Being armed with the proper knowledge and training, no one needs to walk in fear, because you have the RIGHT to feel safe and be safe wherever you go or are at.

In today's society, individual safety is an ever-growing concern. Often women will argue the point, that they have little need for learning self-defense/martial arts or place it low on their priorities. They try to avoid potentially dangerous situation, i.e. allowing a stranger into their house, walking alone late at night etc. However it impossible to be 100% safe as decision making in life is not black and white and instead consists of many 'grey areas'.

Our self-defense seminars focus on risk reduction and avoidance — they are designed to increase individual awareness, build confidence, and reinforce good self-defense habits. During each session, we teach practical tools and viable physical resistance techniques without the rituals of traditional martial arts. There's also lots of opportunity for discussion and hands-on practice in every class.

Why Private Training?

We often get the question, “Why do you only offer private training?” or “Private training is more expensive, is it really necessary?”

The answer to the second question depends upon the goal. If one is only interested in a casual sporting activity or social experience, then no, private training is really not necessary. If, however, the goal is to learn true self-defense concepts, then there is really no better way than private training. The answer to the first question is the same as the second – there really is no better way to learn self-defense.

It is interesting that some people will question the need for private sessions when it comes to self-defense training, but would not think twice about this when it comes to other professional services.

The fact is, when it comes to professional services, people want individualized attention directed to their specific needs and goals. Self-defense training should be no different. We are, after all, talking about skills that could save your life.

Our private self-defense programs allow us to treat individuals as individuals. A customized training program that takes into account specific goals and abilities is designed for each client. Customization allows us to enhance a client’s strengths and strengthen their areas of weakness. Doesn’t it make sense that if you are learning skills to protect yourself and loved ones, you would want the process to proceed in the most efficient and timely manner possible? Our individualized programs allow us to do just that.
