Everything taught in this program is empowering and gives you the immediate skills, tactics and strategies you need to successfully defend yourself. There is peace of mind in knowing that you can dramatically increase the chances of surviving/avoiding a violent attack. You will be taught to identify a threat before it becomes an attack and how to protect yourself from that threat.

Prior experience or previous training is not necessary with this program - and best of all - the techniques you learn can be used to educate your whole family. The program is based on fast, simple movements - not power - and focuses on the ability to attack when you are in danger. There are no flashy moves in this course. Only the most practical and effective self-defense techniques available. Peace of mind and safety starts and ends with you!

This class is a hands-on class.

Space is limited-first come/first served

As social beings, we feel good when we are able to do something positive for others. It’s easy to forget this in the day-to-day chaos of life, but if you set a goal of performing an act of random kindness for the benefit of a stranger, it will leave you feeling good for hours. Your one simple act of kindness could end up changing somebody’s life forever.

There are many reasons people help others, beyond the simple goodness of their hearts, oftentimes, it’s a combination of reasons that motivates a person to pay it forward with kindness. Join us for inspiration from a local leader who values and demonstrates paying it forward, kindness and caring.
