Class details
Awareness * Avoidance * Effectiveness
Self-protection is what allows you to prevent, identify and avoid violence.
Awareness
We teach you to be aware of your surroundings and how to have a protective guard up.
Avoidance
Protect yourself by eliminating situations that could turn bad. Allowing space between you and another in a tight situation, limiting the number of beverages you drink, traveling in groups and staying in well lit areas.
Effectiveness
We teach you effective techniques to protect yourself from a predictor. First learn how to predict and prevent violence from occurring, then learn how to physically deal with such situations.
More Aggressive and Violent
The most important aspect of physical self-defense is mindset. A simple technique performed mechanically and without emotion will fail. The only way to defeat a violent aggressor is to become more aggressive and violent. This can never be stressed enough.t
Your adrenaline will give you a small window of near superhuman powers and after that you are left with what you have- this is why it is important to control your fear and panic before the actual assault.
"Based on simple instinctive and reflexive actions; the initial movements will feel natural."
