MODELDefense is world class Self Defense and Safety training. A blend of mental & practical strategies - Martial, Military, Self Defense and the Warrior Code - the MODELDefense system was fashioned to promote confidence & safety in an unsafe world.

Founder and Chief Instructor Gordon Cooper is a black belt in Aikido, and gained experience representing his country in both traditional and contact karate. He was also a member of a special military unit and team leader assigned to the protection of a former State President.

He was trained and qualified internationally by both RMCAT Founder Peyton Quinn and world famous FAST DEFENSE Instructor Bill Kipp. Their specific Self Defense System – originally founded more than 30 years ago by Matt Thomas – was recently voted "Number 1" in the world by Black Belt magazine. This system currently forms the backbone of MODELDefense training.

Cooper is a high-level teacher, mentor & protector with international experience. He is Founder and President of "The Phoenix Foundation" www.the-phoenixfoundation.com, an organization promoting Safety and Prosperity despite uncertain times.
