Training

A 4-hour course including an introductory lecture in developing threat awareness, the survival mindset, managing contact panic, and the laws pertaining to self-defense. The hands-on segment deals with manipulating human nature, being grabbed, escapes, and how to shut down the attacker. This is NOT a martial art — it is an interactive system of action/reaction tailored to the law-abiding general public.

Hand gun safety, how to break down and reassemble your weapon, cleaning, understanding ammo, managing your grip, basic stance, sight alignment, and carry options.
