What is Self-defense:
If you’re going to spend your time or money either taking a class or watching a video on self-defense,
this is how you make sure you’re doing it right:
Don’t get cocky.
Ideally, you’ll never be close enough to an attacker where you’ll have to worry about striking or choking him. Your objective should always be to avoid the danger, and that means being aware of your surroundings and finding an escape rather than looking for confrontation.
- Even if you’re well-versed in self-defense techniques, there’s no guarantee that your attacker won’t have a weapon on him or that he won’t be too fast or too strong for you. Any self-defense technique should only be used as a last resort and with the knowledge that if you use it, it might cost you your life if you fail.
- To be clear, the victim of an assault is never, ever to blame. But there are some terrible people out there, and dedicating time and effort towards learning how to protect yourself is a wise move.
- Learning something is better than learning nothing (provided that the information you learn is accurate), but if you truly want to use your body to defend yourself when all else fails, it’s going to take more dedication than a 60-minute class or a quick video could offer
Check the teacher’s credentials.
Just because a person calls themselves a “self-defense expert” doesn’t mean they know what they’re talking about. Have they trained in Martial arts or a defense system for at least a few years? Are they certified? Have they taught before?
You can set your own standards for who you want to learn from, but make sure they have some kind of right to be teaching others how to protect themselves.

Practice until you can’t get it wrong.
Not until you get it right. For these movements to work in a real-life scenario, they have to happen before you can even process what your body is doing. The ideal thing to do would be to sign up for regular classes, but if you can’t do that, at least enlist the help of a friend to drill the techniques you learned until they become second nature to you.
We Offer Ongoing classes to allow for increased confidence and practice in a safe environment.
Don’t go easy on yourself.
When you don’t partner up with someone who’s going to go easy on you. Tell your partner to try to control you using all their strength, just like a real attacker would. Practice in tight spaces, bad lighting, and when you’re already exhausted. It’s going to suck, but if someone actually attacks you, it’s highly unlikely that they’re going to do it in a way that’s convenient for you.
Our classes allow for safe practice in a controlled manner allowing for real life understanding.
