Intro to Unarmed Self-Protection (Level 2)

This class builds on the principles learned in the "Intro to Self-Protection" seminar. You will deepen your knowledge of targeting key anatomical areas and learn how to incapacitate an attacker from a variety of additional positions. By the end of this seminar, your self-defense skills will be significantly enhanced and broadened.

The requirement for this session is completing the Level 1 introduction class.

An Offensive Approach to Self-Defense

This training emphasizes a proactive and offensive approach to self-protection. Unlike traditional self-defense, which often focuses on defensive maneuvers or techniques to block or avoid attacks, “Unarmed Self-Protection” teaches you to strike first, target critical areas of the body, and disable your attacker quickly.

This seminar is designed to teach you the core principles and methods to prepare you to successfully deal with criminal violence. The techniques in this class are easy to learn, simple to perform, and taught in a safe and methodical manner. This training is appropriate for individuals of all fitness levels. No previous martial arts or self defense experience is required.
