Beginnings: Hogosha
Although a lot of what we do as self defense instructors involves firearms, at our core we’re about self defense in general. Hogosha PDT was created to help people develop the knowledge, physical skill and mindset to survive violence.
The Forge
This led to a lot of work with weapons, including firearms. After teaming up with Integrative Defense Strategies, Hogosha PDT became the best self-defense program in the Black Hills, and before long The Forge was born to allow the full expansion of skills and principles integration.
In all our endeavors our goal is to serve our families and community by providing education, motivation, discipline, and lots of practice.
