TCS is an innovative training solution provider. Our Instructors and advanced TCS Practitioners are a unique group of people. Even though they come from all walks of life and their age difference varies greatly, they all seem to have discovered a common ground; they had passed through the “understanding phase” of what it takes to become effective in personal protection out in the real world and identified Tactical Combat Systems (TCS) as one of the supreme applications to provide personal security. Many of our TCS practitioners are no strangers to self-defense training, as they are experts in various other martial arts stiles or experienced close quarter combat veterans. Without ambiguity all of them recognize TCS as one of their greatest assets when it comes to defending yourself in life-threatening situations.

As a truly effective self-defense system, TCS applications have evolved over the years and adapted to the changing demands. TCS does not require special athletic abilities and because it is not dependent on physical strength, female practitioners are just as effective when it comes to dealing with real threats. Taught by qualified Instructors in seminars, group lessons and private instructions, students have taken advantage of our education programs all over the world. Seminars have been held in the U.S., Germany and Australia and are extremely effective to get first exposure, because they are conducted by the Founder and World Chief Instructor, Walter Schmidt. In these intensive one or two day events Walter Schmidt explores in great detail why TCS works. Following many hours of practical lessons the participants will have a much greater understanding of its functionality. Enrolling into a TCS class after an intensive seminar would be the proper choice for anyone who takes self-defense seriously. We have seen some students progress quickly to reach a qualified practitioner level, worth mentioning especially some of our female participants. This progress is exceedingly accelerated if the student takes advantage of private lessons, where qualified instructors can work on particular and individual skill sets.

We also believe in personal growth to be an essential part in any successful endeavor. Our curriculum to become a TCS instructor requires a comprehensive education, not only in practical applications but also in personal development. In our opinion success is not measured by self-centered motives but on how many people we helped in their personal quest to increase their own value. We are continuously educating our Instructors in this area. As it is with all endeavors worthwhile pursuing, some individuals emerge as natural leaders as they underwent great personal growth in the process.
