The North Dakota Defensive Training Institute provides personal or small group instruction, training, and practice in various forms of self defense training.  The instruction is provided by Dr. Jeremiah Glosenger.

​

Dr. Glosenger has experience in martial arts competition and instruction.  He is a certified 4th degree black belt head instructor by the Kukkiwon (World Taekwondo Headquarters in South Korea).  He also holds a 1st degree black belt in Hapkido.  He is also an NRA Certified Basic Pistol course instructor.  He has taught concealed weapons permit classes in Ohio and is now certified by the ND Attorney General to teach ND Concealed Carry Permit classes and administer the state test.  He enjoys martial arts, power lifting, and defensive pistol shooting.  Having survived a number of dangerous situations throughout his life, Dr. Glosenger knows first hand the limitations of the ability of law enforcement to respond to 911 calls and provide protection for you.  He believes that it is good to take personal responsibility for our own safety until help can arrive and would like to use his knowledge, experience, and training to assist other law-abiding citizens in learning the arts of self defense--especially those who are the most vulnerable.​​

​

 Those who need a concealed weapons permit, but find it a financial strain to pay for the class can be worked with to get their permit.
