September 7, 2008 The final non-contracted DICTATE Basic Level Course for this year will be offered in October. On October 20-23, 2008 this course will be conducted at the Fountain/Ft. Carson Training Facility. If you are interested in attending, please take the time to fill out the Instructor Application, as soon as possible. As soon it is received, a confirmation email will be sent to you. Pricing and the equipment list will be provided. If you need help locating a nearby hotel, let us know. Spaces are already going fast and instructors from all over the globe have already registered.

The first class offered next year will be the Advanced Level Instructor Course and you must be a certified Basic Level Instructor in order to attend. This will be your last chance before the Advanced course is conducted. Please take advantage of this opportunity.

June 25-28, 2008The DICTATE Basic Level Instructor Course, presented by Paragon Training Group, inc., was a great success. There was an 80/20 pass/fail ratio. That means more instructors are out there. You need to find one in your area if you want quality self-defense training. If you need help, feel free to contact us to get information on someone in your area.

Paragon is currently setting up more classes with law enforcement and military groups. As soon as we have dates, we'll post them. One more Basic Level Course will be offered; then an Advanced Level course will be given sometime this Fall. You must be certified in the Basic Course to attend Advanced Level Training.

Some of the Course Evaluation Reports and Letters of Recommendation will be posted soon, so you can see what the attendees thought of the training.

June 25-28, 2008 Basic Level Instructor Course. Sign up now.

June 2, 2008The new school is open. We officially have a north location. We are located in the Colorado Market Center at the corner of Barnes and Austin Bluffs. Please take some time and come on up and check it out. You won't be disappointed.

June, 2008 Shihan John Petrone, Chief Instructor and Western States Director of the Vee-Arnis-Jujitsu System, is now writing a weekly blog on his MySpace page. It is highly encouraged that all the VAJ students, and anyone else interested in the Adult Street Tactics Program read the blog frequently. Enjoy and please feel free to respond to the postings with your thoughts as well.
