What is Personal Safety & Self-Defence Training?
Personal Safety Training focuses on education by providing information and strategies that enhance the ability to recognize & prevent, avoid, de-escalate, or exit from potential or real conflict or violent situations. It does NOT involve physical skills training.
Self-Defense Physical Skills Training provides the experience of learning, practicing, and improving realistic, practical, and effective physical skills that may be necessary for a combative situation. Physical self-defense training:
• Does NOT make you invincible, but
• Help you discover your current and potential abilities & capabilities for handling violent situations.
Remember, ONE BODY, ONE LIFE, ONE CHOICE!

This was as good as it gets for an off-site training. Stays to the point – excellent for a personal protection class I teach. The test will be a great reference forever.
