Description

We pack a lot into this 2 hour seminar. While the focus is geared toward physical techniques to counter and resist physical aggression, we use the physical instruction to illustrate concepts and strategies that are crucial to your self-defense at the moment you need it most. Our goal is to begin to help you replace the fear and panic of not knowing what to do with techniques used by the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) that we can use to fight back against the physical evil that exists to do us harm. There is no magic to what we teach. Self-Defense is not pretty, glamorous, easy or pain free but through this hands-on workshop it is our objective to help you see yourself in a way that is more empowering , in control and less at the mercy of those that wish to do us harm. In addition to how to use your arms and legs to fight back, we teach how to counter someone putting their hands around your throat, how to resist someone trying to grab you and move you to another location, and how to protect yourself against trying to strike you and render you helpless. We also discuss as we are working on our physical techniques, how to not look appealing to predators (hint: its not based on how you are dressed) and how to assess someone else's behavior that might indicate they are up to no good. Plus, how to read a room and what 3 questions you need to ask yourself whenever you enter a new environment. No one that teaches self defense can guarantee the outcomes of an encounter, but the more you prepare and the more you know they better our chances of survival.
