What is Personal Safety & Self-Defense Training?

Personal Safety Training focuses on education by providing information and strategies that enhance the ability to recognize & prevent, avoid, de-escalate, and/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 a participant invincible, but
• Helps each person discover his or her current and potential abilities & capabilities for handling violent situations.

Remember, ONE BODY, ONE LIFE, ONE CHOICE!
