Description

In this 4-week course, we begin to construct the base layer of self defense principles, concepts and techniques that students can use immediately and continue to develop in the future if they choose to continue. Our goal is to help our students 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 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. 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. We go beyond what we call the linear method of self-defense training where "if your attacker does "X", then you do "Y". We train student to defend not only physically with our strength using force and leverage, but rather also equally important with our minds. We value the skill of avoidance and de-escalation by teaching situational awareness and analysis along side the physical techniques. Our students who successfully complete and graduate our foundational course earn our yellow belt in self-defense.
