Commander Dale Brown, a lifelong martial artist, a veteran Airborne Paratrooper and a former private investigator, founded Detroit Urban Survival Training (D.U.S.T.) to empower individuals to defend themselves against violent threats. 

This training goes beyond physical defense; it integrates crucial insights into human psychology and self-defense laws, ensuring you can protect yourself legally and how to focus on strategies to escape, control, or immobilize threats using the least amount of force for the safest outcomes possible.

I had come across Dale and D.U.S.T. on social media as I'm sure many have who are reading this review but through a series of events, it turns out that Dale is actually my cousin through my wife's side of the family! The training is very professional grade and even if you're not someone who sees themselves as being very big into "defense", knowing these basic protection skills and principles will be of tremendous help to you for possible situations you may find yourself in. And Dale and his wife, and the team at large are truely lovely people, my wife and I would highly recommend this training program. God Bless!

My experiences at Detroit DUST have been amazing. I have always been passionate about Personal Protection and have always looked to be a seeker of knowledge. That is exactly what they have to offer! There is a lot of years of experience with some very extraordinary and friendly people who are happy to work with anyone. Each time I've come to train, I have learned something new and can apply it to what I do as an Instructor and also to my every day life as this type of training can most certainly save lives! The facility itself is very clean and comfortable! Go check them out and learn something new that could save your life one day!

Hands down, that training might save your life one day. I “challenged” commander Brown about his tactics and he was successful all the time. His staff is super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Honestly, give it a try.

DUST offers the most effective self-defense training I have found. If you don't want to spend years in a studio learning how to punch and kick, and want to quickly learn how to handle real-life situations that happen on the street, this is the place for you. They were teaching me tactics to deal with gun and knife threats on Day 1 along with how to assess potential threats and respond accordingly. After just a few months, I became much more confident because so many of my questions and fears were addressed. These people are incredibly passionate about sharing their knowledge and furthering their mission. I wish I'd found them years ago! I can’t think of a single type of person who wouldn’t benefit from this training.
