CDT- "Less is Better"

CDT is the most effective non-deadly force system in the world. In thousands of street-tested circumstances where justifiable force was needed, CDT has been effectively employed without a single permanent injury to any person.

CDT has adapted effective yet simple techniques to create practical personal protection programs and women's self defense programs. CDT also developed a child safety program called Know and Go™ that trains kids on how and when to run to safety. These programs will teach you what to do about domestic violence and how to avoid domestic violence. Now you can take advantage of Tom Patire’s programs and have the same opportunities to learn self defense and child safety through CDT, the most effective non deadly force system in the world!

Personal Protection

-it's a lifesaver
CDT is the most effective non-deadly force system in the world.

In thousands of street-tested circum-stances where justifiable force was needed, CDT has been effectively employed without a single permanent injury to any person.  Furthermore, no court of law has ever found someone using CDT justifiably to be liable.

Tens of thousands of professionals from all walks of life such as law enforcement, security personnel, military, doctors, nurses, teachers, lawyers, airline personnel and everyday families have successfully completed CDT Certification Courses throughout the world.  Now its your turn to take advantage of these same opportunities.

 Risk Management...

CDT's techniques help keep you out of harm's way.

Due to random, daily acts of violence that occur in society, professionals in all walks of life - CEO's, doctors, lawyers, medical personnel, educators, flight crews and many others - are using street proven CDT techniques that can keep them and the individuals around them safe, if and when justified force becomes necessary.

CDT training.....changing lives by saving lives.
Acts of violence do occur on school campuses.  In times of crisis, educators will need to respond immediately to prevent and minimize the possibility of injuries and tragedies.  CDT techniques are easy to learn, very effective, and can be applied in the event of a crisis occurring on or near the school campus.

CDT LEVELS
The Complete Non-Deadly Force Training System

* Compliance and Escape

* Stun and Run ™ - This course is designed for anyone who wants to learn how to remove themselves from a hostile situation by legally stunning an attacker and then quickly evacuating the area in order to lessen their chance of injury and increase their chance of survival. Course topics include Proper Movement, Time Factors and seeing and Acting Upon The Window of Opportunity. Students will learn how to diffuse and escape the most common statistical attacks by using the least amount of force necessary.

This course is ideal for men and women of all ages as well as for children that are 12 years old and up. This course proves how deception and stuns can help anyone escape most altercations.

* Know and Go ™ "For Kids" - Realizing the most evil element of society exploits children, CDT Developed a program that trains children on how and when to “run to safety”. This unique program teaches kids specific safe running patterns while teaching them to listen to their environment. CDT has done this by designing an obstacle course focused around different turns, movement and obstacle patterns allowing the child to have confidence and assurance while they are escaping a possible abduction. Built into this course is an audible hearing drill that will allow children to concentrate on getting away while listening to their surroundings. CDT realized that children trained the right way can’t beat-up the bad guy but they can sure outsmart them.

* Family Protection™ - This is the absolute best course of its kind ever offered to the public. This is an extremely educational course that is a must for any parent concerned about the safety and well being of their family members, especially their most valuable possession: their children. During this intensive training, students will be taught techniques that focus on Pro-Active and Re-Active scenarios. Students will learn the science of protecting one or several members of their family during an assault or an abduction that centers on a loved one. Upon completion, the family will be trained as a thorough unit in "Critical Zone Movement", "Family Plan of Action", "Audible Cues" and "Fall In Drills". In addition, students will focus more on low-level stuns, diffusion, escorting and release techniques when dealing with third parties. Trainees will be taught real world techniques that can give them a better chance for finding their children if they are lost in a crowded area. The course will cover a variety of scenarios that include possible child abduction, carjacking and acts of violence when children are present.

This course is an absolute must for ANY PARENT who is truly concerned with their family’s safety or any person that has an occupation that focuses on or around children in general.

Course Prerequisites: Must be first certified in both a Compliance and Last Resort Weapon Disarming Course.

* Senior Safe™ - Our elderly are as precious as our children. They are the living story tellers of our memories and the foundation of the society we embrace. They are also statistically one of the most targeted groups of the criminal element. CDT developed a program specifically for the senior citizen. Another first of its kind, this course was developed on a national level to educate senior citizens on the most common criminal acts preying on seniors. Scanning drills, walking patterns, and limited hands on defense are taught to empower alertness safety awareness, and confidence in a senior citizens everyday lifestyle.

A family that trains together - remains together!
