Home Training sessions

The Kulski Foundation for Polish-American Relations provides commercial training sessions for companies, schools, and other institutions interested in preparing to handle situations related to threats such as accidents or natural disasters, terrorist threats, potential assaults or attacks by aggressors, as well as in taking appropriate actions when found in a conflict zone.

Our instructors are former special forces soldiers with combat experience gained during foreign missions. They are trainers specializing in the training of military and police special units, as well as in educating the civilian community on building resilience to contemporary threats and responding to crisis situations. They have many years of experience as instructors in hand-to-hand combat, tactical and sport shooting, and battlefield medicine (TCCC).

Our youth-focused social project titled “Academy of Safety,” implemented during the years 2024–2025, has been granted Honorary Patronage by the Minister of National Defense of the Republic of Poland.
