College is a great adventure. It is also a great responsibility. Your teachers are there to guide you through the academics. You are responsible for the personal side, which includes your physical and emotional safety.

You’re leaving home, taking on a great amount of independence. No Mom, Dad or boyfriend to fall back on. You need to be able to rely on yourself. Often in college you’re on your own, walking to and from night classes, in and out of fraternity parties, dorm rooms and parking lots. You need to be able to walk confidently, live confidently, you need to learn how to protect yourself.

TO THE PARENTS:  You’ve done everything you could to protect your daughter for the first eighteen years of her life. Now she’s college bound and on her own to protect herself.

Send her off with the mental and physical tools that can help keep her safe.

You can’t be with them as they go off to college to get an education, but this class will educate them now, before they go, on how to protect themselves.  The incidence of attacks on freshmen is much higher than it is at any other time.  Letting go is hard but don’t let that stop you from realizing the need for them to have this knowledge.

SELF-DEFENSE FOR MEN

Can you really protect yourself?

Can you really protect your loved ones, the people that rely on you?

This unique seminar offers men practical, usable information, guidelines and hard-core self-defense techniques for a variety if inherently dangerous situations including tips for the business traveler.  Basic “street smart” concepts are explored and demonstrated.  Mental awareness is as key as physical agility, and we discuss strategies to avoid conflict altogether, but when you’re given no way out you will have a fierce and deliberate response.
