Introduction
This is a street self defense program. It consists of realistic mental and physical self defense material which is effective and necessary to protect yourself. The self defense techniques are derived from karate, kung fu and ground fighting. You will learn to combine the proper mindset with simple but effective techniques that will give you a high probability of success against attacks. Without the proper mindset during moments of extreme fear and stress, your mind will go blank and no techniques or ideas will surface. The material in this course is designed for practical self defense in the real world. There are no frills, no thrills and no fancy or complicated techniques that give the participants no more than a good exercise and a false sense of confidence.

This self defense program is intended for private home lessons or seminars in your place of business. The private lessons can be taught in the privacy and comfort of your own home or can also be held at the trainer's facility in Hercules, California. You will receive full attention on a practical self defense program designed for your special needs. Unusual physical ability and flexibility are not required for the program.

Program
You will learn to deal with fear, intimidation, physical attacks, street situations, etc., both mentally and physically. Special programs can be designed to meet your personal concerns. Let us know what your special needs or concerns are.

Two standard realistic self defense programs are available in addition to follow up sessions. One program is for private individual lessons and the other is for business seminar.

We recommend the standard 3-hour private lesson program and the standard 4-hour business seminar program. A short 2-hour session can also be arranged for the private lesson program.

These self defense programs provide the basic necessary information and training. Various elements in the standard programs should be expanded and repeated periodically so that the material is retained mentally and physically. In order to fully absorb the material, follow-up sessions are advised and should be scheduled. The follow-up sessions are offered at reduced cost.

Since mental preparation is of paramount importance, a typical self defense lesson will consist of lecture type instruction in addition to physical training. Depending on your specific needs, the lessons will be selected from the following:

1. Mental Adjustment and Mindset
2. Potential dangers and situations
3. Body Weapons and Applications.
4. Physical Attacks / Defense
5. Tactical Ground Escape (Ground Fighting)
6. Gun Disarm
7. Club / Stick Defense
8. Knives Defense

Cost:
The relatively small investment on learning self defense is something no one can afford to overlook. The trauma and loss from one single attack can cost you financially, physically and mentally.
