The Charles Nelson Self-Defense School is now accepting application for online students. We will be offering this instruction through Skype on a limited basis to some of the hundreds of prospects that contacted us about CNSDS Distance Learning and Instructor Certification. If selected, this is your chance to be one of a limited number of students who will get a chance to study with Robert Spiegel, who was personally selected by Charles Nelson to carry on teaching the Nelson System as his most advanced senior student. While others online claim to be instructors in the Nelson System, most of these people never studied with Charles Nelson, his designated heir, or any other legitimate World War 2 Combative expert. Only Robert Spiegel has the direct lineage and was uniquely selected by Mr. Nelson to teach the Charles Nelson World War 2 Combative System.

To apply for CNSDS Distance Learning and Instructor Certification:
If you are interested in online classes or have questions, contact Robert Spiegel, CNSDS Senior Instructor at rspiegel@cnsds.com. You will be emailed a questionnaire and requirement and fees. After completing the questionnaire and submitting it to the Charles Nelson Self Defense School, you will be contacted regarding your acceptance. Not everyone who applies will be accepted – only those who can demonstrate commitment, character, and proficiency will be considered.
