What is the Total Defense System?
A blend of military and martial arts training that utilizes the most effective and practical methods of defense. Throughout the program, all aspects of self defense are covered, including armed and unarmed defense.

How do I learn online?
Individual instructional videos are available for members who want to study individual techniques. A progressive online curriculum is available that teaches you Pat Tray's Total Defense System. Each class builds on the techniques learned in the previous class. Our online program teaches you self defense, as opposed to showing you techniques to repeat over and over. What makes our online program unique is the incorporation of training drills to improve the skills you have learned.

What am I going to learn in the Total Defense System?
Elements of the Total Defense System can be seen on our videos page. For a complete list of the individual techniques, you need to register. (It's free)

How do I buy videos?
By creating a free account you do not have to waste time downloading large files. All the videos are stored on our servers. Each time you buy a video your account is updated and you will have access to the full length video.

Why don't you sell DVDs of the training?
DVD's get lost. Your kids hide them all over the house. The discs wind up in the wrong cases and then you have wasted money on DVD you can't find or watch. By serving the videos from our hosting center, you save money and time. The training will always be available online, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you have internet access then you can train.

How do I get my kids involved?
Each Total Defense System class can be printed out and the curriculum used as an excellent way to teach young children self defense. Pat Tray's progressive curriculum ensures your child will build a solid foundation of footwork, defense and striking. Combining cardio, strength and speed training in every class, kids can get in shape and learn self defense from their parents.

Why don't I go to my local martial arts facility for training?
Martial arts facilities can sometimes be intimitdating to beginners. By following Pat Tray's progressive curriculum, at your own pace, you can develop the confidence you need in knowing you have a solid foundation in self defense from an unquestionable expert.

Most martial arts facilities are not able to offer the high level of training that we offer. Very few, if any martial arts facilities have an instructor with a high degree of military special ops training and a high level of martial arts training in the same individual. Our hand-to-hand, blade, stick and firearm training can not be found anywhere with the same quality instruction. Our specialty is self defense instruction. We don't show you how, we teach you how.
