History

Established in 2011.

While there are many fine martial arts courses available, Dave Pike, owner of Personal Defense Connection, realized that there aren’t very many self defense programs that contain techniques that can be learned easily and quickly. He developed a unique and innovative series of defense classes that include techniques that can be quickly learned and that have been proven effective. These classes are fun and informative and are for men and women of all shapes, sizes, fitness levels and ages (16 and over). They are perfect for college students, real estate agents, teachers or anyone who has to enter a deserted parking lot or other potentially dangerous area. You will learn awareness, prevention, effective techniques and what to do after an attack.

We also offer NRA and other Firearm training courses, including PPIH (MI CPL class) and PPOH, as well as PPCT classes (for Criminal Justice Agencies/​Agents).

Our goal is to help make our community safer.
