Personal Safety & Self Defense Courses

For Individuals, Groups, Instructors, and Organizations

What’s the difference between Personal Safety & Self Defense?

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.

This is the best self defense course I have ever read. Everything is clearly explained and easy to understand! Phases 1 & 2 are very complementary and greatly enhanced my knowledge of self defense training. IMPECCABLE WORK!

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.
