Scholl Security Group

Scholl Security Group operates a self-defense program built on a foundation of Krav Maga, continuously evolved through training with recognized leaders in the force-on-force instruction space. Owner Adam is committed to teaching self-defense that actually works—not isolated techniques performed in sterile environments, but practical skills tested against actively resisting opponents.

Scenario-Based Learning Over Technique Drills

Most self-defense schools teach striking and grappling techniques in isolation. Scholl Security Group incorporates dialogue simulation and scenario-based training that mirrors how real violent encounters actually unfold. Whether it's a confrontation that goes wrong or an ambush situation, students learn to recognize pre-attack indicators, control distance, and employ physical skills in proper context.

Force-On-Force Training Evolution (EVO)

Classes incorporate training evolutions where students work against live, resisting opponents using non-lethal training equipment. This exposes students to realistic stress and forces them to actually execute techniques under pressure—not "simulated contact" or pulled punches, but genuine resistance that separates what works from what doesn't.

Adam regularly attends training with recognized experts in the self-defense world, including Craig Douglas of Shivworks. He believes instructors who stop training become stale—teaching 1950s Krav Maga techniques when better methods have been proven. His commitment to continuous learning means students get current, effective instruction, not outdated doctrine. :::

The program emphasizes that self-defense is multifaceted:

• •Mindset matters – Recognizing threats exist and preparing accordingly
• •Dialogue is essential – Most confrontations escalate through conversation; learning verbal de-escalation prevents going kinetic
• •Physical skills need context – Techniques only work when you understand when and why to apply them
• •Instruction quality depends on instructor character – Approachability, humility, and genuine concern for student learning outcomes are non-negotiable

Scholl Security Group hosts courses from recognized instructors like Craig Douglas of Shivworks, bringing expert-level instruction to the Pennsylvania area. Recent hosted courses have included:

• •Shivworks ECQC (Extreme Close Quarters Concepts) – 2.5-day pistol access from entanglement course
• •Shivworks EWO (Edged Weapons Overview) – 2-day knife defense and offense instruction

"Most who choose to carry a firearm for self-defense have very little training. The training that they do have is generally marksmanship training that has very little to do with the combative use of a pistol in a real violent encounter." – Adam Scholl, reflecting on why force-on-force pistol training is critical for everyday carriers.
