The Weapon Brand self-defense system is the brainchild of Brian Anderson-Needham, who created the program and taught it for over 20 years, specifically for law enforcement, parole, and corrections agencies in Ohio. The success of the program has been recognized by other state agencies, who continue to purchase it for the training of their own use. It combines the most effective techniques from nine different martial arts styles, including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Krav Maga, Muay Thai, and more.

Brian Anderson-Needham delves deep into this topic, debunking some of the most widespread myths that could potentially jeopardize one's safety. Think kicking in the groin or clutching keys between fingers is your best defense? Think again. Brian dissects why these, along with relying on secondary devices like mace or a taser, stomping on someone's foot, or even throwing a punch, might not be as effective as popular culture leads us to believe. Instead, arm your employees with genuine knowledge and techniques that can genuinely protect them in adverse situations. This session is more than just a talk— it's an investment in safety, awareness, and empowerment.

    Brian,

    I want to thank you for the defensive tactics class you instructed for our SWAT team. The tactics were exactly what we wanted. They were easy to perform and easy to retain. Some DT courses are a waste of time due to the tactics are hard to retain and use when needed. Your course was the opposite. The tactics are easy to remember and easy to perform under stress. The tactics you taught us, we can implement in our monthly trainings during our scenarios. I, and everyone in the class, appreciated the effort you put towards teaching us.

    I wish you and Weapon Brand the best as you go forward.
