.

Alex Cohen, Sales and Marketing Professional, recently said in a five-star review, "District Combatives is an incredibly practical and fun school for learning self-defense. First of all, it is a great workout: class always begins with exercises to get and keep you in shape, and I always leave feeling that I've gotten a solid workout. But the real magic of class is in the way Ben teaches realistic self-defense. He's a master at training the basic skills, and building on them so that in a very short period of time, you feel confident that you could defend yourself from a wide variety of attacks. I can't stress enough how effective this school is at teaching and testing reality-based self-defense skills. If you've ever wanted to know what to do if you were kidnapped, attacked, (or worse), and you've wanted to train your reactions to be effective, powerful, and in-control, then absolutely join District Combatives."

Considering how many martial arts schools there are in America, it's surprisingly difficult to find instructors that properly address real world violence and the physical, mental and tactical skills needed to defend against it effectively. The Capable Citizen Podcast recently ran an in-dept interview with one of America's most accomplished reality combat experts and it shouldn't be missed.

Washington, DC -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/06/2017 -- 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.

"Safety is a personal responsibility," remarked Benjamin illustrating just how important it can be for a person to be capable of defending themselves and their loved ones. "Failure to train and be prepared could make you an accessory to your next attack."

The reality self-defense expert teaches out of District Combatives, in Washington D.C. a serious and Spartan school, where real life encounters, techniques and methods that work are the order of the day. No mirrors, no televisions, no comfortable places to sit – just a pure hardcore training ground.

An intelligent and eloquent speaker, who attended Yale in addition to his military and martial pursuits, Benjamin delivers a treasure trove of actionable information on The Capable Citizen Podcast, fueled by very insightful questions from the show's host. Some highlights of what's covered by the combatives master include: his personal transition from running protection operations to training civilians; an inside look at "Proactive Predictive Adaptive Learning" a method Benjamin uses to better prepare his students at a quicker pace; balancing strength training and adopting proper nutrition to get the best results from combatives work; threat detection, deference and deescalation; Benjamin's thoughts on his years of training in various arts like Krav Maga, BJJ, military hand to hand combat methods and Tony Blauer's SPEAR system; and much, much more.

The Capable Citizen Podcast is an exciting project focused on delivering the highest quality information available related to personal safety and resilience to their listeners, in a way that's as simple and effective as possible. With quality rising all the time it's quickly become a "go to" resource in the personal safety world.

When it comes to real life combat resumes and reputations, it's quite difficult to match Founder and Chief Instructor of District Combatives, Benjamin Drader's. Recently, the Washington, DC-based combatives guru announced the release of a short, no-nonsense guide that could save lives “Personal Protection Fundamentals,” that shares some of Drader's cornerstone ideas.

Washington, DC -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/05/2017 -- 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.

"If I could drive home a couple of lessons the first would be complacency kills," commented Drader about his new guide. "Criminals and other violent people aren't going to change their behavior so it's the responsibility of good people to not be complacent. The other would be 'be your own bodyguard'. If something bad should happen, don't ever count on the police or some other knight in shining armor to be there to help. You will most likely be the one responsible for your own safety and the safety of your loved ones. And that means being prepared."

According to Drader, "Personal Protection Fundamentals" can act as a very good introduction to the combatives style District Combatives offer their students – a system of self-defense that focuses purely on what works well, can be used under pressure, and delivers maximum damage to an aggressor, with its roots coming from a variety of military and non-military sources.

Feedback for the training at District Combatives has been positive across the board.

Frank Colon, (U.S. Navy, ret.), recently said in a five-star review, "Having recently retired from the Navy I was looking for a way to stay fit. However, at my age, I had some reservations about a program that involves physical contact. Working with Ben I quickly realized those concerns were misplaced. Ben's expertise keeps everyone safe while you learn valuable skills and exponentially increase your cardio. Unlike most martial arts, District Combatives training gives you real world skills to keep you, your friends, and family safe. Having trained with Ben for over a year I highly recommend reality based self-defense to keep your mind sharp and body in shape."

District Combatives are offering, for a limited-time-only, a free 30-day trial to men and women interested in joining the school.
