Host a Course

1. Room Requirements:
   • Having a spacious room that accommodates up to 15 students is essential. A comfortable learning space ensures that participants can engage fully in the training.
   • The presence of floor mats (or wrestling-style mats) is crucial, especially for defensive tactics courses. These mats provide safety during practical exercises.
2. Equipment Needs:
   • Punch and kick pads are fantastic tools for hands-on training. They allow instructors to demonstrate techniques effectively and give students a chance to practice.
   • It’s great that your agency is flexible—providing strike pads upon request shows adaptability.
3. Restroom Facility:
   • Sometimes overlooked but absolutely necessary! Having restroom facilities available ensures convenience for both instructors and participants.
4. Benefits for Hosting Agencies:
   • Two Free Spots: Offering two complimentary slots for hosting agencies is a generous gesture. It encourages agencies to actively participate in the training.
   • Free Promotion: Promoting the class locally benefits both the agency and the community. It’s a win-win!
   • Free Shirt (Instructor Courses): A branded shirt adds a professional touch and makes instructors feel part of the team.
   • Free Courtroom Testimony: This benefit recognizes the expertise of current instructors. It’s a valuable perk.
   • Phone and E-mail Support: Having reliable support channels ensures smooth communication throughout the process.

Our approach demonstrates a genuine commitment to quality training.
