A couple of new updates from Rob Pincus, I.C.E. Training and Personal Defense Network. The PDN Training Tour will be hitting more students and more states with more classes this year, stopping in more than 30 different cities. Personal Defense Network has taken Pincus on as Executive Director (congrats Rob) and will be expanding on its already extensive line of 70 DVD titles. As Executive Director, Pincus will be leading the development of new content offering, instructor development and the overall focus of what they're calling “PDN 2.0”. PDN's Executive Vice President, Tom Durand, advises, ““Nobody in the personal defense training industry does more to make defensive training accessible, affordable, and applicable to the masses than Rob. We look forward to his input and guidance in defining the scope and execution of this industry’s next big thing, and we’re thrilled to have his commitment.” Personal Defense Network is online here; you can watch numerous videos (last year there were approximately a quarter million visitors per month to PDN, watching a total of over one hundred thousand streaming hours of training demonstrations, TTPs and perspectives. Many hours were also spent reading their self defense articles. It's that time again. Get out and train. The right to self defense entails responsibility and accountability!
