Defendo

History of Defendo

Through out the years the techniques have been improved and modified for modern use. Only techniques tried and tested to work remain in the system, all unnecessary and unsure techniques have been removed. Many years of work has been put in to develop Scandinavian Defendo to ensure that none of the techniques will fail you when they are needed. This is why Scandinavian Defendo is held in high regard as a realistic Self Defense system, one of the best in the world.

To meet the needs of Europe, Scandinavian Defendo has been developed, taking into consideration the european culture and environment. Lighting, Climate, Environment and Culture create their own needs which must be taken into consideration when developing a realistic self defense system.

To maintain the Scandinavian Defendo standard, and to ensure it remains intact as it spreads, in terms of technique and tactics, and remains of the highest quality and effectiveness, Defendo Alliance has created an international team made up of professionals in their own field of combat and security. The I.D.D.I (International Division of Defendo Instructors) instructors will travel around the world teaching Scandinavian Defendo, whilst gathering up to date information and opinions for the needs of the self defense world, in an effort to keep Scandinavian Defendo one step ahead.

Jyrki Saario is the chief instructor of Scandinavian Defendo and is in
charge of instructor training and their advanced training. You can
