Welcome to the new paradigm in personal protection for the Citizen Defender. You’ll never look at your preparation the same way again.
Modern personal protection training you can do anywhere!

We are excited to share the news that Rocky Mountain Self Defense & Fitness has joined forces with Integrative Defense Strategies (IDS) to provide you with a comprehensive self-defense system tailored to the Citizen Defender.
IDS is dedicated to combining hand-to-hand combat with firearm defense skills, using intensive training methods and drills that enable effective threat response at both close and long distances. At Rocky Mountain Self-Defense & Fitness, we understand that relying solely on hand-to-hand combat or firearm skills may not be sufficient in critical situations. Therefore, we advocate for a new approach that incorporates both skills as part of a larger, interdependent self-defense system.
Our self-defense system comprises Legal Education, Mental and Behavioral Preparation, Hand to Hand Combative Training, Firearm Implementation, and Simulated Scenario Exercises. It provides adaptable options and sound decision-making in different scenarios, touching on 5D Core Elements:
- Legal Education
- Mental and Behavioral Preparation
- Hand-to-Hand Combative Training
- Firearm Implementation
- Simulated Scenario Exercises
We prioritize your safety in every class we offer. For that reason, we have established the following
Class Safety Protocol:
- No weapons or ammunition of any sort are allowed in the building. Guns, Knives.
- If anyone leaves the training area, they are to be immediately buddy checked by two people before re-entering the training area.
- If at any time someone perceives a situation to be dangerous or observes an unsafe act, they are to shout “cease fire!” until everyone complies and points all weapons in the safest possible direction until they receive further instructions.
- If there’s an activity in the course that you feel uncomfortable participating in for any reason, it is your responsibility to bring it to the attention of the instructor prior to participating.
- Unsafe behavior will not be tolerated.
We look forward to providing you with the best training and tools to defend yourself and your loved ones. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
CLASS ATTIRE: Pants with belt loops and your own belt will be best ( we do have belts available for your use) – please bring a separate pair of training shoes to wear on our mats. If you have a gun belt & Glock 17/19 holster bring them otherwise we have holsters & belts for your use. NO LIVE WEAPONS ARE ALLOWED IN THE BUILDING
