Our Mission

To elevate training methods and practices in self-defense by certifying highly qualified students and instructors. We utilize Subject Matter Experts (SME’s) to provide current and relevant defense information, which becomes the foundation of our training.
Our History

DEI was founded by current and former law enforcement members who identified a need for higher levels of general certification and training. To sustain the best and most updated training methods, we realized that it was an absolute necessity to include experts from diverse fields.

Our Values

DEI supports the natural right to self defense and the 2nd Amendment to keep and bear arms.

DEI training certification process is performance-based. Our credentials are earned exclusively through vetted, licensed instructors.

DEI is committed to researching and educating the public with modern and effective defense methods and technologies
