Description
Personal Safety & Self-Defense Instructor Training
Personal Safety training focuses on educating the mind – providing information that should provide better decision-making before, during, and after potential or real conflict or violent situations.
Self-Defense Physical Skills Training provides the opportunity to learn, practice, and improve the skills necessary for situations when physical self-defense is necessary. This training does not make a person invincible! Individuals, through the training experience, discover what their potential abilities and capabilities are if confronted with potential violence. This newly discovered knowledge and awareness can improve the decision-making process if confronted with a potentially violent situation.
