Certified Nelson System Instructors are an important part of continuing the teachings of master of street self-defense and World War II combatives, Charles Nelson. We get regular inquiries for training from Wales to Washington, from China to the Middle East. Many of our prospective students are unable to come to us, and need a Certified Instructor based closer to them. For serious candidates, this is a great opportunity to not only expand your self-defense knowledge and practice to include more advanced techniques, but to complete a rigorous and well-respected program enabling you to train your own students in the Nelson System.
What is Needed to be Considered for Instructor Certification
- Completion of a minimum of the basic 10 self-defense lessons or equivalent distance training
- Pass the written, oral and hands-on self-defense tests in person
- Submit at least 2 letters of recommendation regarding your character and standing in the community from either a law enforcement officer, military or martial arts instructor
- Join the CNSDS Instructors Alliance
- Attend a one day seminar retreat per year for recertification
