His Self-Defense instruction incorporates a powerful comprehensive and integrated system that focuses on self-protection and what is effective on the streets for the average person.
This provides the perfect opportunity for anyone to learn how to defend themselves against bullies, muggers, car jackers, kidnappers and rapists through defensive blocking, offensive punching and kicking to disable the attacker’s strikes and grabs, thus providing time to safely escape to a safe place.
This self-defense instruction does not include martial arts sparring!
Self Defense Vs. Martial Arts : The reality is 90% of self defense is you making yourself undesirable as a target by not giving out an "easy victim / prey" vibe. It is about stopping a physical assault with minimal damage to yourself and your loved ones.
Self defense is a struggle for survival - not a safe Martial Arts "fist fight” with rules. In a martial arts "fight" or "sparring match" you could lose and safely go home. In a real-world self-defense attack you may not. In the aftermath of an assault, you want to walk away as a survivor.
